About this mod

More attempts to moisturise the wrinkles out of the default masculine faces - I can't make the skin maturity slider go into the negatives to match the feminine defaults, but I can edit the normal maps and fake it.

Permissions and credits
After smoothing out the masculine githyanki heads, I looked at the half-orc faces and felt the same urge to iron all the heavy lines out of their skin to fix the discrepancy between the masculine and feminine faces. Maybe giving them a face lift will make them feel more appealing to players who would otherwise dismiss them.

This is not a mesh edit, it's just me fiddling around with the normal maps for the heads to create a smoother illusion to the faces.

The files utilised in this mod are:
Head 1 in CC = HRC_M_NKD_Head_A_NM.DDS
Head 2 in CC = HRC_M_NKD_Head_B_NM.DDS
Head 3 in CC = HRC_M_NKD_Head_C_NM.DDS
Head 4 in CC = HRC_M_NKD_Head_D_NM.DDS
Head 5 in CC = HRC_M_NKD_Head_E_NM.DDS

This mod will be incompatible with other mods that modify the above files.

There are two versions of smoothing available:

V1 - primarily smooths the creases around the mouth and eyes and the horizontal lines on foreheads
V2 - has the above edits but also smooths the pinching creases at the top of the nose and brow

You can only use one version at a time if you just wish to bulk copy and install with what I've provided - if you want to mix and match which heads you want to use, you can do so at your own discretion by overwriting the files in your Data folder individually.

=====

To install the mod:
Unzip the zip archive and then copy the "Generated" folder into the "Data" folder of Baldur's Gate 3's files.
To remove this mod:
Delete all associated files.

If you only wish to use specific heads in this edit, you can copy over only the parts you wish to use so long as the filepath remains the same as presented in the provided folder.

For example, if you only want to use Head 1, you can find the file in this location:
Generated\Public\SharedDev\Assets\Characters\_Models\HalfOrcs\HRC_M_NKD\HRC_M_NKD_Head_A\Resources
