Hey all! It's taken a bit of time to learn the ins and outs of nifskope, how to make glowmaps, how to create headparts, and so on. I hope you enjoy this mod.
Yup! This guide helped a bunch: https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Add_glow_to_the_Eyes As well as this one: http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/How_to_add_glow_maps
Vampire eyes are fucky - the game is hardcoded to make vampires have the vanilla vamp eyes, which means that even if you change it, the eyes will sadly change back when you load a save or go through a loading door. I'm not sure how it's done, but fixing this would likely require an SKSE plugin to circumvent the function. The way DVA did it was through a script which would continuously change your eyes to the ones it would add, which would make them flicker occasionally but wasn't very efficient (the eyes could get stuck, etc)
You can try to take the eye you want, download a vampire eye replace and switch out the textures. That way, the vanilla vamp texture would switch to the azurite one.
Would it be possible to edit this mod to remove one eye entirely?, if possible please let me know, I'd really like to use these eyes with the Heterochromia Reborn mod, but with these eyes in the vanilla slider so that they don't use their glow. If that is possible I'm curious if there are any tools that allow me to do that myself, new to Skyrim modding but I would like to give it a try.
Heya, this is a pretty nice eye mod, good job! But I would like to point out that Cuyima's mod is not broken, I am still using and I have also played around with my own character and I have had no issues with their eye mod <3
Oh, I meant broken more in the sense of improperly configured. Cuyima's glowmaps are built wrongly - the slot in the textureset corresponds to the _sk.dds file, which is essentially a full-body texture, making the entirety of the eye glow with one singular color. I fixed both the shaders and the glowmap so now, only the iris glows, instead of the scelera as well.
