Halloween Challenge: Over at Last? Maybe not...

[bearded]

I had an idea too late, but I'm going to work on it anyway. Will post here soon.

Please do! A little late Halloween is better than no Halloween at all.

Here is my idea. The character is Ben Cooper, aka, the Masked Man. He has a halloween bag full of 70's style masks and when he puts one on, he gets some of the powers of the mask's identity.
I am doing this by customizing male_suit to have a bag and a few new animations, and creating new fx of the different masks combined with various other fx, like the batarang. Here's an example pic of an fx:



Because I did not put an end note on the fx nif, the mask stays on until he puts on a new one, i.e. uses a different power. The other idea I had was mask ffx custom. make the masks actual objects with limited power uses.
The problem I am having is the fx doesn't match the head bone perfectly, it doesn't bob correctly, it seems more attached to the neck bone. I am thinking of maybe attaching the weapon node to the head and attaching the fx to that.
If anyone can find some good clear pics of the Ben Cooper masks to use as skins, that would be great. I have only found six.
