Permissions and credits


This pack kinda snowballed. I originally wanted to make an Alfred over Shujinko. Alfred is DOPE. I spent a few days learning about hair opacity and being able to leverage that to have better looking glasses, mustache, etc. This was really cool to learn and he came out so much better once this was accomplished. I wrote a guide about those findings on discord which you can find here.

Next came Batman and overcoming Cape's without physics. That was a nightmare and it looks OK in game and kharacter select but some of the victory poses got weird. Tried a bunch of different ways... After that Joker introduced wrinkles and face texture issues! Lots of learning... I learned thanks to TC9 about how if your character has wrinkles_D textures, they will overcome your re-textured face randomly so you need to replace those as well. Cat woman was also crazy difficult since the original model contained 55 materials. I had to bring that down to 1 or 2 which caused numerous issues. Opacity also doesn't come out when utilizing RMA textures so that had to be modified. I added the model below so hopefully if anyone wants to give it a go they can do it more justice than I did! I never care if anyone does a similar or exact mod, please go for it and make any of these look better. 

This was a great learning experience and each mod presented it's own set of unique challenges. My apologies on some of the issues they may each have. I will do my best to be transparent below so you know what to expect. Thanks for playing and enjoy.

Mods
Batman over Smoke's 001 Skin
Alfred over Shunjinko's 001 Skin

New Obstacles
- Cape's without physics
- Opacity textures for glasses, hair, etc
- High poly models with 55+ materials
- Face distortion on re-textured faces like Joker due to wrinkles
- Petite bodies that also need to hide the head in the suit like cat woman
- Using RMA Textures to simulate the latex shine

Known Bugs
Alfred
   - Very minor neck clipping around the collar. Tiny though
Joker
   - None
Batman
   - Cape physics are not a thing for smoke so it had to be manually painted to follow the body. Looks good most of the time except for victory poses where he is doing something goofy. ANY TIPS ON THE CAPE ARE WELCOMED!
   - Cape solidify refused to block light from behind the character. Slight after glow on edges from behind it.
Catwoman 
   - 55 materials brought down to 1 caused obvious lost of quality.
   - Neck is very tightly hid in the costume. Clipping occurs during exaggerated movements. Sorry about that! Things like the intro taunts, fatalities and brutalities show the clipping more. 
   - Haven't worked with a small body like hers. The weight paint deformed the arms around the armpit. I tried to correct this but it caused bigger issues. Even with having the original Kitana body on a different monitor and going through each vertex group still displayed weird. Happy to provide anyone with the blender files if they are interested in picking up with a near complete version of this.
