Bad Dog's Birds

I really don't understand what makes a female head female rather than male. But it's really clear when you get it.

Yes, I see it feminine, I like the shape of the eyes.

I also wanted to ask if you can add orange eyes like this:

 

Its a Livingstone fruit bat

Spoiler

 

[Bad Dog]

Sure, why not.

[Raydric]

I like the default blue eye color too. Why does this type of blue eye look different?

Was it a test?

It looks very cool!

[Bad Dog]

I think that's based on KrittaKitty's Lykaios eyes.

If we're discussing suggestions for the bats here, I do have something to add.

 

I recently came across some interesting bat character models that I thought looked great. So if you could consider making body textures like these or maybe tweaking the head shape or something like that, that'd be nice. Just my two cents, though.

 

Here they are:

Nice. I'll look at it. The jaw morph could be used to generate the side whiskers. Nice face pattern too. I'm thinking to do some special sliders for these races so I don't have to hide face tints in odd places. Doing the body that way would likely require another race or figuring out racemenu's body tints.

I know him, I've seen petruz's work

I remember that I wanted to try Bad dog's birds with batman clothes (for my bat) and nightwing clothes (for a bird)

That's great news, then. Even more hyped about female bats now, lol.

RaceMenu's tints sound like a good idea as long as it's only color/diffuse that needs to be overlaid and no normal/spec edits are required, as in this case (the yellow bit is just a color swap from the base fur). Chances are it would look a bit weird if you use the body overlay without pairing it with the head one, but that would be 100% on the user and I'd certainly love to have that skin available.

 

Kinda wish we had FO4 LooksMenu's custom skin functionality available for Skyrim, though. It allows you to select a completely different SkinNaked from the default racial one and thus use unique body textures if wanted, and it also allows you to select a custom head and/or head texture override so for example you could set up different coat/body texture options for a base race (e.g. different canine breeds with their own skin, tail mesh, head morph, etc. for a single generic "K9" race).

 

(If/when I ever convince you to try and port the YA races to FO4 OR go crazy and try to do it myself, it will certainly come in handy...)

I wasn't actually searching for anything like this when I found it, I was just browsing DeviantArt for XPS character models to shamelessly rip and port huh, replicate in FO4 and their Hammerhead character showed up in one of the collections I was browsing. Unfortunately the style is too cartoony to fit FO4 even if it's just the outfit so that was a dead end (a shame seeing how the fin and tail-compliant clothes would be neat), but when I checked their other stuff and saw the bats, I knew I had to post them here.

Unfortunately the picture is 404'ing for me, guess LL is derping out again. You'll have to try and upload it again when the site goes back to normal or upload it somewhere else and link it (e.g. Imgur, or better yet, Discord like for example Sly does).

Hammerhead  the military combat shark android, with its hammerhead-shaped combat helmet?

Yes i liked it too.

But to be honest  your sharks are more cool for me

I also have a Selachii  character.

Say truth, this is about the only reason I'd ever go back to FO4.

Hi Bad dog I wanted to know if you later want to add hair types.  I would like if you could add mane.  I love them when I see drawings of anthro bats and that they add spiky mane or normal mane hair 

or I also like the hair style that Lykaios women have, that hair style that also adds more hair in their necks.

Spoiler

Although the hair style of the second image on the lower left side is not bad either (the one with feathers in the hair. But this without feathers ?)

[Bad Dog]

Should bats have manes? Hmm. Could have mohawks and such, I suppose. I hadn't thought about stealing some of the hair from YA.

Something like this?

Spoiler

 

I also like them with mohawks

Spoiler

 

I think YA has one of these

Just posted the latest version of Birds, with full support for female bats.

 

Still on the todo list:

• Custom sliders for patterns and shapes
• Better textures for birds (less shiny? better face patterns? more sliders for face patterns?)
• Automatic wings are flying for PC, animated for not PC
• Digi script efficiency 
• Hair for bats (& gryphons)--steal a bunch from YA
• "Animated" wings for bat NPCs
• CBBE file
• NPC addon

I hate to tell you this but the archive you uploaded is either corrupted or LL is having problems with uploads again.

Can confirm, the file does actually download without 404'ing but it cannot be opened, seems like it may be corrupt indeed.

[Guest]

I've got the same problem

[Raydric]

[Blaze69]

@Bad Dog, don't know if you noticed or are working on it already, but the download for the latest version of the mod is still broken. I'd say you would have to reupload the file, or maybe even repack it depending on whether the corruption happened during the packing or the uploading.

Hopefully the CBBE files will be available soon

[Blaze69]

@Bad Dog did you reupload the file for the latest version? If so, it's still broken.

 

The size is weird too; current archive is 40 MB when the previous version was around 200 MB. I get the feeling the compression process got interrupted and that's why the file is corrupted. I guess you'll have to pack the assets again and upload the new file instead.

[Guest]

If you reuploaded just an hour ago, the file's still broken

[Bad Dog]

I've got wonky internet here and the upload to LL doesn't appear to be working. Try the mirror site: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cbpGwNTRv36wW2a_swzVvBpR8V7007oO

 

There's a CBBE patch too: https://drive.google.com/open?id=12ZsEmp2bZ794nwQDr9MjKe3z1Wc6Uita

[ASlySpyDuo]

First try at female bats.

 

The ENB here probably (definitely) didn't help but this is supposed to be black.

 

The feet for females are kinda messed up though:

Spoiler

Still in beta, I know, but figured I'd report what I find. ?

[Bad Dog]

Oops. I'll figure that out. Please do report problems.
