------------------------------------

New Textures that fix those black spots that were caused by the normalmap being black in some areas. Now it covers all of the tooth, and you'll no longer see black or weird artifacts on teeth. 

Additionally fixes the Normalmap format, and converts it to tangent space, which helps with light reflections inside the mouth (which are absolutely minimal, and pointless).

You can read about this below, it's mostly a technical rant lol.

For unknown reason Khajiit and Argonian mouths used Object Space Normalmaps, the infamous format, only used by bodies and faces, which will chane orientation according to what direction you're facing the light from (left, right, etc) this format is usually used for static images\ renders, and not videogames.

Normalmaps have now been converted to Tangent Space format (and mesh was also fixed in order to accomodate this), which wil always keep the correct orientation, and reflect specularity properly.

Doesn't make too much of a difference, since it's mostly hidden in the mouth, and you barely see teeth, but now it's fixed, and consistent with the rest of the mouths. This won't apply to NPCs but only to player, but it was just an additional pet peeve of mine. The main fix is the texture blackness which caused black spots all over on the teeth.
