Yeah, I know that feeling... :'P

Otherwise all slime expressions are, I believe, still images. Similar to how The Legend of Zelda does it. (and many Nintendo games tbh)
I only know this because I once designed part of a Ocarina of Time texture pack and I had to draw Link's face.
Well, actually... The modelling in Slime Rancher is so simple that I could do it. I've got enough experience of 3D modelling in the past and I have the programs for it ^^ I would need a programmer or someone capable of putting the mod together though
And yes, all the expressions are still images separate from the rest of the slime (the colour of the slimes and such is made with materials in the engine)
