I was watching Dexter and thought, "wait I know that voice!" So I had a look on IMDB and I was right, then I came here to see if anyone had made Courtney and Piper one. Well done Leon Scott Kennedy of the Racoon Police Department.
I don't suppose anyone's considered creating a mod that turns Piper's face into this. TheCourier13's account is closed so I can't ask if they could find a way to do it and I don't know how to make mods at all. I started watching Legends Of Tomorrow because of her.
Hi, I have the loose files version of ponytail Hairstyles installed. I uninstalled prior piper-mod and installed this, but the face is still the older version (subtle tweaks). I don't want to install the ba2 ponytail hairstyles as well, since that might cause optimization issues (?)
Is there a workaround for the loose files? Any advice on why the old piper (subtle tweaks) - (Uninstalled) still shows up? ,Perhaps I need to leave the area and come back?
Another thing, is that in my load order, you plugin shows red under required files missing since I don't have the ba2 ponytail hairstyles
Thanks
edit - BTW amazing work. I've always wanted to have in-game characters look like the real voice actors. this is damn brilliant. appreciate
I'm glad you like it! For V2, I slightly adjusted the eyes and cheeks to be more accurate. I also changed the cheeks and neck texture so that if the Valkyr face texture is installed, it appears on the entire face and neck.
Yeah, I noticed the texture difference and the eyes and cheeks. My observation about the previous version (1.5) was that when she had the press cap on, something about her face didn't quite sit right with me, couldn't put my finger on it. Take the press cap off, and it looked better, though there was still something slightly off.
Here's a pic of how she looks now with the press cap on with V2:
The difference, in my opinion from before, is significant. Also, please note that in the pic I'm using this mod for lowering the press cap brim to hide the hair clipping: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/23899/?
Actually, looking at it in game with the face texture mod and True Eyes light Green, I don't think you're going to be able to get much closer, I'm uploading two images that compare Courtney Ford in real life to a screen shot I took of a player character with the preset at about the same height/angle and it looks spot on. You might want to use these as the main image files. It really shows how accurate 1.5 truly is.
Thanks for the suggestion about the Valkyr Face Texture mod, True Eyes mod, and comparison image. I uploaded a couple of side by side comparison images of the preset and the real Courtney Ford.
Hey man, glad you took up the challenge. Will download and check it out.
I'm certainly a noob when it comes to face gen, my main goal was two fold, try it myself since no one seemed like they wanted to, and two, hopefully inspire someone to do it who could do a better job.
I really like this eyes and nose/bridge on this one, BTW, very accurate.
**EDIT*** YOU GLORIOUS BASTARD!!!
Well done!!!!
Question, how does one go about making a esp file for a preset? I have no idea how to go about it.
I'll look into it, I think I will try a JSON file reader and see if I can get the data from it and hopefully transfer the numerical values to a ESP via FO4Edit.
Good news, I've managed to make an esp using the technique I mentioned earlier, had a hell of a hard time figuring out which numerical value was off, the json file reader wasn't giving me the right number for the nose tip (It was only one number that wasn't correct) which was making the nose look like it was smashed flat by a brick, lol.
Took me forever to figure out which number wasn't right, literally every other number I had imputed and it was all fine except for the nose. So I had to manually enter a number, save the esp, load the game and use looksmenu on Piper, over and over again. I've almost got it, so I should have it done by tomorrow morning when I fine tune it.
ESP is nearly done, getting the lipstick color to match is forcing me to edit the RGB in FO4Edit and the intensity as well. Even then, it won't be perfect, too much work to go for perfection, but it will be very close. Blush color is going to be slightly different, but frankly, it's not worth the work to me. Body type overall is slightly thinner/smaller than your preset was, but sill quite curvy using CBBE. Courtney is curvy, but has a smaller frame build as far as I can tell, so all the better.
When I'm finished, with your permission, I can upload it on my file, then you can download it and put it on yours, once that's done, I will take mine down.
***EDIT***
Esp file is done. Made another one with eye waterline makeup added @ 30% intensity, Courtney tends to use eye liner like in your preset, but I've noticed she also tends to use a light waterline eyeliner too.
3rd preset made, changed the cheekbones and cheeks just slightly, I uploaded that tweak to your images to see what you think of it.
It sounds like you went through a lot to make the ESP.
I appreciate your efforts, but you don't need to upload your ESP. I googled how to make an ESP and found an easier method by using Face Ripper, FO4Edit, and a save file with the face you want your companion to have without the need to input numerical values.
You don't need to worry about making an ESP for this preset, I can upload an ESP for this preset myself.
Oh, the body type for this preset was left as default, I did not make any adjustments to make it like Courtney's body.
Thanks for letting me know about the light waterline eyeliner and your tweaks to the cheekbones and cheeks look great!
Well, crap. I feel silly for going through the effort now, I should have just used Google, LOL. Thanks for letting me know there's an easier way to go about doing this.
Oh, and for those using this preset mod with the Azar Long Hair 3 that it comes with, I recommend this mod for lowering the press cap brim if you use this to replace Piper's face :

She is amazingly accurate. Makes Piper seem even more authentic, and cute as heck!
Thanks again

I think you're pretty good at face gen. I also believe you fulfilled your goal by attempting it yourself and inspiring me to create it.
I haven't made a esp file for a preset, so I don't know.
Took me forever to figure out which number wasn't right, literally every other number I had imputed and it was all fine except for the nose. So I had to manually enter a number, save the esp, load the game and use looksmenu on Piper, over and over again. I've almost got it, so I should have it done by tomorrow morning when I fine tune it.
