Description
Beware the Elder Scrolls Construction Set in the hands of a bored fangirl.Actually I made this for a real-people-faces tutorial, since someone else had already pretty much made his hair. I did actually learn a couple things, too - IMO this head came out much better than the "me" head I'd made a long time ago. If any Morrowind players want this, just let me know and I'll put it somewhere for you.
And before anyone asks: no, I will not be putting his face on Aryon.
EDIT: I also posted this on the Bethesda Softworks Morrowind modding forum - the screencaps thread subsequently exploded into replies ranging from "if that Hammond isn't a Bosmer I'll be disappointed" (he isn't; he's a Breton) to "Hugh Laurie next plz," followed by "IT'S NOT CORPRUS" and the idea that Hugh Laurie should be Divayth Fyr... idunno, I thought it was funny, maybe you had to be there.

Awwwwww!... I wanted to ask for a link to your mods since I admire them, but they are already found XD Thanks a lot for what you do )) Would you care to eerm cooperate? ) I'd love to draw a set of good-looking faces and you probably could put them on the models

I already have at least four large Morrowind mods that I have to get off my ass and make

Great job

He looks like a Bosmer, which would fit his real-life stature! But it's really well done; plus the world looks a lot more realistic (I'm assuming its Shenk's Shovel) - what plugins have you got running to get that look?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, that's Shenk's Shovel all right! I am running Better Clothes, plus more texture replacers than I can remember - some of them I believe are called things like Silverware Enhancer and Glassware Enhancer; I don't remember at all which texture pack contains the wood and tapestries; if you ask on the Bethsoft forums they could probably tell you.

Hey, do you have a link to this face mod? It's brilliant! I didn't realise this until about 2 mins ago, but I'm actually running about 5 of your mods on my version of Morrowind!

I never put it up anywhere, but I'll see if I can collect the files and send it to you. I'm currently on vacation so it will not be until next week.

That would be really kind! Thanks!!!

Putting Hammond into a world without cars is the cruelest torture you could have devised for him.
And you call yourself a fangirl.

Hey, it's not like I can't mod in Oliver or a Zonda for him too... since he's not a permanent resident I didn't bother.

Hellooooo uncanny valley.
Looks almost too real for TES3, but well done none the less.
...Is it just me, or does he look a little lazy-eyed?
Could be the screenshot angle too, MW has a habit of doing that (at least to the faces I've tried)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Probably the angle; he looks fine to me.
With all the various NPC head replacers out there though, almost everyone in my game has a super-real-looking head, so it didn't seem weird to me at all.

The two most popular Elder Scrolls games both come with the same tool the game developers used to put the worlds together in the first place, which means that you can add in pretty much whatever you want. If you've got access to a decent graphics program and either a 3D modeling program or some stock models, you can do graphics upgrades and additions, too - I found a decent-sized photo of his face and a model that was fortuitously exactly the right shape, and converted the photo to a surface texture for that model. Then, I loaded the face model into the game using the Construction Set, along with the hair that someone else made ages ago, made a Richard NPC, and dropped him into what I thought would be a good location for a screencap.

I've also done a Hugo Weaving face but it didn't turn out nearly so well.

Heh, being the Yank that I am (and a Yank who never watches TV) I had never heard of this gent. Thanks to you I now understand your "cars" reference in the title.
Great job! I <3 Morrowind

I WAS a Yank who never watches TV too, but then the second bit got tossed out the window when my boyfriend showed me a few episodes...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes, significant others are good for always getting us to watch things we might not normally.
Once again, great job with the mod. Lately I've been desiring to indulge in Morrowind again. I have a level 17 Nord barbarian I've been messing around with, but lately other games have been vying for my attention.
