Hey!
At the time I s making my main I didnt know that norn look better in most of the the armors but draconic and few others. Now that I know that and transformation kits are in game I am thinking if I can make human similar to norn. I know that he will be smaller, but if i make my human with broadest shoulders, will that be noticable when I wear armor. Temple shoulders really looks much better on norn than on human/ skinny characters.

The bulkiest human model might end up looking slightly smaller than the smallest norn model. You could try, though. I know a guy that made his norn the smallest model possible and he's still taller and broader than most humans.

One thing's for certain, don't expect the armors to react too differently on a bulkier human model. Armor looks different/bigger on norn because they're anatomy is a little different.

If you look at:

you can see these two examples:


Personally, I feel that going for extremes on any race just ends up looking weird. So if you want a big guy, then it's probably better to go with a medium sized norn over a huge human. Same way with a medium sized human over a tiny norn.
Extremes only make sense as comical relief.

from the back rear small norn could resemble of a big human. it's possible (when you try them at jumping puzzles they almost feel the same) but as for the looks they're quite different

Awesome size chart! I didn't realise how much difference there actually was. That said, it also looks like a line-up of the ugliest characters possible

I made my human male the largest and most muscular and he is he size of my short Norn women.  The armors look excellent on him and my big Asura is so cute.  She may be big but so very cute, not creepy at all.

Not just the big ones ...

By the way: if you make a small Norn it looks a bit funny because they still have the run animation of a large character. It's not really looking all that great (in my opinion ofc).

. . . no, but you can make a Norn look like a Norn

You obviously don't get what this thread was about. The TP didn't want to create a new character, just remodel his current one.

Don't think so.

Body shape is pretty different, regardless of how tall you can make a human.

Norns armor are skinned to a different size ratio and proportion.
