A Skyrim player has managed to create a hyper-realisti🤪c version of herself with the game's character creation tools.

Everꦍyone likes trying to recreate themselves in a game, but Reddit user AureliaRiddle has taken it to another level by making an almost like-for-like iter🦩ation.

It took her two hours to💫 create her avatar and she did so using mods that gave her more sliders to control, which hel𒐪ped her improve the skin texture and make the eyes look more realistic.

She said the first step to creating a realistic avatar was to take two photos of yourself: a profile and a portrait picture. The face must be as expressionless as when you take a passport photo, after this, you have to choose which side to focus on. Customꦛization is symmetrical, and our faces aren’t, so preferably choose your best side and recreate that. After folding the photo in half, hold it up to the screen and begin working, you know you’re close when “

In 🧸addition to doin💯g her own Skyrim character, she also did her dad’s character and the avatar is equally as impressive.

Her photo idea isn’t actually a new concept, as it's been implemented in games like EA Sports titles. Players could upload a photo, placing markers where the nose, eyes, and mouth were, and then wait 10 minutes for it to process. If you weren’t happy with the result you could fine-tune the avatar, but the system was very gꦐood at rendering a clunky look alike on the PS3.
