The return of Bringing Life To The Mojave




A tutorial / study into the creation of unique new creatures for Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 providing techniques and an in depth look at the process.

This should provide fellow modders with the knowledge required to create and animate their very own creatures.

It was discussed with Nexus staff of maybe putting this up as a Wiki however with 80 pages and the addition of future topics I decided a downloadable mod in PDF format was the best way to proceed.

Knowledge and use of the following programs are recommended:


3DS Max (2012)
Figments 3DS Max plugin 3.7.3
