WISPMOTHER

This is a Wispmother skin and cloth texture overhaul. Her texture has a different size respect the main standard, the skin was 512x1024 and the cloth/veil was 128x4096 by default. These are just textures files, they do not take any slot in your load order.

For reference, this is the folder I worked:

textures\actors\wisp (whole, four files)

I do like the Wispmother. I mean, I like her, not as a character, but about the aesthetics, her face. I appreciate her beauty more than a lot of beautiful female characters in the game. She doesn't have hair, eyelashes, almost no eyebrows, and still beautiful to me. This creature isn't even scary, she isn't bad either if not attacked and appears little in the game. By looking at her I noticed different things could and should worth to be adjusted. She was completely full of seams. It's a shame she was left that way. She has bad/wrong textures, very few animations. So I tried to patch her skin at least, make a better cloth and give her more detailed textures.

Indeed, her skin looked like a dress sewn, some seams were less noticeable due to the light mist effect she have all around and due to the animated cloth. But she looked like a rag doll really. Doing a deeper research to check which was the problem I discovered that the main error in the vanilla files was that the skin in the diffuse and the normal textures were limited to the very minimum millimeter distance of the UV map. The joint parts were very evident, but slight badly hidden by a third extended white diffuse map she uses, the white.dds file. I had to extend all her skin edges by painting them; haven't been quite easy to find and apply what I thought could be the right solution, staying lore. I adjusted almost everything, gave her a more realistic skin, eyes, hands, fingernails, lips, ear, and a missed navel, but there still a (less visible now) seams in the shoulder, but that one isn't even a texture problem, it's due to the too angled mesh and its bad connection in the junction point, as sometime it is very evident and others almost unnoticeable.

I've edited the cloth deeply as well, by taking a single very big "poetic license" this time (but leaving other options). That's because I wanted to make the cloth more transparent like a veil, but trying the ways it should be done by the textures I noticed the break point between visible/invisible hadn't really middle measures due to some meshes setting I suppose. So, it had to be done by intervening on the meshes once again, but the cloth meshes reside within the same skin file that I didn't want to include. So, I made it resemble like a transparent veil by making a sort of mesh fabric texture. I sawed its mask with a 4 pixel "crochet", to adjust it to my purpose. T[si
