Tutorial shows several extractions
but in blender only Suvi is made.

This tutorial does not show how to
edit the textures.

Silent Video. As I have problem with my voice at the moment.
Turn Captions on for further tips

This tutorial will show you how to export the headmorphs from MEA using the MEAExplorer tool, how to extract meshes and textures as well. Then convert the DDS textures using Noesis. And finally using the headmorphs to create the characters head for other programs in Blender.

Render groups for XPS:
24_head_1_0_0_0
24_eyes_1_0_0_0
24_mouth_1_0_0_0
diffuse
lightmap
normal/bump map
specular map

7_lashes_1_0_0_0
diffuse with transparency

hair can either be render group 7 or 25 for 7 follow the above.
25_hair_1_0_0_0
diffuse with transparency
lightmap
normal/bump map
specular map

Real big thanks to everyone who worked on the tools below. Without you this wouldn't be possible. Also real big thanks to WarrantyVoider for the tool and ghenson who without their work on the Morph and Mesh plugins this wouldn't be possible.

Tools;
github.com/gabbyh/MEAExplorerW… - MEAExplorer
gamebanana.com/tools/5638 - Ninja Ripper
www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments… - Noesis but requires update
For extracting to XPS you will also need this tool; Blender 2.74+ XPS tools 1.6.1

Other useful tools;
github.com/GalaxyEham/FrostyTo… - Frosty Tool sometimes better for texture extraction.
