Thanks for the feedback, always appreciated.

The antenna cups in the vanilla model are actually animated using dedicated bones. Since I went with the regular human rig with this one, I don't have that option available. I did apply your suggestion to make them danglymeshes (as well as the spikes) to give them a bit more life.

The eye cubemap is indeed custom. It's my first time playing around with it and it's hard to gauge how it's going to look applied on a half-sphere. I've reduced the number of lights, it looks a bit more like the movies now.

I don't see a shading issue on the lips, maybe it's the bump and specmap that leave that impression?

Oh it is only the "hair" that uses danglymeshes on the vanilla? Been a while since I looked at it. I know some of the TSL aliens have a few more flappy bits using danglymeshes.

As to the mouth, it' hard to say without seeing it firsthand in-game.

Is it just me, or does the head look a little disproportionately small on those long shots?
