Modded Casual N7 Shirt v2.0 Now UP!

Ok version 2.0 is now up on Nexus Mods, extra textures will be available soon but now I need a long break of mods because I'm so tired... modding has a lot of work specially if you make them for the game. All I want now is play a bit WoW XD!. Ah, XNALara version of this will be ready after Christmas.

See you :D.


A minor update on my Top Tank Mod

I added an alternative version of the original top tank more larger, now it covers the belly. I think it's nice to have more versions :), I hope you like it!.

Screenshots in Game Femshep Shirt V2.0

Finally some pics in game showing the remodeled version with improved texture:


    Alliance emblem looks a bit deformed because it's on the supposed site where the hole was but I 
 can fix it :).
 





The femshep version is almost completed but maleshep's version needs some texture improvements and minor fixing issues and I want to release both versions at the same time. 
Maybe the release will be tomorrow :D.

See you !

Remodeling Femshep's Shirt

I'm trying to remodel the "weird space" on Femshep shirt from my mod to release the version 2.0 and Ashley version with it. Remodel things like a breast can be a real headache but I begin to understand how a vertex really works to prevent deform the mesh, with a lot of patience and the correct tools (scale, move, smooth tool and planar) it's possible!.

Some people also ask me if I could resized the chest because it looks so big (although I didn't change anything on the original outfit, it was the original size) and time before the release I was thinking on it because I don't like Shepard's chest size on ME3, to be honest I expected no one would like the resized chest with less breast, what a surprise :D.

So I resized the chest and eliminated the space between the breast, it took me 6 hours lol and it's not finished yet, I need to align some vertices because the texture on the chest looks a bit deformed but not much noticeable. Here's some pics (all from 3Ds, pics from the game soon, need fix some issues first :)):

 No more weird space but I need to smooth some vertices for the release.

Chest resized, now looks more natural but I think it still needs some resize from the top, need work on it.

Working in edged faces mode helps a lot for modeling, that was my mistake before and you should always work with that mode.

Wow, now it looks more like a shirt, isn't it? I'm happy with the result.

  The model with the diff texture. The texture on the remodeled body is a bit deformed where the weird space was, I need working on it.

Well, that was all, I hope I will release the new version soon without any problem.

Best regards :).

Things that I've to do

I have a lot of WIP things on my list and so little time available for it..!
Here's my list:
 - Virmire Survivors Non Combat Outfit Replacer:

The idea is replace the non combat outfit with my shirt mod.
Kaidan's oufit is a pain to change because he shares the same outfit as all alliance crew. This means that if you change Kaidan's outfit, all the men from the alliance crew (Normandy, Citadel..) would have the same outfit as him (included Joker and Cortez :D ), but well, is this or nothing :(. I've already put this in game and works fine.

Here's some pics showing the Normandy crew:
  Sexy Joker :D:

About Ashley's outfit, she doesn't share her outfit with anyone but the problem is this (she looks like silver surfer lol):
It seems the original outfit has a especial material attached for simulating that glow and don't know how to detach it yet, I should investigate it further, maybe the file needs hex editing to fix it.

UPDATE: Ok, I think I fixed this "silver issue" but now the outfit looks a bit dark and the arms shine in blue, Ashley's original outfit mysteries.. The blue shine seems to be because the original outfit it's not suppose to have skin and although I removed the specular map, the shine persist. I'm so close :/..
Thanks to Goha for the help :).


Other thing I want to do along with Kaidan's outfit is return his lashes (Bioware forgot his lashes on the way... ¬¬ ) like this:

But I have a lot of issues with this... and I'm unable to add opacity to the lashes' material plus lighting issues on his face:

This is how the lashes are without opacity, white with black background. (Poor Kaidan! XD)

More things:

- Remodel the weird space between the breast and the breast itself on my shirt mod to look more like a shirt (Ashley version will have this fixed too), this space:

I'm so bad at remodeling little things with 3Ds Max without deforming it, there must be something or a tool to prevent deforming all the mesh but I'm unable to find it, I only know the basics =(.

- Finish my Modded Formal Outfit mod:
The people want this finished but it has much work and I need a lot of time for this, specially with the bones because there are some issues that I have to fix first.

- Remodel a bit the Asari Dancer Outfit for the game to upload it along with my retexture (with this I have same issues as that weird space on the shirt).

- And finally, convert all my released mods to XPS ( First the shirt mod for sure :))

Hmm, Maybe I'll need a break after this :P .

 After two intensive days of fixing the issues from the shirt mod now it's finally finished!! the mesh issues were a pain to fix because when I fixed one thing other 321978231712389789312 things messed up but well it's finally done, sorry for the delay! mesh editing has a lot of work. Files Up!.

Install instructions inside the files.

The model is in beta version, some known issues:
- Some time weird shadows on the stripes appears in some angles but this is from the game.
- Neck in both versions with spiky lines in some angles and a bit clipping with the head but it's hardly noticeable, same with sleeves.
- The dogtags in MaleShep's version is a bit far from the neck to prevent a lot of clipping with the neck.
- The dogtags in MaleShep's version gets a bit clipping with the neck when Shepard bows his head, it's not much noticeable and can't fix it more.

I'm not a pro at retexturing but I've done what I could :D:
- N7 Shirt texture by me based on the original N7 Shirt from Bioware.
- Spectre Shirt texture by me based on the original Kaidan Armour Stripe Tee Shirt from Bioware and I made it for Kaidan exclusively but Shepard can have it too, why not?
- Alliance Shirt texture by me.
- Models and textures extracted from the game with Umodel by me.
Mass Effect game and characters are belong to Bioware.

Let me know if there are any issue or bug with the mod. I haven't tried the mod in all the game so I need testers :). I hope you like it and enjoy!!.

I'll upload the models for XNALara soon.
