Skinmatics
by ProstStuff
Skinmatics changes the avatar of the vanilla player model, with dynamic eyes, animated and emissive textures, PBR support and a paper doll HUD.
What it does
The mod focuses on avatar customization built around the vanilla player model. Its features include a multi-avatar system, dynamic eyes, animated textures driven by ticks, emissive textures and options to change the skin, cape and elytra texture. Animated textures are defined through a tick location, so no long strip image file is needed. Emissive texture settings control emissiveness, metalness and roughness through PBR.
The mod adds a miniaturized player model shown as a paper doll in the top-left of the screen, which by default behaves similarly to the Bedrock paper doll. It also gives the player dynamic lighting, and the light can illuminate the world. Player looks can react to what the player is looking at and doing. Skinmatics requires Utilitary, and Mod Menu is optional. Using PBR needs Iris Shaders with a supported shader, and dynamic lighting needs LambDynamicLights.
