SAM for Animals/Creatures

[extremuse 1]

Hi there,

are there any mods for SAM-like Creatures and animals? I'd prefer the giants to be more muscular for example...

Thanks

Alex

I don't think there are; 

    It would take a lot of effort to make creatures be compatible with the SAM mesh body and it's textures. You would have to stretch them out using another program and rework every giant in skyrim or the entire race to look more human then overlay it with the giant's feature D:

   The entire thing is just scary, there are mods that add more monsters to skyrim that have human like features you can try Skyrim Monster mod or as it's called  Skymo

Hey there,

thanks a lot. Then I'll try the app you mentioned

Best Greetings

That does look like fun.  I tried looking through the files to see if an easy replacement is possible.  It's not.

The skeleton has a different proportion and the animations seem to be linked to that proportion.  There are two options, with one being easier than the other:

1. Modify the existing giant's body, changing body shape, textures, etc
2. Resize SAM body mesh to have the same proportion as the giant's skeleton and redo weights

There are pros and cons for both.  The first one is easy with just Outfit Studio.  The second one requires a full 3D edit but will allow current SAM textures to be used.  It would be an interesting side project to have.

On a side note, has anyone already converted the giant's clothes to be wearable?

I think there is one on nexus. I already use it long time ago. Giants armor for human.

Alright so... worked on this all effing day and I need to revise my statement before

Its possible. But ... Not sure I want to tackle this one. That said if I can perfect the werewolf and giant followers I made I can release those

[JDAnchor 37]

That giant in the screenshots looks so good. I hope you guys can get this to work

[SavrenX 10,317]

[NeutronSphere 346]

You make textures right Don. Maybe thatd be a better route. Just improve theirs. I assume Giants dont have talking/lip movement tho. The thing I was working on gives them a regular human head

[SavrenX 10,317]

It use human head too. You can see the face different right. This body totally sam and textures. This giant based on mod giant race modified to sam.

But i don't play LE anymore and this file gone with my hdd. If i must make giant again it will be for sam light. Not for skyrim LE for sure.

Just winging things here with what I've learned customizing skeletons for other projects. Was spoiled with
the werewolf since that one was way easier. Anyways back to my Bochu boys for now

[plutarco 7]

Can be SAM be applied to giant custom race?
