Possible to change Main Character or NPC model?

[Squilla]

I was thinking of a Skaen related run and with the addition of the effigy doll and the 'The Effigy' model baked into the game - is there a way to mod the model of an existing companion or MC to change the look to The Effigy?

No

 

Well, actually, that's not true

 

Some of my friends have done models - not got a clue myself, they just told me they did it and I believe them

 

All I can be sure of is that it's damned hard

 

Everything in POE2 is a Unity model and they ain't easy to extract, change, repack

I'd love someone to prove me wrong

Thanks for the info - figured it was tough to edit else we would see more mods with them included.

I've put a req into out largely disbanded Slack for advice

 

Sure someone was making headway on this (don't quote me)

 

It's easy enough to extract (most) things - the hassle is getting it registered to the system

 

Theoretically you could Mod a prefab then mod it's call in exported/design/creatures.gamedatabundle, i.e. change some bear into a T-Rex.

 

Sadly OBS don't give us the tools to do this

 

Flat graphics are easy (we moaned them silly over these)

 

So, for example, https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/286

 

You can also do icons with ease - check out TT1's Uniques for a demo - try the parrot...
