(DT) Fem Exarch Skin (Crystal Exarch skin for Ladies)

Thank you to Spiswel for ASYMFACES, Cultist for teaching me how to use the metal on skin shader, and the bibo+ team (Bizu, Illy, Tsar) for bibo+ and it's base textures

The exarch's Crystal for ladies!
(Please redownload! This should be the final fix to the metal to look nice in all lighting. the old metal modpack is still included for indoor shots.)
This is a skin (and face) Mod that replaces the base bibo+ skin with a custom full version of the Crystal Exarch's crystal, set up for use on nude bodies and under clothing. If you use this mod in gposes, I would love it if you tagged me on bluesky (@Alloragamer.bsky.social) but it is not required.

This mod was created using Square Enix's DT updated exarch textures, ported to the bibo+ layout and extended to have fuller coverage instead of just stopping where his clothes begin.

This mod uses Sipswel's ASYMFACES (DT) mod as a base for the face, as the crystal is inherently asymmetrical. The 3d mesh for the fem miqo face 3 face is included in the mod to ensure it works, but if you'd like to change the face it's on, you can use the editing files in the devkit to move it to any other asym face (sculpt or spiswel's) that is using the new DT asym layout. THIS MOD WILL NOT WORK ON PRE DT HEADS OR PRE DT SCULPTS THAT HAVE BEEN PORTED TO DT BUT RETAIN THE OLD UV LAYOUT

Included in the .RAR file (a zip file but you need 7zip or winrar to open, for optimal compression) is the mod itself, all the files you could possibly want for making edits, combining with your existing textures, or making your own versions, and a README with my permissions, credits, info about the mod, and how to edit. (it's a little funky). PLEASE READ THE README IF YOU PLAN ON MAKING ANY EDITS EVER


Some quick notes on the mod-
If you swap between the glow and non-glow options, you MUST manually redraw yourself or it won't update the face. this is a penumbra quirk.
All Glow options are incompatible with CC/Glamourer lipstick. this is a game limitation. if you want lipstick, please add it to the diffuse.

This mod is inherently asymmetrical, and therefore there is no Mat A version of the textures. this means that when wearing vanilla/unmodded clothing, it will not display. There's nothing I can do about this as the texture is inherently asym, sorry.

Known Issues:
There is a slight neckseam on the Crystal portion around the nack. I'll try to fix this at a later point, but I'm a little tired right now, and not sure what exactly is causing it, as it looks as smooth as can be in substance.

There is no Gen 3 compatability at this time. Eventually I may do a quick and dirty LTC port, but I kinda want to get this released. If you are a Gen 3 user, please use LTC to make a gen 3 version, and copy the material settings to a new mat B for skin (in textools)
