Soranort

1. 1 UPDATE:

Recreated the mod using a different method to change hair and eye color. Physics now work properly. Huge thanks to YuriLewd on the OpenKH discord for discovering this method and helping me learn how to do it. Remove the old .pak file from your ~mods folder before adding the new version.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod swaps Sora's materials with others so that it gives him the appearance of being possessed by Xehanort. It comes in two versions: Caramel and Vanilla. The only difference between these two versions is the skin color. I did the two versions as we have seen examples of Xehanort's possession both giving a tan and and leaving the skin tone unchanged (Terranort's appearance in Birth By Sleep vs KH3). So pick whichever one you like more/fits your headcannon.

Right now this mod only changes base KH3 Sora's appearance as it is a WIP. His appearance is unchanged in worlds where he has a different look. I intend to either update the other appearances or just have the base Kh3 model used in their place in the future.

Thank you to everyone in the OpenKH discord for their assistance. In particular Jayster for helping with textures and Somnus for troubleshooting.

The gazing eye keyblade from the images is not included in this mod. It is found here: https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomhearts3/mods/177

I did this using a custom mesh as that is the way I know how to do it currently,  this results in Sora's hair and jacket physics not working as physics have not been figured out yet. The workaround for this was to manually weight the jacket so the jacket doesn't clip and stick out straight whenever Sora isn't standing straight. This does result in some clipping, EX: when Sora is his battle pose around the mid center of his chest, but it's not too bad and it was my first time ever manually setting weights for a model.

Compatibility Issues:

-Any mod that changes Sora's top will conflict with this mod when using the caramel version. The game will load fine but you'll either get the skin not matching the head/neck or the top will not change. This is due to Sora's arms/hands/legs sharing a texture with the top.
