How do I make Mouths? - Catman-232/Homebrewery GitHub Wiki

First things first, go to the mod's own HomebreweryFiles > Mouth folder

You'll notice that there is no Byrdle folder here, because they actually don't have mouths at all, since they have the beak meshes instead, they don't need mouth textures. Except now you can make beak texture options anyway using the mouth textures! See the Beak textures page for details!

If you want your Mouth to be for every race (except Byrdle of course) then go into "HB_ALLRACES", otherwise go into the folder of the race you want to make it exclusive to.
Note that the shape of the mouth mesh is different between the races, so a mouth made for all races will likely look strange on Kubolds especially!

Make a new folder and name it something smart like: 'your username'_Mouth_'name of the thing'. Like in the screenshot here, and avoid using spaces or punctuation marks like apostrophes.

Put two PNG images in the folder, ideally 128px width by 64px height, since that seems to work out nicest in-game. Any resolution above 9x9px is allowed but aim to stick to this 2:1 aspect ratio for the best results. (I know many vanilla mouths are 64x64px, but custom ones with this resolution always ended up looking weird)

The two images must be named as follows:
"closed"
"open" or "opened"


You MUST have a closed PNG for the Mouth to be valid and be imported to the game!
If you do not provide an open / opened PNG, the mod will duplicate the closed PNG to use as a filler.

While in the character creator, you can press F to make the character open their mouth!
