Thancred Rewritten - Endwalker Face Port

Thancred's pre-DT face sculpt rerigged to DT skeleton. It just works. It works even better in 7.1 now

I think Thancred face mods are kind of a meme at this point but I promise this one does something different.

What this mod does:
- Rerigs Thancred's old pre-DT face sculpt to the new DT face skeleton. All expressions work. It's his old face with new posing capability.
- Adds DT improvements like higher poly ears, new mouth with higher poly teeth and posable tongue, new eyes and face decals that use the new DT character shaders.
- Higher poly to be a lil more in line with new DT sculpts.
- Includes textures based on Sophie's NPC Defined to accommodate new ears and teeth.
- Upscales face decals.
- Options for cinematic archon marks, dyeable lashes, and getting rid of the DT eyeball shadow.
- Options for scruffy ARR and SHB Thancred, and a clean shaven HVW Thancred I Guess

What this mod does not do:
- Sculpt a DT head to emulate Thancred's face shape
- Restore Thancred's original EW head with EW rigging and old face skeleton
- Use new DT UV layout. It's still the old UVs sorry.

Like many, many, many, many other people I was super dissatisfied with the changes DT brought to this guy. Like many, many, many other people I made a sculpted DT face to try to get his face looking a little bit closer to how it used to be. Like many, many, many other people I didn't really feel like this was "good enough" but I also wasn't satisfied with just restoring the old pre-DT head and losing the new face skeleton functionality.

Everyone's work is fantastic so if you like the new DT face I suggest checking out the Thancred tag. Nothing did exactly what I wanted though (including my own first attempt at resculpting) which was the old face 1:1 with the new DT face bones. So, I did it myself. An actual 6.x face ported to the new skeleton.
