Selfish Earth Genasi Request

Unread post by CommanderKrieg »

Please could we have some more human looking faces and hair choices for earth genasi? The current humanish face has eyes the bulge out :(

A bald option would be good as well. All of the hairs in the hair helmets clip on the earth genasi hair :(

The eye bulging is a particularly annoying issue 😓 but in agreement the genasi heads can be expanded for both male and female. Will look into it.

From what I've seen, this limitation applies to all the Genasi heads, and I would be extremely gratified to see even just a small expansion to their options in the form of bald heads.

My creative juices/motivations on somewhat dwindling so if someone can SS about 4 male faces from humans and 4 female faces, we can convert those over easily.

The eyes bulging issue should NOT be apparent on any newer models since the 2017 "holy (do-me), those eyes! pack" , so if we are having any of the newer models have eyes bulge, we've not gotten reports about it.

I think, the issue with just converting Human Faces to Earth Genasi via face only was that there could lie the possibility of a human rping with earth genasi stats or an earth genasi rping as a human. Either or.

So what faces, we do convert, we'll likely create a specific eye texture for those converted models to help create a line in the sand for such actions.

We can also provide a new normal map to create earth like cracks in the face and such... to create this effect as well.

as for hairs, all newer hairs are made to fit the standard models, if not, at the least, any newer face models we put out. We do not create content around the Xaltar head models pack, ever.

These models up above.


The Xaltar's head models were not created to align with the original vanilla heads of the game. Therefore some may have experienced newer content such as hairs not being fully compatible with them as we create content based on heads created in the likeness of the vanilla content.

All in all, request received. LivT and I are discussing the possibilities, but finding already in game faces in the humans section and SS them can help us tailor this request for our general audience. We don't always get it right in media team lol.

It's not entirely appropriate to have genasi who have literally no visible genasi traits, though. So bear that in mind.

This kind of godmodding was already happening 8-)

That said, I'm against such things myself. I'm also not in favor of different unrelated races (for example, elf and tiefling) sharing the same facial appearances. If there would be conversions, I'd say they should have some distinguishable genasi features, even if minor ones.

Also, bald genasi - YES, so much yes.

Already stated it on the discord, but I'll do so here as well. I'm working on cloning the hairs.
