    CameraOffsets = {
        face = { offset = vector3(0.0, 0.6, 0.65), fov = 35.0 },
        chest = { offset = vector3(0.0, 1.2, 0.2), fov = 40.0 },
        legs = { offset = vector3(0.0, 1.5, -0.5), fov = 45.0 },
        feet = { offset = vector3(0.0, 1.0, -0.8), fov = 45.0 },

How It Works

1. Called during character creation flow (from nova_multicharacter or nova_multichar)

2. Player model is set and camera enters creator mode

3. NUI opens with tabs for each customization category

4. Changes are applied in real-time on the player model

5. On confirm, appearance data is saved to the database via nova_core

Dependencies

• nova_core — Player data, skin saving

• oxmysql — Persistence

Notes

• Appearance data is persisted in the database

• Supports both male and female ped models

• Tattoos are organized by body zone (torso, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, head)

• The NUI uses a dark theme consistent with other NOVA scripts
