 2. Added support to all additional races (including all beast races).
 3. Modified mesh shape so that it won't clip with any vanilla armor.
 4. Various texture improvements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, i'll be quite brief because english isn't my native language.

This mod will add a new craftable hood to the game.
The model was made in two days from scratch by me except some accessories. They are using original vanilla mesh.


Tools i used:
Marvelous Designer 3 (Creating concept)
Autodesk 3ds max 2015 (2011 only for export plugin)
Autodesk Mudbox 2015  (only for texturing tool, i dont really recommend you to sculpt in this program.)
3d Coat (Mesh sculpting & retopologizing)
UV Layout (Creating uv's)
xNormal (for normal/occlusion map baking)
SS Bump Generator (Awesome tool imo)


The Concept:
The original idea was to create something similar to the "Imported Hood" from dark souls 2.

The mod contains two versions of hood:
Stranger Hood - simple hood with a covered mask (no mask version also availible).
Ritual Stranger Hood - Same hood with a covered mask and a little bit accessories.
Both female/male genders are supported.

Where to find:
Both hoods are craftable. You can create them at the tanning rack.


Requirements:
No requirements.

Recommended:
UNP Female Body
UNP Female Armors

Mod compatibilities:
1. Mod will conflict with any mod that replaces standard human head.
2. If you'll find anything else, describe it in the comment topic.

Installation:
1. Drop all the content from the archive to the data folder.
2. Activate the mod in the plugin manager.


Uninstallation:
1. Disable the mod in your plugin manager.
2. Delete the following files from your data folder:
StrangerHood.bsa
StrangerHood.esp


Known bugs/issues/wtf's:
1. The hood mask is not fully compatible with all race morphs, so if you gonna modify your character appearance you may expect some glitches.
2. The model has a small fault in uvmap. Some borders are crossing each other. Im too lazy to fix that but you wont likely see this fail in game.
3. For some reason the hood has clipping issues. Especially when combining with vanilla armour. I'm currently working on this issue.
4. If you find something else describe it in the comment topic. I'll fix it as soon as possible


Future updates:
1. Completly fixing all the bugs/issues
2.  Adding a weight slider support. i hope it helps me to avoid clipping issues
3. Adding a hdt physics support. I dont really know if that's possible, well.. why not?, but at least i'll try to play around with it.


Permissions/bla-bla:
You can do/share with it what/wherever you want, i dont care, but i'll be very pleased if you'll credit me as original creator.
You may use this hood in your armor mods as well.


Aknowledgements:
Thanks to Dark Souls 2 ( for two broken keyboards and of course the concept idea.. )
Thanks to Bethesda for creating Skyrim.
