Bird Up, Avians!

Description
This mod is CLIENT-SIDE!
An overhaul of the vanilla avians to become fluffier, birdlier and overall more expressive!

This mod includes :
• New male and female bodies.
• New selection of beaks, fluff and plumage.
• Additional black-colored beaks and legs.
• Overhauled "eye language" for more expressive avians. (Iffy with some fluff selections, will update as it comes.)

Notes :
<> This mod patches the vanilla Avian sprites with the [BU] Avian body type. Uninstalling the mod will revert Avians back into their vanilla counterparts.
<> Existing character Plumage, Beaks and Fluff can be edited via mods like StarExtensions.
<> Should be compatible with both Color mods, and mods that add more head options.
<> WILL HAVE VISUAL ISSUES with other mods reskinning Avians.
<> Unfortunately does not reskin Tonauac.

Inspiration was taken from both Legend of Zelda Rito, and a variety of referenced real-world birds. Some are goofy while others are stylish.

BirdUp model update in the works!

Tweaked animation and plumage/fluff/beak visuals (with extra additions), and clothing compatibility in the works.

Working out plans to make the transition as seamless as possible. For those concerned with models based around previous sprites, they will be included within the BirdUp mod files for personal use.

Keep an eye out for new race mods in the works as well!

Hey @Mabra! Since eStyleFaces changes sprites, their sprites may overwrite Bird Up faces or vice versa. If you'd like to use eStyteFaces with Bird Up, I'd suggest trying out the Body and Colors Only! fork seen in the description.

Is this compatible with "eStyleFaces" ?

Hey @Ten the Hyena, I'll certainly consider that! Tailfeathers would be a fun addition.

Would it be possible that there will be a version with tail feathers?

Hi @Kubomi! , I feel very bad for the Apex and Human race , they are just flat designs , biology , the story is normal. I would like if they made them just a bit diferent from our World.

Hey ID, it would be fascinating to see a correlation between thicker legs and a natural speed boost. Stronger legs would be better with traction and maintaining speed. Though, I'd love to see more racial bonuses in general.

Hi @Kubomi! The other thing i thinked was like, their is no race that is fast, and the other think i had was that Avian have armored legs soo why not use them in a better direction ? Can you give an opinion ?

Hey @ID! Based upon a human anatomy, bulkier bird legs would certainly be a possibility. After all, they'd need to be adapted to holding more weight since they lack the flight now.

I believe it's more of a spectrum based on a human/bird ratio. Closer to the human side you get bulkier features, and on the latter end you'd have lighter features. But I could be thinking too far into it. :papyrus:
