Cervids: Deer Races of Skyrim

[Bad Dog]

Okay, got a quick fix up for the above problems.

Think I'll just call her Zelle because, you see, I have a very good imagination.

And a random fawn because why not.

Also, you forgot to change the 1st person hand meshes for the deers so if you don't have horses installed, they are invisible (thank @Raydric for reporting it).

Spoiler

 

The tails also seem to be very bright compared to bodies but I didn't think of taking a pic to show what I mean which is very ironic, I know.

As always, beautiful screenshots . She looks great ❤️. I like this screenshot the most ?.

Lovely girl.

 

Anyone know if there's any reason why the 1st person hand mesh should be different from 3rd person?

higher rez mesh that never happened/was needed?

[Raydric]

I only have the problem that the hands disappear in the first person and the hair that I choose in the racemenu disappears in the game

I think it must be because I need the horse mod (I have re-installed the game and I am missing some mods)

 

[Bad Dog]

of course it is supposed to run without the horse mod. What hair disappears?

My apologies, it was my mistake because I loaded the old deer presets  with horse hair.

I thought then that all the hair disappeared

[Bad Dog]

K, good.

 

There is a funny thing with the hair. On my machine some of the vanilla-based hair has funny shadows in the prison but looks fine once you get outside, so I haven't decided whether I really need to fix it.

 

The problem is: Lots of "double sided" meshes are implemented by duplicating the mesh and flipping the normals on the duplicate. This works better for the lighting, because it can be calculated separately on each side, and apparently is easier on the game engine. However, when I run one of these meshes through blender it gets messed up. I'm guessing that there's some kind of rounding error on the vert positions so faces that should be on the outside of the pair end up on the inside. You'd think, since faces are invisible when seen from the back side, that wouldn't matter, but in fact those faces can look black in game, maybe because the shader thinks they're shadowed. It's fixable in blender with an operator that pushes faces in a mesh in the direction of their normal, which would slide the faces past each other and fix the problem. The two sides wouldn't be exactly on top of each other, but I don't think that would matter.

 

tl;dr The vanilla hair uses this technique and I ran it through blender, so if it looks odd in game let me know and I'll do the work necessary to fix it.

[Bad Dog]

Oh, and the vanilla 1st person hands do use a high-res mesh. Who knew.

[Raydric]

Hi Bad Dog I wanted to report that many eyes disappeared since the update

[Bad Dog]

Grr

But wait, there's more!

Female sheath_p0_1.nif and sheath_p4_1.nif have khajiit texture paths.

 

Anyway, since goats can be bit o a dicks sometimes, I thought I'd put one on them.

Y'all are a bunch of mangy furballs and I don't like you at all.

 

New version up with the above fixes and some more.

 Im sorry Bad Dog if I bother you again.

 Although I have updated it, I still do not have the other types of eyes.

 I only have 5 types of eyes ?

 

EDIT:

Thanks to the help by Kreittis from YA discord support.

It looks like an accident that you turned all male eyes from previous version to female eyes instead of duplicating them.

 

[Bad Dog]

Wut

 

Are you sure? I have a full set of eyes for both sexes. Full set meaning both horse-type and human-type.

 This is strange

 The problem only happens with male deer that have 5 eye colors (horse-type) while females have 36 colors

 I have the horses mod too and there is no problem, male horses have 34 eye colors

The 1.2 plugin has 5 records for males and full royal flush of 34 for females, male eyes being the horse eyes carried over from horse race.

 

So either you accidentally uploaded wrong plugin or there's something baked in your save and you get all eyes since as we all know, Skyrim aspires to be the best baker in the world.

[Bad Dog]

Okay, fine. Apparently I forgot to bump the version number after making the fix in my version. Going up as 1.3.

[ASlySpyDuo]

Neat-o, here's a creepy doe to commemorate that.

Here's a dumb ad for a minor thing I did.

 

Adds eyes that glow for both sexes. Yes, that's it.
Heavily inspired by Doe of Deadwood (http://doeofdeadwood.thecomicseries.com/comics/first/), though I didn't go for the tiny pupil aside from the demonic ones.

 

This is for Legendary Edition! Feel free to try and convert it to SE with Cathedral Assets Optimizer or similar though.
 

Load after BD Deer Race obviously.

Glowing Eyes for BD Deer Race.7z

 

Credits to Bad Dog for the eye meshes and nevenbridge81 for Natural Eyes which I used as base.

 

 

Uncropped pics in case someone wants to oogle at them or something:

[Zs4mm]

Does this add NPCS?

 

[Bad Dog]

Haven't done NPCs yet.

[ShadowManGray]

Lion, Tigers, Birds, Horse, Deer, Otter, Bull...

 

What's next? Bear? Rat? Cheetah? Possum? Frog? Skunk? Giraffe?
 

I'm quite curious what animal will arise next.
