Eivor face textures replacements based on game NPCs.

All textures were taken from Valhalla NPCs. Slightly adjusted and blended.
As I'm not experienced in graphic tools, I did not tried to do any remake of those textures, only to remove some ugly things.
I hope you enjoy some of this.

RECOMMENDATIONS
- Appearance is greatly depends from customization, use Eivor Customizer to change beard, hair, hair color, eyes color etc.
UPDATE 2022-03-30
Again many thanks to QuilLeeR for  Eivor Customizer 2. Now Randvi Head option (custom head) works for OneEyed Eivor, also in DLC Ragnarok.

- Thanks lighting in this game player face can look very different, so check it in few places.
- Absolutely must have setting: in ACValhalla.ini change "Character=2" to "Character=4".
(usually c:\Users\%YourUserName%\Documents\Assassin's Creed Valhalla\ACValhalla.ini)

F01 - based on Eivor Female Kid
F02 - like F01 but with eyes makeup and slightly more dence brows, taken from vanilla female Eivor
F03 - Randvi face replacer. You can use it in two ways: as NPC face replacer only, and to play with Randvi Head option in Customizer.
F04 - Smooth face 
F05 - Diffuse is the same as F04, Normal is as F03 

M01, M05 - slightly different, M05 more cleaned with adjusted brows 
M02 - blended 
M03, M04 - blended, slightly different, M03 have adjusted brows
M06 - another face
One-Eyed options - actual only for male. Use the same textures.

Wrinkles - blured version of wrinkles for male and female. It's not perfect, but in many dialogues with emotions, smooth face looks better than vanilla. At your discretion.

INSTALLATION

1. Install Forger manager. Use ver.2.10.

2. Copy 3 files from archive to ForgerPatches folder (in your game folder).

zAx_Eivor_Male_Diffuse.dds
zAx_Eivor_Male_Normal.dds
zAx_Eivor_Male.forger2

or

zAx_Eivor_Female.forger2
zAx_Eivor_Female_Diffuse.dds
zAx_Eivor_Female_Normal.dds

UPD 2022-04-28
For Male v2 choose variant of scars (or no scars), copy then zAx_Eivor_Male_Diffuse.dds from M01 - M06 folder, and zAx_Eivor_Male_Normal.dds from NormalMap folder.
Forger file is in "Eivor AIO Forger Files" archive.


3. Each variant will rewrite another. Only one option at time.

4. Before applying this mod in Forger manager disable another face retexture mod, if have.
Sometimes I get bug after checking options with face reverted to vanilla. Recheck mod options in Forger manager again.
I can't explain why it happens, as my patch change the same files, as in the mod of Fuse00 and others.

ABOUT GAME AND MOD UPDATES
Some mods need to be updated, some not - it depends from what files with 'forge' extentions were changed and added.

Step 1. It's better to "Reset All Forges" before game update, but if you have not done it, do it after update.

Step 2. Recheck all options that you use in all your mods.
The same steps you can do with Rechecking your game files from Ubisoft launcher to be sure, that game files are not corrupted.

Step 3. Errors
3.1 If you get Crash to Desktop (CTD) try to delete all files in folders:
c:\Users\%YourUserName%\Documents\Assassin's Creed Valhalla\cache\
c:\Users\%YourUserName%\Documents\Assassin's Creed Valhalla\file_cache\
Still get error when loading game - disable all mods and enable them one by another, to find 'bad' mod, that don't work anymore.

3.2 If your get error when checking option in Forger Manager - the cause is that game files were changed in a way that mod need to be updated. 

3.3 When you check options in Forger Manager but no changes in game happens, the main cause is that new forge files were added with update, and mod must be updated.
