I've uploaded the mod, it makes the portraits use the aquatic and mammalian species classes: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3206708074

Hi Segek, I've made a patch that can be loaded alongside this mod to update it to the current version, and places the portraits in the existing phenotype categories (aquatic, mammalian, etc). Would you be OK with me posting it? It doesn't reuse your assets, and would just be an optional patch.

Hello Segek! I just wanted to say that I really love your Animated Portraits mod. It really adds some nice variety to the alien species you can encounter. I am working on a species mod called "Species of Stellaris" and I would love to implement your creation into it. I was looking if I can be granted permission to use the mod in this way. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.

Gg

The mod is now updated to the current version (3.5)
Still no pc but I managed to do it

Thanks again for answering my questions.

Yes, at least one more after that I'm evaluating the possibility of working on a new more specific themed one.

Thanks!

Also, did you intend to add any more portraits to this mod?

It is already compatible, I just need to update the version number and I will as soon as i receive my pc (I moved to a different country )
I'll fix this as soon as I can!

Did you intend to update this portraits to making them compatible with the 3.5 update?

Amazing Mod

Thank you so much for creating this, this is literally one of the few portrait mods out there that entirely feels like actual vanilla Stellaris

@Dukkokun Absolutely, thanks for doing it the proper way ahaha

Hi Segek, would you be ok if I included this mod in my patch that condenses all portraits mods in vanilla's species_classes? Your mod would be a requirement for my patch and users would have to subscribe to your mod. I will not take any credit and/or include any of your art in my mod (only changing species_class to fit the portraits under humanoids). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2800218111

Understood. I'll remove the contents from my build!

@Mythez Sorry but i don't allow my mods on public modpacks.

Wonderful work - I have included parts of your mod in mine but then got banned for not asking for permissions. Do you have any objections to your work being included in mine? I have already added you to the credits list.

Good Stuff

Uhhhhh

(the 4th portrait is coming soon )

With a little delay I updated the mod to 3.3 and checked that there were no errors, now everything should be fine Have fun!

gg gg gg x3

Coming in days!! (It's actually a formality there's no problems in running it as it is)

3.3?

Love the new portrait!

The second portrait set was perfect for my Aquatic space pirates empire, as I think they look kinda fishy-inspired. Thanks for providing a good alternative for an aquatic-based game :-)

Good Job dude! Keep it up!

No problem man, keep up the good work!

I've updated the mod to the new Stellaris Version AND added a NEW portrait!
I've been super busy with work but I've managed to catch up
As always let me know if something goes horribly wrong!

The second alien is cool, but why he/she is looking to the side instead of looking directly to the screen -- and to the player -- like all other portraits in Stellaris (including your first alien)?

Great stuff, the animations work really well on both, and I love the second alien that you have recently added. Certainly looking forward to future additions.

Nice, the blue guy remembers me of Obama

Hell, it's about time for we to have an Aquatic like species in Stellaris! And the partially-masked three-eyed aliens are cool too...

Yes ahaha, I might add somothing else in that direction...

New species is like amphibian sea monster = Ocean world :D

Update is up! Thare's a new kinda fishy portrait! as always let me know if you have problems, like, share screenshots and all that kind of stuff!

Thanks again to everyone! the consistency with the game's art style matters a lot to me so your feedback makes me so happy! That said I'm about to update this mod in the next hours, I'll post a sneak peek on twitter soon!

Been so great for my megacorp playthroughs!

These are awesome. Keep up the amazing work.

This fits perfectly with the background style, plz make one with a helmet.

I agree this fits perfectly with the art style. It looks like Paradox made it.

I second the comments about this fitting with the Stellaris art style well - there are a number of good animated portraits mods out there, but very few actually fit well with the game's style, making them feel awkward and artificial. This fits in seemlessly with the Paradox designs, like Silfae's and the Alien Suns mods. Will be keeping an eye on this one and look forward to what else you are able to come up with!

@rad_dad_21 That's the kindest thing you could say

This is really great artwork! It fits well with the other portraits and their art style which is awesome! Great work my friend!

These are incredible! So cool.

Thanks for all the support, I have already started working on the second portrait

Nice portraits.

They almost look too high-quality compared to Stellaris!

A great mod for a great campaign

Cooooooooool
