Dragon Metal

Version: 2.0

Contributor Information:

Addon based on BMM's Dragonborn scales for both Bibo+ and TBSE with vanilla and Gen3 compatibility for Au Ra. Several muscle options for both, including YAB small.

You do REQUIRE TBSE to make that version work but the B+ one functions with vanilla just fine.

Requires a base dragonborn scale mod for the diffuse.

Many thanks to everyone for their hard and lovely work, which allowed me to make this fun little pack ♥

Author's Comments:

Mostly contains only skin materials, mask, and normals. This means you should be able to use this on top of your custom scales. Included optional color match options for Talons and Sharps for some base Dragonborn colors. These are not exact, but closer than they were. Ensure all your dropdowns and shine strengths match and you should be good to go for the most part.

THIS WILL REMOVE GLOW AND SKIN COLOR INFLUENCE OVER SCALES.

Metal shaders also make colors much darker. Either use the Gentle shine to soften the metallic effect for truer colors, or lighten your scales directly on your diffuse while using the Strong shine.

Remember to set this at a higher priority than your scales and other body mods.

Added compatibility for Croc, Improved, Sting, Sneeple, and Plates tails as well as Talons and Sharps. For Talons and Sharps, I only edited the hand and foot parts. The claws are still dyeable as normal and not metallic.

You CAN also achieve an oiled-up look on your skin if you go into the corresponding materials in Advanced Editing, and change the Tile Opacity (under Material Constants). I set it to 75% for a more matte skin look to start with. Just keep in mind as with all oily textures this is liable to make seams more obvious - though I've done what I can to mitigate as many seams as possible, I can only do so much. And ensure that your face materials match your body or you will look like a patched up doll.

I also changed the base pores to be smaller and smoother but the skin texture isn't entirely poreless. If you want poreless, put your Tile Set to 0 instead of 60.

Finally, I did do a custom neckline based on Dragonborn as well for scaleless auri boys because the shape of the model beneath the scales is funky. This should let you use a scaleless body without needing a model change.

I DO NOT OWN, AND DID NOT MAKE, ANY BASE FILES.
