Description:
Adds double sided shader to male and female human mouth meshes. Also uses a vertex alpha trick provided by Artsick to prevent protruding. This is purely a cosmetic fix to prevent teeth un-immersively disappearing at certain angles while talking. Meshes provided will only work for player. In the second screenshot, I illustrate that you absolutely must abuse Racemenu sliders in order to get the mesh to protrude. If you are experiencing protrusion in Racemenu, then you are using the sliders wrong.
How does the vertex alpha trick work?
This isn't just a simple matter of clicking on a couple shader properties. All vertices in the mesh were given vertex colors, and 9 specific vertices were selected to be "alpha'd" out. Those vertices being the ones that connect the front of the mouth mesh to the head mesh, which are parts of the mesh never normally seen anyway. No vertices were removed, moved, or "scaled", allowing for compatibility with tri files designed for vanilla meshes.
Installation:
It's just meshes. Only conflicts would be teeth mods like Realistic Teeth.
If using Fair Skin Complexion's Optional Teeth, you can allow this mod to overwrite it's mesh.
(The female mesh in FSC is double sided like the ones here.)
100% Compatible with any vanilla teeth texture replacers.
100% Compatible with BVFE mouth tris for generating fangs for player
*If you are using Expressive Female Animation by Niroku, just install the OPTIONAL file here over it's meshes. MAIN file from here NOT required. DO NOT USE THESE OPTIONAL MESHES WITHOUT EFA INSTALLED!!! Contains meshes for females and males. Should still be compatible with BVFE, needs testing...
