(ooof I HOPE I haven't forgot to mention anyone or I'd out of shame)
what's fixed:
> smoothened edges of the face, increased poly count (~20% heavier than vanilla mesh) while retaining the original shape; edits her jaw, chin and nose;
> face texture is now unique to her and is not shared with other npcs (previously shared with a bunch of commonfolk)
!for Geralt Doppler users! this means that Keira's head you could load from the menu will use vanilla textures;
> as much as possible, reduced clipping of lashes through the browbone when she frowns
> edited mimicking wrinkles texture, less prominent mouth wrinkles and no artifacts resulting in volumes that should not be there
what's new:
> edited texture set (Ambient, Diffuse, Normal).
She is now looking younger, blondier, with faint freckles so often spotted on natural blondes. I also decided to switch smokey eyes makeup to something more appropriate in my opinion. There is four different variants of the face, and I plan to have them enabled continuously as the world state progresses, but for now, you can choose any you like and have it on Keira at all times. Difference between versions:
- bare face, no makeup, no mascara
- bare face, no makeup, no mascara, gwent card facepaint
- makeup, winged eyeliner, some lip gloss
- makeup + extremely distracting glittery eye shadow I'm so very proud of
> new eye color, unique to Keira, not shared with any other NPC;
> new pretty lashes, that clip less and are much more chic and over the top <3
> haircards for the eyebrows; go thank Jato for convincing me to make them;
> recolored vanilla hairstyle to fit both the books description and the color of haircards on brows
