sexboundpov How do I make custom PoV Scenes?

[KinkyMoose]

Hello, so to keep it short my question is just like in the title: How do I maek custom scenes for PoV Redux mod for Sexbound?

I know there is the more poses mod, but i can do some pixel arts and i wanted to make scenes for some animations that dont have ones, like the blowjob and so on. 
I mostly want to make them for personal use and dont intend to post them. (Might post some screenshots if it works out),

I looked into the files of the MorePoses mod and Teratophilia Pov mod to try and figure it out myself, it seems easy to change the animations by simply replacing the png files, but how do i make new ones for the scenes that dont exist in the files? Looking into the .lua file in the scripts didnt help either.

You just kinda put new ones in the places where the normal ones would be on the normal animation sheet.

Currently thinking about doing the same, but go on...

Example:

Spoiler

 

See how both files have the same amount of rows and columns? It's because the share the same data that defines what each frame is. So if you wanted to add Fellatio to the PoV files, you would add images in that row. (7th row from top to bottom)

This is only more complicated when working with the recycled poses (Face-sitting, reverse-cowgirl) as i don't think they're setup yet in the mod, as per what other users mentioned in the PoV Redux thread. I'm currently working on some updates to the code AND updates to the assets, so i'll be dropping some new images to use as guides along with new support so these positions can work, but for now, feel free to do whatever you want really. I'm around to ask for help implementing these changes.

Wow, thank u for the quick response. Right now im trying to find te Floran clues for the quest (i didnt expect such a quick response) but i justm ight trying to figure it out soon. I will take another look at it. Oh, also thank you for those great mods ❤️

so yeh, i was thinking and in the end i am going to make it more like a 3rd person rather than a pov scene... i know its not perfect but i think it will be more enjoyable as a side view.... u can always think about it as a pov from a player perspective, not a character perspective? 

[KinkyMoose]

This is where i am right now. I will play with the "saliva" and add some movement and shadows to the male pose, that should add some more life to this.
I'm not great at animation tho, so it will take some time.

I'm also testing on floran cause thats my character and its easier this way :Y

showing the head of your character, that would be a tedious path of including all of the hairs even with modded ones too.

To begin with. I dont think u can add hair variations to the pov mod as far as i know. That's why this is more of a pesronal project. Its also some way to improve my weak animation skill. I dont intend to post the addon to the mod in the first place. IT would need to be in the basen mod cause if i just added new PNG file with my poses and not the orginalny ones then the files would conflict. IT could be possibile if every pose hand seperate PNG file for its animation. I guess for the hair u would need a seperate PNG file for every hair as a overlay. Similar to the way pregnant overlay works.

Maybe making the head bald would be better? if you wish to do every hair then exceptionally good for you and all the starbound adult modding community, but is a massive job.

[red3dred]

Adding another layer by itself for hair isn't that hard, and the data's already flowing inside the API, the obvious problem is just "Who wants to work on ~30 to 50 hairs per race, for one PoV?". Modded hairs make this even worse, but yeah, don't worry about it. My idea was simply to censor the elements of a character that aren't fixed (EG: All florans have the same face/mouth structure, same eyes/eye color, etc.) and use black-bars or large pixels to "Pretend" the rest of the information is there.

There isn't a really elegant solution here, whatever you do, enjoy yourself! And good luck!

Thank you, its nice to hear that something is going on in this community. I will propably work on this more over time. Just don't expect much.
Thank you everyone for help and for partaking in this conversation.
