I found out how to enable emission (glowing parts) via LUTs a few days ago, and thought this would be a cool way to showcase the possibilities. Since this is kind of just a glorified tech demo... Please don't expect me to make any major updates/changes to this.
Still, do have fun with it! I didn't expect this to get more than a few dozen downloads, but I guess this is now one of the first mainstream LUT edits with glowing parts, neat!
Shoutout to CastrataroDawg for the idea, and the Helldivers 2 modding community on Discord for the LUT editing tools and a lot of the initial know-how.
Quick FAQ for questions/requests I expect this to get.
Q: Why do the eyes look weird? (In armory, loadout select, superstore, or in general.)
A: In the armory, superstore, and loadout select screens, Helldivers 2 doesn't show bloom (that's the effect that makes the glow, glow!). If you're not seeing the glow properly in missions or on the superdestroyer, it's because you have bloom turned off in the settings. (this problem exists with the Killzone collab helmet as well)
Q: Can you please do "X" edit?
A: Sorry, no. This isn't my main focus, and is just a showcase of recent findings from the HD2 modding community.
Q: How do I make these kinds of edits myself?
A: The information to do these kinds of edits is freely available on the HD2 Modding Discord if you're willing to learn, or want to submit mod requests.
One reason I could see for why it wasn't added is because players can pick out automatons from afar because of their eyes, it'd lead to friendly fire. Still, I do agree that it looks cool.
