Thanks! Yeah, I'm changing each race's face to reflect their demeanor more specifically (Nords are strong and serious, Imperials are diplomatic and forward-thinking, etc) and B.J. definitely embodies the warrior badass archetype!
Yes, although first I will release a normal map pack for each race. You may already know this but all males share the same diffuse and different normals (depending on the race). What I'm working on is an overhaul of the 3d or pseudo-3d aspects of Skyrim. Every texture will work with my packs and they will get the benefit of a much more detailed and originally sculpted nm. Even vanilla benefits tremendously as horrendous as the textures are. So here's the plan: First I will work on all races, secondly I plan to re-sculpt all hairs (which won't need esp's or facegen data as it will be a straight mesh replacement). Thirdly I'll work on textures for faces as well as hairs. The way I'm approaching this is I wanna tackle the most most outdated parts first and I also want people to be able to use their favorite texture replacers :)
Sounds really cool. I hoped for so long somebody would actually do something like this. It always botherd me that that all the bodies of the different races where same. Would be really cool to have muscular orcs and rougher looking Nords. The hair sounds cool as well but will the mesh replacement be player only? Since you would need to regenerate the face gens for NPCs so that they have the new hair as well.

p.s. kinda reminds me of Blazkowicz
