# SR1 Creator: rebuilding the Saints Row character creator

> SR1 Creator recreates the Saints Row (2006) character creator in a browser using meshes, morph targets, textures and tables read from the user's Saints Reborn folder. JavaScript readers handle VPP packfiles, PEG textures, character meshes and morphs; the author reports comparing geometry and camera behavior with the running game. A photo-fitting view estimates face sliders from landmarks.
