What are these files?
This page contains a collection of files that are either necessary or simply convenient to have available for NPV projects. You will not need all of the files for any given project or workflow, so be sure to let the contents of your project and your preferred programs guide your downloads.
There are also links to additional resources that may be useful for your NPV project.

Vanilla Source/Template .Mesh Files
These are the vanilla/default game .mesh files.1 You may use them as the source/template .mesh files when importing your shaped head parts with either Noesis or WolvenKit. They are included here mostly as a convenience, though those opting to otherwise acquire their own source/template .mesh files will need to be sure to account for the newly separate eyelash component.2
1: A "new" eyelash .mesh file has also been included; 2: For the Noesis workflow, you may simply use the eye .mesh file as the source .mesh for the eyelashes as well. For the WolvenKit workflow, duplicate the eye .mesh and rename it to hel_000_pwa_c__basehead.mesh or hel_000_pma_c__basehead.mesh as is appropriate.
