Opaque Ocarina Emote

REQUIRED MODS: Holo Ocarina by Belté and Maia

I cannot tell you, firstly, how LONG it took me to reverse-engineer this lovely mod to make it an opaque ocarina for my Zelly alt, nor secondly, how EXCITED I was when I (three months late) realized the mod was at last unvaulted and I could release this into the wild to you all! :')

An edit of Belté's Holo Ocarina to make it opaque! Simple in theory, but a lot harder than it sounds in practice, since the ocarina itself is entirely VFX and I am not the smartest lizard on the rock. I've included a dropdown menu totaling 12 options that incrementally adjust the placement of the ocarina against the lips, with tooltips listing which race/gender faces each option was designed for (many faces worked well with identical settings, hence only needing twelve options total)! This should also offer a decent range of positioning for any sculpts as well, hopefully. :)

Due to that VFX bit, though, there are a few limitations and things to note: firstly, I never did figure out how to make it react properly to lighting, so it only reacts to sun- and moonlight. You'll notice, if you're in a place like the inn rooms (where technically, the game doesn't produce any "natural" light), it will look VERY shadowed. In inn rooms and other indoor instances, at least, this can be cheated with a plugin like Ktisis that allows you to edit light, but something to keep in mind!

Secondly, the original Holo Ocarina mod doesn't work on either lalafell or male roegadyn/male hrothgar, due to them having unique versions of /bombdance. I added options to partially support them, as shown in the additional previews, but while the ocarina will be correctly placed in their lips, their hands will not be remotely aligned; these options are intended to be used with Gpose and posing tools like Ktisis or Brio to reposition the hands yourself. I am simply not an animation modder and I have no inkling how to offer more than this, I apologize! If in the future Belté adds support for these races, I will update this mod accordingly so that it references their animations!

Regardless of those hiccups, I do hope you enjoy! This mod has brought me so much joy, and being able to add this dinky little texture edit into the world is a delight to me. <3 My endless thanks to Belté and Maia for its lovely creation, and permitting me to share this little edit!
