- Back during my Morrowind modding days, like ten years ago, I went by 'Neuman', and my user name here is actually a derivative of that.
- Problem with Better Bodies - posted in Morrowind Technical Support: I've looked all through the forums, but havn't been able to find a solution. I've been unsuccesful.
Morrowind is the third installment in the Elder Scrolls series. The game takes place on the island of Vvardenfell, a district in the Dunmeri province of Morrowind. It is smaller in scope than the previous games in the main series, Daggerfall and Arena, yet much more detailed. This epic, open-ended RPG allows for a wide variety of character designs and play styles. The game continues to be sold on store shelves ten years after its initial release, partially due to the widespread mod community which has the potential to supply Morrowind with new content in perpetuity.

Back during my Morrowind modding days, like ten years ago, I went by 'Neuman', and my user name here is actually a derivative of that. ('Neuman' - 'New Man' -poorly translated into Latin- 'Vir Novus'.
It's hard to come up with a username that other people on sites you like, don't also use.) Someone asked how this mod came about, and this was my answer: Originally, the bodies were broken into segments, like marionettes. Each part was a static object, meaning that it didn't bend as the body moved. The only parts that could deform were the chest and the hands, and everything else was essentially wooden. Originally, I tried to make clothes and armor mods, but the body made that very difficult. Still, I released 'Neuman's Black Leather', in which I tried to add some stuff like shorter skirts or whatever for the female characters, because there was a lot of demand among modders for that type of model. It frustrated me that the clothes models couldn't fit on top of the body models, so it was impossible to make low-cut shirts, or anything that went lower than the neck, since any shirt-type clothing would replace the entire chest model. It was also impossible to have short-sleeved shirts, or most types of clothing that would show skin through them.
I ended up inventing racial scripts, which required you to make like eight copies of any given item. When you picked up an item in the game, the script would replace it with one appropriate for your character's race. I didn't like that solution, but a lot of other people ended up using it for clothing and armor, because there was no other choice. Eventually, when I was messing around with different models in 3D Studio Max, I realized that you could create a single NIF file (Morrowind's 3D model format), and have multiple models within that file. That's not how the original character modeler did it, but that would be the correct way to do it using the engine they had. (Later I found out that the character modeler was the wife of one of their top developers.
She wasn't very good at her job, but she was very nice and everyone at Bethesda liked her. Eh.) Anyway, from there, I realized that you could make a body model all in one piece, break it up into the various parts (chest, upper arm, foot, etc.) within 3D Studio Max, and then configure each body part to pull in the correct part of the model. In case you can't tell, this would make it exponentially easier to create a continuous, non-marionette-looking body. I pulled a body model from some 3D model repository, and attached it to a character, then posted it on Bethesda's forums, with the title 'Better body models?'
I hadn't really expected that to turn into a mod, I was just expecting to show other people how it could be done. But the title of the thread stuck as a name. I was kind of fumbling around and was learning as I went, but eventually, I improved a bit on the crappy model I started with. Another modder, Nightstrider, offered to do the skin textures, and she set up a forum on her website (subtlelucidity, I'd be shocked if anyone remembered those forums). There, another modder, Zenorf, showed up and started subtly mocking my efforts to fix the bodies. A whole bunch of the other members got really pissed at him, and I was a bit pissed too, since I didn't want to be wasting my effort if someone else could do this better.
Anyway, we talked, and agreed that there was no sense in duplicating our efforts, so we all moved to the Psychodog Studios forums, and so on. So yeah, that's pretty much how this mod was started. As, for what I've been doing since then, I graduated with an engineering degree in 2006, then worked at a few really boring engineering jobs, until I decided to go back to grad school. There, I got involved in the University of Buffalo's where I got involved with designing medical simulators for training surgeons to use surgical robots. I'm working commercializing that simulator now, at It's cool, because of all the engineers I work with, I'm the only one that has any experience with the artistic side of 3D modeling.
Also, my experience with Better Bodies is how I learned to use 3D Studio Max, which we're now using to model the parts of the surgical robot, as well as human organs, for our simulator. I'm not sure what all questions anyone would want to ask me, but ask away. Since this subreddit is a bit small, I'll check back every few hours for questions, but I'll answer any I get. Certainly for the weekend, anyway.
I'll keep checking back here every so often, though I may not be able to every day if I'm busy. Zenorf and I always gave the same reason: 'It explains a lot.' Seriously, Zenorf didn't like the Bosmer, I guess because there are so many annoying Bosmer NPCs, and we both wanted to leave our own mark on the mod. It didn't really allow for us to do anything really creative, so we wanted to put something funny in it. I had an idea to have a php script on our download page that had a 1 in 20 chance to download a 'special' version of our mod where the player would be randomly attacked by naked orcs with raging hard-ons.
Also, we were going to pull the IP addresses of various forum members we wanted to give a hard time, and have them automatically redirected to the 'special' version. But that ended up being too much work, so we just gave the wood elves small penises. They had to be at the level that they'd be supported in a garment, because we couldn't change their position based on the garment. Ultimately, we put them at a higher, anti-gravity level because we figured most people would interact with clothed characters. This way, modders could make low-cut dresses and shirts that looked right. Edit: This decision sparked a minor controversy on our boards, to the point where a group of people were suggesting we make two versions, one with realistically saggy boobs and one with 'Barbie' boobs.
Ultimately we decided that was a stupid idea and decided to make them based on what would be best for clothing and armor mod makers, since they were the people we had in mind when we made it.
