Aster's Eyes of Eorzea

Version 3.0

🔷Brand new HD eye texture upgrades based on those from my experimental eyes loose files (this is what all that experimenting was for!), derived from public domain images of actual irises from humans and cats.
🔶Slightly reduced the size and noticeability of the bright ring around the pupil on faces using eyes 1/10/11 (mainly Hyur, Roe & Viera) in response to feedback.
🔷Blended the pupils more in response to feedback.
🔶Slightly enlarged the pupils on some eyes in response to feedback.
🔷Added a smoother gradient shadow to the eyes, also improving colour visibility.
🔶Updated the loose files available in Google Drive.


Description:

Owl's Eyes of Eorzea was my absolute favourite pre-Dawntrail eye mod. However, TeenyOwlet is unable to continue to update it for Dawntrail, and has given me their permission to update it myself going forward. (https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy14/mods/132?tab=posts&jump_to_comment=141367707)

I have therefore ported it for 7.0 compatability, with a few personal choices made regarding the particular eye diffuses used. I plan to update and support it further in the future as more modding tools become available and updated following Dawntrail's release.

Loose Files:

If you'd like to mix and match textures or use ones I converted but have not yet manually repainted (or if you prefer the crunch), I have packaged all the loose files together into a zip file on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BfrdgOtGXWWoVkdpEZU-OazfaTF5ipMV?usp=sharing
