Hi! I'm M/maoai/Obsessed Illusionist, and I lurk and make mods for games I like to play. I hope to make a game of my own someday, but I'm good where I am for now.
I run a multi-WoL verse for FFXIV, which I'll expand on in another post! I'm an EU player, with characters on both servers.

Updated so it's current as of right now. Next update will be after another few modpacks have been made.
Alright, alternate place to find all the animations I've done so far (won't be updated until there's a lot more added to the pile again)

Damn, they really said "Sphene wears pants, so we don't have to bother with skirt bones" for her animations. That's really rough...

Extra tips:
1. Play with non-symmetrical placement
2. Lighting is everything!
3. If you stretch & clip it right, you can even make it look like it's streaming down the cheek
have fun!

Teary Eyes with Gpose only:
Old tip from Tumblr since ppl are still finding it useful 🧵
1. Tiny tear prop on main & off hand: 9072, 1, 1
2. Scale up, rotate & shape to preference
3. Position & clip into eyes :D

so the tears are props... so theoretically.... if I (or someone else) stabs the weapon/prop bone in the eyes... and stretch them with animation... hmmmmmm.....

Thanks and sorry for being my guinea pig, My Beloved Guy of All Time.
Making the eye lids work was scary bc I was squinting at an unfamiliar file type and graphs, but it wasn't so bad.
I guess my next step for learning's making the expression use a unique path so it doesn't mess with other emotes.

bonking my head at Estinien's animations again, cuz can anyone tell me why they're ported and useable in gpose just fine to literally any other gender and race BUT male Elezen models? Did he put a curse on them so he's the one and only male Elezen model that can use them? Is it Niddhog? I'm gonna-

By the by, this isn't a bug. Some looping emotes have a short part dedicated to 'start' the animation, then the loop kicks in. The modded animations runs on the loop part of the emote, not the start animation.
As a side note, these mods are made with gposers/video editors in mind, not roleplay.

That wolqotd about which emote fits your character so well and I’m sitting here like “well it was ‘joy’ mixed with other facial expressions for the longest time, but then Sphene took that and now I’m like idk” old proto rhiv for reference cuz that judgey one was my fav combo

Didn't think I had an animation mod in me today, but I might do another update to Bear You Home.... A little different than the previous ones, but I think it belongs in the pack just fine.
