Guys never get into BG3 modding worst mistake of my life.
Ahem. I had the wonderful idea to try and make my characters appear a bit closer to how I actually see them in my head (and my art). There were limitations as to how far I could go, but I think my efforts paid off. They all certainly look a lot more accurate now.
I have in total made :
-3 heads (+1 Ta'rath's I had already made in the past tweaked slightly)
-4 custom rigs (only 3 applied, Ta'rath Joufos and Oulmat, but I did make Zilkon's, it just was causing issues. I have since figured it out I think but I'm far too lazy to rebundle everything)
-4 face textures edits (1 full face bundle for Oulmat so that was 3 different textures, 1 normal map edit for Zilkon)
-2 eye colors (Oulmat and Ta'rath. Ta'rath's difference might appear very subtle unless very close but now the secondary color is amber and not another shade of pink)
-1 hair color (Oulmat)
-1 skintone (Oulmat)
-1 new piercing set coded (Joufos)
-4 Custom icons for in game head selection (Toolkit was extremely uncooperative)
-VFX head patching (technically it's via a tool, but it did cost me a few braincells)
I think that about covers it?
Side by side comparisons Before VS After I made some of my own assets. More angles included below the cut.
Side Note : Deep gnome enjoyers I understand the frustrations but there are lore reasons why these guys have the hair they do. They're part Rock Gnome. Oulmat got her hair lightened by pact reasons. Joufos is trans and a pink draconic fellow. Zilkon eventually becomes bald in his storyline and has a crisis over it because it affirmed his uniqueness once. I swear, I know.

Joufos
Zilkon
Ta'rath
Objectively, Oulmat was the most work in terms of how many new assets I had to provide/things I had to code, but, Joufos drove me up the fucking wall so he wins the "I love you but fuck you" award. His animations are technically still broken, as he won't fully close his eyes, but honestly that's pussy shit compared to trying to keep his piercings on his face and his mouth closed so idfc. It's subtle enough of a problem. Shoutout to the Down By The River server and Jerinski/Padme4000 for helping me out with his floating piercing issues.
