To begin I want to say that this process is not for the faint of heart. Creating a creature from scratch probably takes 2-3 times as long as simply rerigging a creature to a vanilla skeleton and retexturing it. However, with that approach you don't have any control over how the creature moves, and it obviously limits creature shape. What if you want a creature with four arms or two heads? Or something that rolls around on the floor? There's simply nothing comparable | To begin I want to say that this process is not for the faint of heart.

Or something that rolls around on the floor? There's simply nothing comparable to total control. And actually making a creature from scratch is very rewarding in my experience. It also brings us one step closer to Bethesda's quality of creatures. | ||
