Hey I am new to moding for NWN EE and I would like to learn how to make a new face model or edit an existing one to add a new face texture to it. I looked all over the internet and there was no help from what I could find so I have come here to try and get answers of some kind.
Hello and welcome!
Assuming you have knowledge with a 3D-program like Blender, you should first import a vanilla model from NWN1 (Blender needs the Neverblender-plugin for that). Do extract a model and the textures using NWNexplorer and put the textures into the same folder as the model. Study how they are done. NWN1 uses half face textures and mirrors them onto the other side. Of course full face textures are also possible. You’ll find examples of custom heads on the vault.
And for a start I’d use a finished head and would try to tweak that and the existing texture. Also you should maybe use a custom head from the vault, because they have more detail = faces. NWN1-models are pretty basic = low poly.
Is that a start?

Always heard that the problem was rendering anda that modelling in a non-desktop PC was possible, especially if it’s a low poly model, just want to be sure as I heard otherwise lately.
