I am back from a hiatus , V5 Bastila is coming soon I would like to share some changes it brings with:
Textures: -A redone skin texture , with natural Skin Colour instead of pale -Redone eyes textures that are more realistic (Closer to Bastila Stock Original game model , and other optional eye colours) -Tone down the overdone makeup for a more natural look realistic look -Tone down the overdone Freckles and wrinkles
Models: -Improve Nose Shape making it more realistic -Remodelled High Poly Teeth -Remodelled High Poly Tongue -Adjusted Face Proportions -Optional Decor Props (Piercings , ribbons and flower)
Thank you for your feedback and critiques. it has helped improve the project more.
I'm looking forward to version 5 ;-) only major downside is that the rest of the game looks even more outdated by comparison.
But I did notice that certain parts of the model don't cast a shadow. The eyebrows also float just above her face, but I'm guessing you knew about that. Thanks so much for the excellent model and all the updates!
Late reply obviously but frankly I thought her old "style" was more realistic to my eye, just needed smoother modeling and better textures. this looks a little more doll-ish to me. anyway I want to live where 50 year-olds look like that. touch grass buddy
Well she is 20 something years old and now she looks middle aged, that is not realistic. Her boobs are saggy, her nose is weird, she has wrinkles (a 20 year old definitly doesn't have those), she is missing her big but still natural looking lips and she has the chin of an old hag. She was clearly uglified on purpose.
By the way just google "hollywood celebs age 50", plenty of them look like this (not horrible not great). I would be ok with this mod if it was renamed to "Older Looking Bastila" or something, because the title is very misleading.
TIL "ultra-realistic" means pointy boobs and pointy face. Different strokes, I guess (texture work is nice though, I just like Bastila's original look and thought this would just improve it without making her look like a totally different person)
Nice mod. I think the hair is particularly well done.Please adjust the head width to the standard body models.Otherwise the head will look like it's been chopped off. This doesn't just apply to underwear but also to the slave outfit on Taris and the dark Jedi robe on Rakata and the Star Forge.Thank you
Hello, thanks for your work, this mod is really nice. For information, i'm having this issue (see image). I guess this is because some files must be conflicting in my overide folder. I had Fen's - Bastila Corrupted installed first, and I have overwritten files that prompted when I installed your mod. Thank you again
thanks for the reply i think the conflict is due to the scripts and setting for characters that fen uses in the corrupted version for instance: (as these files below set textures for the head based on dark side points , I should have put a disclaimer to recommend a clean installation)
(if possible if you find it of course (appearance.2da)
if you have that in override try taking it out of the folder (keep it as a backup) , then try launching the game.
though I could be wrong as judging from the image , it looks like a transparency alpha issue with the rendering, which I'm not sure how to solve in that regard.
As an experienced modder, I give my expert opinion.1. The mod is far from perfect.2. Pros of the new model: new hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, smooth nose.3. Cons:3.1. I think the texture is unsuccessful.3.1.2. I don’t understand why the resolution is 5952x5952. It’s not visible in the game anyway, a waste of game performance.3.1.3. Where it’s not needed, a lot of noise and dirt, where it’s needed, it’s heavily smoothed.3.1.4. Bastila has blue eyes, small pupils make her look crazy.3.2. Cons of the model3.2.1. Eyes are set far apart.3.2.2. Her mouth is always open, making her seem dim-witted.3.2.3. Unnatural movement of the breasts.3.2.4. The joints of the sleeves and shoulders have transparent gaps.3.2.5. There are transparent tears under the chest and on the chest. 3.2.6. At the back, the neck protrudes above the clothes.
Thank you for your feedback there a vast amount of issue noted and will be address in a future updates, ill add it to my current To do list I have already noted: -close her mouth -add eyelids -fix neck collision issue with collar -lower texture res to be more optimised
The model is getting better. The eyelids need a different texture, not the texture of the eye. The inner part of the lip should be repainted. And a face peel wouldn't hurt. These texts were made earlier for personal use.
Next update will address , shadows issues , adjust mouth shape so it more flushed closed , additional detail with eyes , improvement in colour grading , texturing.
ill be giving you permission to make your own retextures for my bastila (though models are not to be reuploaded , so make this mod a requirement if go down that path, next update will add you to list of permissions)
thank you for your feedback and consideration , appreciate it!
-Added Eyelids so she not staring into your soul anymore.
-Loads of new colour outfits options. ( Created by eudodo , with permission to modify and upload them as long as I link back: https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/1353 ) , see evidence in mod files.
-Removed Tearing of body "features" as that wasn't immersive enough
-Adjusted colour pallet so she slightly less saturated and more darker.
Thanks for update. I have suggestion regarding next update. At some moments original Bastila (for example while she's about to fight or when we press "x") her face is clearly getting angry. You may try to do similar thing with your Bastila model.
This is absolutely incredible. She looks amazing. The eyes might be a little bit odd from certain angles, but outside that I absolutely believe this right here is the best thing for KOTOR. I really hope you'll do the same for KOTOR 2. All characters deserve this level of love, this is just... wow.

There is a problem with the shadow.
