Unlocked Dragonborn Scale Colors now live

Dragonborn Unlocked Scale Colors at Baldur's Gate 3 Nexus - Mods and community

Unlocked Dragonborn Scale Colors for Baldur's Gate 3 - mod.io

As any sane person would do, I decided to dive straight into dragonborn scale colors this weekend. While working on my own mod, I realized there were some scale colors unavailable to the player in character creation. After searching for a mod that made them available (because surely somebody had already done that right ?) and didn't find anything, I decided to make them available. Here we are now: 13 new presets for dragonborn.

Fair Eye Colors V2 now Live !

Version 2 is now available on Nexus: Poesielibre's Fair Eye Colors at Baldur's Gate 3 Nexus - Mods and community

And now also available on Mod.io: Poesielibre's Fair Eye Color Collection for Baldur's Gate 3 - mod.io

Fair Eye Colors V2

I am finished with redoing the entire Fair Eye Color collection in the toolkit ! I should be able to publish version 2 by the weekend.

Version 2 will go up on Nexus and Mod.io ! I will have this to be evaluated for console as well, crossing fingers it will go through.

Version 2 doubles the amount of colors available and more than doubles options available. Red eye colors have also been added to this version. Each standard eye color is available in 6 variants: White sclera, dark sclera, white sclera glow, dark sclera glow, white sclera bloodshot and white sclera bloodshot glow (all variants are identified by the usual abbreviations introduced by Astralities with the addition of WSB for white Sclera Bloodshot). The original flame glow has been reworked to my satisfaction and now looks good on dragonborns. Extra parameters have also been added to every variant to ensure maximum compatibility with custom races that uses extra colors such as Trip's Whisper of the divine or Archer's Ghastly Ghouls shadow cursed heads.

There are an additional 10 other colors added to the collection, 8 of them full blind variants and 2 full black eye colors.

Psst: you may have heard/read that colors of color mods recreated in the toolkit are not exactly the same. Fear not, I have taken the time and necessary steps to make sure each original color is exactly the same as version 1 !

Horn project

Yes, I started another mod project. I am making horns this time. This is the ''Fancy'' version of this set. It still needs refits, variants and custom materials before this one is done.

Finally, actual progress on the update

It's been difficult to find motivation to work on the update, but I've found a workflow that work for now.

Marine is fully converted and has a custom skeleton for all races. I made some changes to the mesh itself, I couldn't resist making the eyelashes a little thicker, fitting the original idea when I created this head. I've reworked the human ears, so the attachment is better, and I've reworked the facial textures a little bit, making them more inline with my usual facial texture work

The Head Experiment is now live !

Poesielibre's Head Experiment at Baldur's Gate 3 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com)

This is the initial upload, I will follow up with patches probably this weekend and will probably update with custom wrinkle maps and any small fix necessary

[poesielibre]

The clean version of the Head Experiment is done

The scar pack and the horror pack are next. As soon as the last two packs are done they will be published and I will go on a modding break for a few weeks. Firstly because I will be busier than usual and secondly, I've been working on mods pretty much every day for the past four months, after work and on my days off, usually spending around ten hours on my days off on my current projects.

There's only two heads in this mod, one male and one female but the variety will come with mostly textures.

[poesielibre]

There is progress on the horror preset as I've moved on to the textures. I still have some clipping issues and neck seam issues to fix. Once these are fixed, I'll be working on converting to other races and the male version of the preset. The heads will be available separately with either clean or horror textures, having both will be possible. There will also be patches for Unique Tav and Eyes of the Beholder.

I was hoping to have this out by the time patch 7 comes out but I'm not so sure any more.

Pictures of the nasty scars/gore textures are under the cut

[poesielibre]

The base textures are done, and I think it's one of the best I've made yet. Subtle natural redness on the cheeks, light eye bags, quite a few moles and some visible veins in areas where the skin is usually thinner.

New head alert: Vivien

I'm at a point where only working on the update is not fun and sometimes quite frustrating. I am working on a horror preset and as soon as all the kinks have been ironed out, I'll be quite happy. This is the clean version of the female version of the preset. The base textures are not finalized yet and I'm considering either keeping this version for a future pack or maybe add it as an option in the pack.

I will not be posting any progress of the the horror preset in case I upset Tumblr but there will be a link when the mod is up on nexus.

Female Heads are converted

I took some example Tav pictures for the conversions and I will be replacing the pictures on Nexus with new ones with the update. I got some very helpful advice for the conversion of male heads so it might be possible for this update to have all heads converted to tiefling.

[poesielibre]

Updating the first head collection

I have finally made some good progress on the next update of my first head collection. Female heads will all the converted to Tiefling and all heads will have custom skeletons. Male heads will require a more hands on approach for teifling conversion and may only come in the next update.

Both Solange variants have succefully been converted and I am considering converting Iseult to other races.

Eyes of the Beholder and Unique Tav patches will be completely redone to be actual patches like I did for the Githyanki Trio, it will be lighter and also easier to maintain.

Improved Pale Eye Colors and Fair Eye Colors now live !

The presets are now live:

The Pale Eye Colors are also live: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/11253

The preset page has 28 options to choose from ! Most vanilla eyes and some of my own presets are available in the optional files.

Dragonborn eyes are not included because I can't get the glow to act the same way as the vanilla version. Once I've got that figured out, I'll add the glow and non glow optional file.

I've also made a videotutorial/demonstration for those who want to make their own version or integrate the idea into their own presets !

The eye color collection has 15 colors to start, I've covered my bases by making the general eye colors used for cc and made a glow variant for each of them.

[poesielibre]

Two new mods coming soon

I have been working a new preset in the past few days that should bring about 28-30 options !!! it will have a color collection companion mod for the best experience. It a simple preset with a simple concept:

Making pale eye colors show up better and lower thresold of paler eye colors showing up as grey when making eye color presets. This preset affects all eye colors and regular colors will be brighter as a resuslt of using the preset.

Update on the Tail Gear Mod

Thanks to getting a lot of help and correction on my code (because I'm not good at coding and barely know what I am doing), the first Tail Gear now works in game! Since we cannot create new equipment slots, this is taking the cloak slot which often clips into the tail anyway.

This means there is now a working template for future gear and armor. Some of the up coming gear will be actual armor with stats but there will some more flavorful/themed tail gear as well

[poesielibre]

Work in progress mod

I've been wanting to do tail armor for a while and took the plunge to get started last week. I've never made equipment before and every step of the process has been a challenge. I made it the second last step and will be coding the Adventurer Tail Gear tomorrow and hopefully get it to work in the next few days.

I finally finished my Celtic Myths shawl today. This was an ambitious project when I first started it over a year ago. Then I discovered I was twisting my purls and restarted again. I finally made it to the cabled border and after quite a few weeks of work and breaks later it is done ! I made it with super wash wool and it did grew quite a bit. The final measurements are 136cm by 56cm making it a decent sized shawl.
