BLACKOPS MODS
"BlackOps" Retexturing is a theme i decided to embrace for most of my ME3 mods. The spirit is : sobriety, class, tactical features, stealth/dark, "realism" in a way and no "power rangers" multi-color anymore. If your eyes love it, you might found other mods i did on the same theme by writing BlackOps in the research bar.
DESCRIPTION
Now it's the turn of a sniper. I was really torn by this decision but ... the sniper i love the most to play is and will always be the black widow. But honestly guys, its design sucks donkey balls ! Seriously it was a damn challenge to try to make a greater good with these ugly shapes. I know what they wanted to do, something like the barret .50 obviously, but we are nowhere near the subtility of that awesome contemporary rifle's shapes and style.
To me, the best looking snipes (only regarding shapes) are : Raptor 1st place, and then Incisor, Krysae & viper. The rest look like shit. But these snips are far less fun : /
Anyway, still i play 80% of the time with Blackwidow, so i knew i had to do something ... you know. I spent like 5 days, raging on my free time to pull out some nice textures that make it better. I know it's still not perfect, and i already have some few improve ideas in mind but here it is ! and i hope you will appreciate it ! (because i broke my ass & my nights on that)
Sorry about the bad screenshots, they don't make justice of my work. Please try it to realize how it is (& make some backups) : D
CONTENT SUMMED UP
-Complete new colors arrangements (Dark grey & white stripes theme of mine)
-New textures
-Removing old patterns, markings and stripes
-Removing some screws to give it a more neat construction.
-Multiples tones of different steel to gain a more realistic aspect.
-Removing gloss everywhere
-Bouncy light kept on scope parts & barrel
-Bouncy light lowered on steel parts
-Bouncy light almost canceled on handle & weapon shell
-New White Paint patterns to match my other weapon mods
-New Gun serial number and factory name
-Some realist Weariness added everywhere paint handed during several hours ( T .T) that shit killed me
-Dark tones balanced (can be improved)
-Scope lens greenish because ... idk i liked it lol
-New specular
-New alpha map
SPECIAL THANKS & PERMISSIONS
Thanks to Deadmeat357 i had some basic texture to rely on. It's a base, but helped me hard time.
