By any chance could you do an alternate version with all black while keeping all the lettering? Can't seem to find one on the Nexus that keeps the original lettering like yours does. Nice attention to detail.
Why is there bright pink on one of his bags? I also noticed this same bright pink on at least one of your gun retextures. Is that intentional or accidental? Because I feel like it clashes.
I will look into it, when I'm home. Just on one bag you say? Normal I try to get the lights on the weapons in red and in this case on Vasco. But the game brights up the textures so much that I have to use an almost blackish red to get this darker red tone in the game. And yes, I think I made the blue lights just red, so the game made bright pink out of it.
I can see it in the 3rd picture you posted. The bag at the top. And I just want to mention that it’s not my monitor calibration that’s making it look that way. I checked on my phone, too. And like I said, I see the same color on some of the guns you’ve retextured. But — I’ve also noticed it on other textures that other authors have done. There was actually another gun retexture mod released yesterday, and the gun was meant to be red, but the picture they posted was more pink. So idk what’s going on.
Yes, you are right, I can see it! Like I said, I will look into it, probably make them just black. The thing is, how the color is displayed also depends on the surface. The Grendel has a matt metal, The Kodama has a high-gloss metal and the EON is polymer, I guess?. I use the same color tone for the textures on all of them and the color is displayed differently on each weapon due to the surface. Unfortunately, my current knowledge isn't enough to change the surfaces. The other option would be to adjust all skins manually, i.e. adjust one texture, start the game, examine the change, adjust again, start the game, and do the whole thing for each individual weapon until they are all the same. But my passion doesn't go that far, so I'll wait until I have a new idea or I have better opportunities to work on it, e.g. the release of the Creation Engine from Bethesda, maybe? Even that is something I will have to deal with first as I have never worked with it before. These are my first 2 mods for Bethesda games :)
Phew! I'm just glad you can see it, too. I was starting to wonder if I was crazy. Not a big deal. I still use your gun retextures. I've messed with textures in the past and I know what a pain in the butt they can be. I wish I could offer some advice, but I think it's been like 5 years since I've messed with textures, especially Bethesda's wonky textures, so I've slept since then and forgotten everything. Wonder if it's like riding a bike? I guess we'll see when the creation kit and stuff comes out!
Nice one, Vasco was a big missed customisation opportunity imo. Especially since we can see there's lots of other paint job avalaible for that bot model. +1 OP
