Crown atop Helm

Post » Wed Jun 20, 2012 11:56 pm

I've had a picture for a while now of what I hope my PC Skyrim's character will eventually come to look like, a sort of Dragonborn version of http://www.acertaincinema.com/workspace/media/olivier-henry-v_opt.jpg, except wearing ornate dragonbone armour instead of conventional medieval armour. It'll still be in the same spirit as the Olivier armour, only be dragon themed. Thing is, I hate that silly lady's "tiara" style crown that comes with the vanilla game. I also don't fancy having the other daedric style "http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=12535" that I've seen on Nexus. I thought about it but it's just not going to be in my character's style to wear such an aggressive crown like helm (I doubt it would go with the mask either). I'd much prefer the classic medieval king's crown, again, like Olivier's but beefed up to look much more swish and high fantasy like. He also wore his into battle atop his helm. Now, I've got two questions.

1. Is it possible to design new styles of crown, especially more conventional medieval king's crowns using the CK?

2. I was hoping to wear mine into battle as a separate detachable item atop the Konahrik dragon mask. So is it possible to modify a crown so you can wear it with a helm or mask?

1. Nope.
2. Yes.

For the first thing, you're going to need to familiarize yourself with a 3rd party 3d editing software. I can't help you there, I've been putting off learning that crud until the last possible moment.

The second thing I'm pretty sure is doable, but I don't know how. Once again you will require 3rd party software.

As for making it a part of the mask, I could help you there, but I think you've got some major obstacles inbetween.

Yes, it seems making a more low key dragonbone themed crown is going to be a major problem then, and that’s before I even get round to attaching it to the mask. I’m intending to also use some heavy duty enchanting on the crown as well (if I can somehow get it made), but that should be exactly the same easy process as enchanting the “tiara”.

Making a crown wearable over a helmet is simple. Just set the crowns equip slot to something else so it wont replace the helmet.

The issue here, however, is clipping of the crown and helmet. This is where you would need a 3D editor to make the crown fit, but even that it would be fitted for that one helmet.

Hmm, I was at first thinking that that wouldn't be a problem because I only intend to wear it with the mask and no other helm. However, I then remembered that I would also like to wear it without the mask with my face showing for when I'm not in the field. I guess that could prove a problem?
