[Status] Nosing around

If it's not obvious: working on nose sculpts now.

The nose region is comprised of like...5 different bones, a couple of them left/right. So there's a fair amount of customization to be had.

At least one pair of those bones is actually underneath the eyes, if I recall right, and is slightly modified by both the Upper Jowls and whichever nose sculpt. Should prove as interesting to play around with.

Afterwards, or maybe during if I get particularly bored while doing the above, I'll throw together some mouth sculpts and assign them temporary IDs. There's 8 bones there - two each of corners, top outer, bottom outer, and center, each of which will have its own sculpt for making expressions with :)

[Status] Still alive

Dunno if anyone actually reads this thing, but might as well write something in case they do. I haven't felt much like working on FO4 stuff for more than a month, for various reasons, but I'm going to make an effort to get back into it. Extended stuff in the next update: Upper Nasolabial (moved by the Upper Jowls vanilla sculpt) Jaw - Outer Jaw - Inner Face - Lower Separate left/right for the eye sculpts, possible for the eyelid morphs too (need to make sure it's possible) Possibly more, but I think that would be a fair-sized update. Upper Nasolabial sculpt is done (just need to make sure I got one of the rotations mirrored), the rest should go reasonably quickly once I get on them. Update 0.6 coming soon to a game near you, probably.

[Release] 0.5 is up

No more Beta? No more Beta. Patch notes: - Changed to using an NMM installer, no more juggling multiple files - Split the mod into two versions; one with single-side sculpts, one without - Rearranged the Mouth sculpts a bit, grouping the tops and bottoms together, as having them separate was driving me up the wall - Added separate Fine and Y/Z scales for the Forehead - Added a full set of sculpts for the Cheekbones, Chin, Adam's Apple, Upper Neck Sides and Lower Neck Sides - Rewrote some of the main file description - Probably something else I'm forgetting, find it and win a prize

[Curiosity/Technical TL;DR] A note on selecting sculpts using the mouse.

I'm sure anyone who's used EFS has noticed that when mousing over the face, the sculpt list will freak out and generally zoom down to the last sculpt that moves whatever is under the mouse. Generally this is the single-side sculpt for that. The criteria seems to be: Is there 1 or more sculpts that ONLY use this bone? If yes, go to the LAST one parsed that fits this condition. If no, Is there 1 or more sculpts that INCLUDE this bone? If yes, go to the LAST one parsed that fits this description. I thought I could trick the selection by putting the single-side sculpts high in the list (so they don't fit the "parsed last" condition), but since the game seems to prefer them regardless, it doesn't make much of a difference. That in mind, I'm probably going to make a shortened version of the sculpt list that excludes the single-sided sculpts, since I get the impression that people don't use them much anyway. The full list will still be available too,
