Hah, looks just like him, how are you doing this?

To start with, I google and choose a celebrity that I can find a nice frontal and side photo of, then I put those two shots into SI Facegen by choosing Photo Fit...here I created one of Halle Berry:


But notice the hair bangs would mess up the project unless I cloned them out with Photoshop or in my case, a cheap $50 old piece of software called Microsoft Picture It 2000.

Back to Keanu Reeves:
I export the Keanu face I've created in Facegen,


then turn the face photo into a DDS file with DDS Converter. Then I rename the file headhuman.dds and place it into program files/bethesda softworks/oblivion/data/textures/characters/keanu file,which I made from a copy of the imperial file which was already there. Next I go into Construction Set and click on file/data and check the Oblivion.esm option and click OK. Next I choose character, then race and in Keanu's case I right clicked on Breton to make a duplicate race for him so all of my other Bretons won't look like him. If you do all of this you will see a Duplicate race created right below the origional Breton race; click on that, then the face data tab. Click on the right head option then point your duplicate race where to get the new face from by sending it to Program files/bethesda softworks/oblivion/data/textures/characters/keanu file like I first described. Save all and you should create and name an .esp file as you do this, before getting out of Construction set. Start your game but click on the Data Files option and activate that .esp file before actually beginning the game. start a new game and choose Breton race but click to the right or left of your Breton race and there will be a duplicate race with the same name; Breton. Your characters face will change to the one with the features of the person/celebrity you created, but the shaping and shading will be left up to you to finish the job to make the face just right. That's it in a nutshell. Ohn and the SI Facegen software costs about $300 US dollars. Big bucks but if you are good a making characters it's big fun.

There may be cheaper ways of doing this, say if Photoshop has a plugin for doing what SI Facegen does, but I don't have Photoshop yet. DDS Converter software is free.
