About this mod

A dark retexture of the default armor for Edi

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 don't even know why i put so much effort in that character … i mean i almost never took her ! 
But as an artist, i think her design is beautiful, and somehow that's what pushed me through the hell of doing 2 big whole retexture …
 
First i never meantto retexture this specific armor of edi, but suddenly when i took a closer look at it, i thought "omg … there is definitly something cool to do here ! … these shapes could be some leggings, and there by inverting colors a sexy jerkin oh and ! look at that well divided hands parts, i could make a mittens feeling
pop up" So i worked my ass very hard to pull this out. And by letting this "skin" color of her more covered, at the right place, You have that feeling that edi wear a sexy suit, and could be "naked" beneath it. To sum this up ! you now really have a sexy Edi in her default armor. And By my objective opinion, it's a really awesome retexture im proud of it. 

WARNING 1 : HEAD NOT INCLUDED LIKE ON THE SCREENSHOTS, SEE MY OTHER EDI'S MODS !

WARNING 2 : Screenshots were from beta version (75% complete, without the nice alpha map rework), so it's will even be more beautiful than on these ! I just Didn't had time to do some new ones.


CONTENT SUMMED UP

-New colors arrangements (Darkish to fit my other BlackOps people/weapons) 
-Multiples tones of different steel to gain a more realistic aspect
-TONS OF DETAILS ADDED EVERYWHERE, sharper local light and shadows 
-Dark tones balanced
-New sexy features : what i was talking about in description.
-Shutting off led's : sorry, that was a real turn off for me. I am not fan of sparkling droids body ya'know. And no ! won't do a seperate file with them on.
-Logo erased : because fuck cerberus ! even more fuck everyone in me3 world ! You don't need a constant reminder of this serious shit if are lost in
your thoughts fantasizing about Edi's shapes haha !
-New specular/alphamap that makes details sharper (was a big rework)
-New Normal map : complete rework. If you like to look at assets, I will let you admire the 3hour handpaint (lol srsly) 1024x1024 new normal map, with smooth armor overlays limits (hips, thighs, shoulders,collarbone, neck, elbows, & several grooves). too bad that fucking bumpy forward bellybutton is a mesh issue, i find
that absolutly non aesthetic ! so at last ... i darkened it so we feel less its volume.

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
