Manthra...? Mith.. Ma... mmm.. maaan..?

[jeizhu]

Sorry, a bit new here - I've been checking out the mod scene and rummaging over placed like XOOP - where I tripped across a male Mithra face. Soooo, that's got me inspired now.

I've got some experience making mods for Oblivion - so I'm sure it can't be -too- terrible difficult to mod FFXI. However, I'm wondering what the best route would be to take in order to make a full Male Mithra.

My first idea was to just find a way to slap the head on a Male Hume body - make a Hume and go for it. However, supposing I wanted the classic Mithra stats and such - if I wanted to use the Mithra Race, I'm assuming I'd have to edit the mesh for every armor my character wore - in order to make them... er... manly.

Any suggestions? Or has someone already tackled such a project?

my suggestion, focus that energy into a letter writing campaign to SE.

Well, apart from the fact that "male mithra's" are completely irrelevant to me.. Starting stats of each race doesn't matter that much. The available equipment nowadays will compensate most (if not all) of the difference. Humes are nicely balanced.

Unfortunately you would have to slap on the face onto a male character T_T I made this old man mithra as a joke, and I had to flatten his breast...just think about it, it would be impossible to make every armor flat....I mean you could....but then you would have a bunch of flat chested female mithras running around.
Here ya go :D So you can either laugh or barf X3

I saw a better manthra model around SOMEWHERE but I can not for the life of me remember where.



On a side note, if I dream about that thing coming out of the darkness to eat my face, I'm going to sue.

Not like Mithra's have big chests anyway other then pr0n. Am I right? Yes, I am.

[Van'derfel]

but then they would all look like guys if your not right in their face and that would seem kind of wierd to me

A bigger obstacle to this is movements, not armor.

Mithras are made to look feminine. Which means their movement will be feminine.

I saw a better manthra model around SOMEWHERE but I can not for the life of me remember where.I did as well. It was actually really well done (I think it used mostly the hume male body shape and movements).

Yeah, I remember wanting to download it but not knowing how to install at the time. Now if I saw it I'd probably be all over...

I hope that's the one.

EDIT: This was in the Hume Category by the way.
