About this mod

A dark retexture of the default armor for Garrus

Requirements
Permissions and credits
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

I worked long time for this one. I had to make this up to 2048 version on my own ... so it's a lot of hours licking to the details with my tablet T .T

I removed again all that glossy/chrome shit everywhere. I mean, can you imagin garrus going sneaky with that shiny armor ?! The hell no ! Or may be devs meant him to blind enemies with his armor reflections ... 
Garrus is a damn sniper, His way is more to kill his preys hidden & stealthy, well at least more than James ! I know some people liked the chrome metal stuff reveling scratch and shit, but im sorry ... not onto that, garrus is not a car.

I added his nice "archangel" logo on shoulder plate & gave it a small silver/chrome texture (see ?! i kept some xD)

I also edited his head warpaint to be black (because if you know me, u know i hate blue)

His "turned off" visor is not included in this mod. If you like it on the screenshots, please stop by my other mods called "QuietVisors" for garrus

WARNING : HELMET NOT INCLUDED YET (v1.0) WORKING ON IT ASAP. (But for now it's not ugly with the vanilla one)

CONTENT SUMMED UP

-New colors arrangements (Darkish to fit my other BlackOps people/weapons) and no ... it's not a simple desaturated version of vanilla. Plenty new scales of grey's depending of each little armor part/jonction.
-Multiples tones of different steel to gain a more realistic aspect.
-TONS OF DETAILS ADDED EVERYWHERE, sharper local light and shadow (texture size gone to 2048x2048)
-Removing gloss glossy gloss everywhere !!! The end of the chromy garrus xD (srsly i hated that)
-Bouncy light lowered on steel parts
-Dark tones balanced
-Led lights number lowered, those remaining are larger and their light more sharp
-New "archangel" logo added on his shoulder plate. (reflecting light like silver :p)
-His war paint turned black
-New specular/alphamap

INSTALLATION TIPS (MANUAL ONLY)

Mass effect 3 is really a pain in the ass to mod. This might be my first and last one i think. Sorry if i don't give you any other way than a TPF installation.
Lucky me ME3explorer evolved well and it's just a texture update we are doing here !

0 : Completly shut down your game
1 : Take the last complete version of ME3explorer, install it & run it.
2 : Hit the green "TPF tool" (you might have to go for a Tex ride if there is no tree yet)
3 : now load my file : Load > LiaraBlackOps.tpf (wherever you put it)
4 : Hit the "Install Valid" button
5 : Close & now just to be sure, go for an "Autotoc & generate all tocs" ride (another tool)

ENjoy ! Im sure you will love it : D
