About this mod

Adds a near perfect recreation of the Batman Arkham City suit.

V2.5
I redid the PBR in UE for the body to give more accuracy, it's pretty much exactly 1:1 now even down to super small details, where as before it was a close 1:1 but certain areas lacked certain things. Along with the PBR being more accurate, it also doesn't get entirely destroyed by the rain fx anymore either thanks to both it being done much more properly along with the rain uv itself being better. The cowl mesh also was edited to have a better eye shape and reduced clipping so he now looks angry as normal. Overall visually it looks quite similar, although some of the finer details are much better and I think it makes a good difference.

I also fixed the strings issue with the showcase so that now the blue variant will not override the black one.

The entire suit now has updated textures which were pulled from another mod by GPUnity, he made them so all credit goes to him. They really add a lot of depth to the suit and make everything pop a lot more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aarpQrujVkw go check out the mod there.

I've completely redone the cowl mesh. The overall design of it matches City's look nearly exactly and I really love how it turned out, it even has a slightly custom morph so that the mouth of the cowl could be widened. On top of that I redid the super wacky mesh normals it had to be way better so now the seam around the cowl is completely invisible. Also have redone the PBR for it to be 1:1 with City's featuring a custom baked on specular map remade to be exactly like City's featuring the lovely grainy look it had.

The cape is once again my favorite part of this suit, I completely revamped the speculars for it adding the same graininess from City custom baked with a near fully custom specular made in UE. It really mimics the same look that the original has.

To wrap it all up Wastelander was generous enough to make a black version as well which can be installed at the same time as the regular one.

So to start off, this mod pretty much recreates the entire material idea that Arkham City's suit was going for. The PBR maps I've made by hand to really closely imitate that of Arkham City's specs. The symbol is just as metallic and rough as it is and the gauntlets and knuckles even have the same subtle brushed steel like reflections to them. This isn't simply a reskin of the Asylum mesh either as it features the proper body mesh from Arkham City as well as an edited cowl to better match both AK Bruce's face and the proportions of the AC cowl.


My absolute favorite part of this mod which really make it complete for me is the cape. It has translated normals and a translated mask straight from Arkham City to make it the exact same shape while gliding. On top of that what really makes it just pop is the custom cape shading. As a wise man (IceMage) told me, "Imagine silk....But now imagime cloth thats not silk...Now imagine leather..that's wet, burnt, and full of magma.....It's not only ashes, but wet ashes...that is clayface. Clayface=Aniso." True story btw. So long story short he helped me get a good foundation for the cape to then tweak to make basically perfectly imitate that of AC's super harsh shadowing using some custom aniso shading. I personally absolutely love the effect it gives.

As for the cowl. Whoever at Rocksteady fitted the cowl to AK Bruce sucks at their jobs, I widened it a bit, tucked in the double chin he had, and then made the ears a similar length and shape to that of City's.


Anyways I hope you all enjoy this mod, I'm glad I was able to hit my release window of Christmas Eve/Christmas.
