NWN character portraits for use in IWD2?

[PB]

Hi folks,

Pardon the crosspost, but I'm trying to figure out how to extract (and
convert) the excellent standard character portraits for use in Icewind Dale
2. I see there are already several good conversions on a few IWD2 fan
sites, but not, unfortunately, the particular portraits that I want!

So, does anybody know which file/directory in NWN contains the standard
portraits? What kind of utility would I need to use to do the extraction?

Thanks in advance,
PB

The portrait files are all contained in the textures_02.bif file in
the data/ directory. To extract them, get NWN Viewer
http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/other/data/1026158289673.shtml
Open File>Bif>Neverwinter Nights, select data/textures_02.bif in the
top left pane, then scroll the lower left pane down until you see
files beginning with po_. Click the _h versions of the files to view
the huge portrait in the right pane, then select all the files in the
sets you want (_h, _l, _m, _s and _t versions, SHIFT-click and
CTRL-click work as in other Windows programs), right-click and choose
"Extract file(s) to" and there you have them.
