Detail Mask Fix v2 (Patreon)

Hey everyone, as previously mentioned in the last update post, I've been experimenting with finally fixing this dreaded outline issue with the face when Outline Thickness is turned on. Since that release, I've done a little bit more tweaking with the Detail Mask and wanted to upload it for you all.

This fixes two main issues:

• Ear outline is restored.
• Reduced thickness of face outline to better match neck line.

The ear issue wasn't actually noticed by me when experimenting with it initially because the model I was using had hair covering the ears. Now, proper outline should appear so that it doesn't blend in with the head. The second issue was that I actually intentionally edited the mask to produce a "thicker" outline, but upon testing further I noticed that the line thickness didn't match up with the rest of the body, so the face would have a thick outline and it would transition to a thin neck outline. It wasn't THAT noticeable, but it was jarring, so I reverted those changes.

There's still some more experimentation I want to do but can't quite figure out yet. For example, the body model has it's own detail mask, and one of the things I wanted was to make the cleavage stand out more, since it tends to blend in too much with the chest area (hiding the cleavage). Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to do it, but I'm not done experimenting yet.

For now, the new file can be found below. Once again, simply open whichever character you want, select the head, Material Edit (Face), then for Detail Mask, import this file. It's best to move it to your own default Koikatsu/UserData/MaterialEditor folder for future use.

Enjoy!
