Kendo 2's Hi-Rez Lip Mask for Female Elves

I'm giving the negelected Mer girls some much needed love. This is a real hi-rez lip mask I made from dimon99's UNP base head texture, but it should work with any body mod. The outer edges are clean and smoothly blend with the face, or at least they do in my game.

To use this:

In your Skyrim data folder go to textures\actors\character\character assets\tintmasks and if you have the texture femaleheadhighelf_lips copy it and make a back up. NOW you can install the mod and if you don't like my lip mask you can delete it and go back to what you were using previously. No harm done.

If you want to use the lip mask for all of the human-like races, just right click the texture, copy/paste and rename it to

femaleheadbreton_lips, femaleheadimperial_lips, femaleheadnord_lips or femaleheadredguard_lips.

UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT: 14 September 2014

After a lot of experimenting and on-line investigating I have discovered that high resolution tint masks are snake oil to the Construction Kit. They don't work as intended since the game mechanics cannot register tint masks larger than 256x256. This is true for ALL player-made tint masks, not just mine. High resolution masks work fine in the game (they won't break anything) but they are useless for making NPCs or other face tinting work in the CK.

I will be retrofitting the mask in this upload and some additional ones I have made for all of the human/elf races and uploading them on a separate mod page. I will include two resolutions for each mask; one for the game and one for the CK. That way there will be a consistency in shapes.

Perfect! This is so much better than the one I had previously! Thanks!

 

Edit - OK. I've now replaced all my lip tintmasks with this. I know it seems like a small thing - but it truly made a huge difference for me, especially with the new Zonzai texture set! Love!

Hello Kendo..

I installed this mod and it is a nice touch. Thanks.

 

Are those faces in the examples custom?

 

I am not too big on changing faces out and such. I usually ( currently ) accept what was given to me minus the ocassional fix texture etc. However Besthesta really made those dark elf females into ugly SOB's. ( the males are any better looking either ) Something seriously messed up around those eyes.

[Kendo 2]

Glad you like the new lips.

 

The faces are 'custom'.  I took files from Etheral Elven Overhaul, Bella's Better Females, and some SG UNP retextures and made my own mod.  I didn't use ECE or Race menu to tweak the faces.  What you see is what I can get out of files, the CK and vanilla chargen sliders.   The eyes are new.

[DDproductions83]

WHAT!!! Kendo cant mod! This is a scam!

 

Seriously though.. join the dark side.. we got bunbun

[germanicus]

Thanks for the mod. So, just to make sure - the mod doesn't conflict with any other mods such as Race menu?

[Kendo 2]

WHAT!!! Kendo cant mod! This is a scam!

I can mod (I guess).  I like Blender work, but I'm not into making an outfit twice, so I really don't 'mod' Skyrim other than end user tweaks.  Though I have broke out the Paint Book recently and I'm working on new elf eyes.  I already have the palletes done.  14 colors with different transparency values and the templates.  I even made a new mask for the eyelashes based on what eronel55 did for FO3.  OOK.

 

Thanks for the mod. So, just to make sure - the mod doesn't conflict with any other mods such as Race menu?

This mod should work with anything.  It just replaces the lip tint mask with a hi-rez one with more definition.  It won't change the fundamental looks of characters other than more refined lips.

[mojodajojo]

I couldn't find the "a little common sense" download! Halp!

 

Kidding aside, thanks, they look better.

I replaced all the lip masks in my game with this mod.  Once I saw what I made in-game, it was a 'holy-cow-it-works!' moment.  Eventually I get around to making lip masks for all of the human-like races, but for now I focusing on elf girls.

We really could use some more eye textures for elf girls..

 

[Kendo 2]

Yeah, I have 5 additional eye textures done for Altmer, Bosmer and Dunmer.  I'm still waiting on a response from a Nexus modder who is evidently ignoring me.  He's read the PM I had relayed to him.  He didn't respond to it.

[ritualclarity]

You need some permissions? Collaboration..? Anyway. It will be great when this available.

 

I am tired of black, red, yellow variations and don't get me started on the blind eyes... There is all sorts of magic that can even raise the dead and nobody can figure out how to restore an eye.. really... .

[Kendo 2]

The eyes I have done are 'lore friendly' in the sense that they are all in the color spectrum of what the races already have, there are just more options.  Altmer have yellow based eyes with gold, green and blue irises.  Bosmer are brown based with earth tone browns, golds and greens.  Dunmer are red based with red and purple themes.  I also have human-like variations so if people don't like the yellow, brown or red tinged bases they can have the same color iris options on a white base.

 

And I'm waiting on permissions.  I pulled a couple alphas for the lower layers of the eye textures from an existing eye replacer.  The way things are turning out, I wish I hadn't done that.  If this falls through, I'll just convert all the textures I have done to pngs and start over.

[ritualclarity]

That sounds perfect. I like the "lore friendly" color options. Elf should look different however they should have a selection. Which is sorely missed currently.

 

Permissions.. dam they get you every time.. Sorry to hear that and hope it works out for the best in the long run. Whatever that might be. .

 

Certain Nexus members .. cough, cough.. wouldn't be so honorable... ..

 

On a side note.. I just noticed how much your "lucy" elf looks like Lucy Liu.. Was that intended. She even has the freckle as well. )

Put some ears on her and some contacts..

[Kendo 2]

She IS the Dunmer Lucy Liu.  I painted that freckles tint mask from scratch.  In game terms it works as an overlay, like war paint.  So yeah, it was very intentional.

[ritualclarity]

You are the master.. I saw that picture and when I saw the name Lucy on the link I immediately though of Lucy Liu. Even the type and characteristic of the freckles match. The only thing you didn't do is match freckle to freckle.. lol.

 

After that gets released ( hopeful) all we would need is that marshal arts weapon she used in Kill bill. . Hell I guess we can get away with just a katana.

[Kendo 2]

Just a little update:  ritualclarity is testing the first batch of new elf eyes for me.  Once done, I'll probably recycle this mod into an expansion that can be used all or in part.

[ritualclarity]

OOOOHHHH you gona like. You are really gonnnna like... .

That's a great news kendo. Thanks.

[Kendo 2]

I have the low resolution tint masks for eyeliner, eye shadow, eye tint and lips ready for beta testing.  If anyone is interested in testing the files and providing feedback PM me with the subject line 'Tint Masks Testing' and I'll send you the files.

[germanicus]

I wish I can do it and help you out, but I'm in the middle of testing some mods for guns (musketeers) and automatic crossbows.

Dam... I love the eyes I tested already.. I would be all over this testing but my gaming computer just died or dying and I have been running test on memory and such most of this week. Then some last minute outside projects around the house getting ready for winter.. Dam..

 

I can't test it at least not right now. Maybe sometime later this week or beginning of next week. 

 

For everyone.. Kendo has outdone himself on the eye tints I know because I have been using them ( beta) and they really look good. Gives more soul to your character ( female only.. ) If you can test I strongly advise you to do so.

[Kendo 2]

The new tint masks for eye liner, upper and lower eyelids, and cheeks are done.  I have one more lip mask to make and I'll be finished.  This is what NPCs made to the vanilla standard look like with the new masks:
