If it helps, it's possible you can do this with companions to an extent. You can put them in any outfits you want and I'm assuming you can place them in your homes. Two little dress up dolls. I didn't fully test any outfit limitations on the PTS so I may be wrong on some of the details.
I also just thought had an after thought, but weapon racks too to decorate with known motifs. Every player wants to decorate their house with armor and weapons. It'll give us some of that familiar traditional Elder Scrolls feel. The companions are cool but it's not the same thing.
But this is a marketing idea for crafters and I'd like to see it implemented into the game somehow. Truly not picky on how just please add mannequins, weapon racks, and display cases decorated with known motifs.
Even if they do implement it, I do not see this working like you all wish for.
The 3D models of all outfit motifs are quite intricate. Meaning complex, meaning a lot of meshes even for a static object.
So i conclude, that if Mannequins are happening, they will be either a collectible furnishing at best or, much more likely, a special furnishing.
I don't want to put stuff on the mannequin, instead have it pre decorated and place it somewhere. I'm thinking 4 mannequins total with each motif style. Two with light armor, one robed and the other with a jerkin, a medium armored mannequin and a heavy armored mannequin. Again this idea is to show off our wares so we don't have to keep listing what we can do. Just want to have people window shop for styles they want crafted for them. Takes care of the rendering issues some right there.
I also like Vhale's idea of being able to craft them too so we can place more of them in a house instead of it being a special furnishing and only able to place like 10. Won't be many issues if the mannequins, weapon racks, and display cases were all pre built and all we got to do is place them and no need to bother with the mix matching and stuff because you can do that on your characters. We just need armor and weapons on display because it's always been a fan favorite and it's something that is missing from the game.
