No More Dead Eyed Crowd NPCs v1
Tweaks the roughness value of the eyes, making them look glossy instead of matte.
Why?
Eyes of crowd NPCs, the ones you see mindlessly roaming the cities, look unnatural. It’s because most of them are matte instead of glossy. With this mod all crowd NPCs now have a fixed roughness value for the natural glossy look.
This mod does not change the animations or behaviour of crowd NPCs. It’s only for the glossiness of the eyes.
Installation
Install this like any other mod.
This only tweaks textures, so if any other mod also touches the textures of crowd NPCs, the one that is loaded last will work.
How this works (for the nerds)
Starfield, like any other PBR game, uses roughness maps. It tells the game how glossy(rough) the material should be. You’ve probably already guessed that roughness maps of crowd NPCs tell the game to render the eyes as if they were rough. Eyes are wet, they should be glossy, not matte. This mod tweaks the value to be 0.08. Which isn’t mirror-like but still very glossy. Vanilla roughness values range from 0.17 up to 0.80. Which is wild. A total of 18 _rough textures have been tweaked.
