Yeah and she also voices Aria. Just to be clear though I wasn't intentionally going for any resemblance since I think it's a bit questionable to use actual people as face models like this, but if they look a bit more alike now it's cool :-)
Why do you find it questionable to use actual people as face models? Just curious, no shade to your opinion. Is it because they don’t always look right? Like Miranda’s doesn’t look completely like Yvonne Strahovski, Kaidan even less compared to his face model and Sarah Ryder looks very different to hers.
I meant it in the context of modding mostly :D sorry if my wording sounded confusing (english isn't my first language). It's different on the dev side since they've paid to use those people's faces for the models. I also don't think I could really do justice to the real person, I'm not that skilled at sculpting faces so I wouldn't want to do it because of that either. I do remember what she looks like though so even if I wasn't using references it's possible I was pulling inspiration from there too, it just wasn't intentional. I really just wanted Aria to look a bit more realistic though :D
But I won't be telling others what to do, dw! I know not everyone feels the same way. And there's also a difference between being inspired by someone's looks and actually using their face as a direct reference, I think.
Oh that makes a lot of sense, thanks for explaining. I’ve always wished BioWare had used Carrie Anne Moss’s face for Aria. I feel her default face is too flat with a weird tiny nose. You’ve made her look so much more realistic and it’s a happy coincidence she looks more like the voice actress to me. I also love what you’ve done with Aria’s body type, I think it fits so much better with her character.
Thank you! And yeah I initially made this mod for personal use but now I can't play without it anymore, so I thought I could release it in case someone else might enjoy it too :)
No but people here have a habit of picking fights about this topic so it's not always easy to tell if a question like this is genuine or not, and I don't want that to happen here. It's nothing personal, I just wanted to be clear that this is not a topic I'm going to argue about. Sorry if I sounded rude.
Looks pretty. Can we get a comparison of the vanilla vs modded outfit to see how her outfier became "beefier"? or if it's not possible, describe to us what exactly was changed. Thanks
I can try to take a blender comparison pic later but in short her arms and shoulders are thicker as well as the whole upper torso, and I reduced the boob size so the silhoutte would look more even. I also reshaped her hips and waist so she'd be less "hourglass" shaped, thickened her thighs slightly and modified the boots to be flatter (since I really dislike how every female character in the series is forced to wear high heels). Honestly I think I could've gone further than this but I'm very busy these days and wanted to release the mod this year, so this is essentially just the first version of the mod.

Also please don't reply if you plan to start arguing about this, I will not engage on this topic and always delete rude comments here.
I simply asked a question. :(
