About this mod

More Character Portraits adds 202 new vanilla-friendly character portraits to the game.

Optionally includes replacements for vanilla portraits, and many additional portraits for Dassault-Mikoyan Engineering, Diable Avionics, Interstellar Imperium, ScalarTech Solutions, the Star Federation, the Roider Union, and United Pamed / Xhan Empir

Permissions and credits
More Character Portraits adds 202 thematically-appropriate portraits to the game for both the player and the various game factions to select from.


These portraits are distributed as follows:

  • 26 new HEGEMONY portraits
  • 18 new SINDRIAN DIKTAT portraits
  • 18 new TRI-TACHYON portraits
  • 16 new PERSEAN LEAGUE portraits
  • 24 new LUDDIC CHURCH / LUDDIC PATH portraits
  • 60 new INDEPENDENT portraits
  • 40 new PIRATE portraits


Unless otherwise stated, the portraits for More Character Portraits were primarily created by kitbashing vanilla Starsector portraits (i.e. swapping heads with armor, etc) and then stitching the composites together using Stable Diffusion (AUTOMATIC1111) via the img2img process to create derivative images, with post-process editing in Photoshop (color tone, resizing, adding additional details, etc) to create the final versions included within this pack.


Method #1: Kitbashing




Method #2: img2img Recycling




If you would like to attempt this style of portrait creation yourself, a text file with the checkpoint model, VAE, and an example prompt (etc) are included in the download file, along with a 512x512 size .png file for importing into Stable Diffusion.

CREDITS:

Of the 202 portraits in the main pack, 52 images from other portrait packs were used as a base or as a source of parts for kitbashing.

These packs are as follows:

2 x images from: Battletech Portrait Pack (by Chozo / Harebrained Schemes)
4 x images from: Immersion Friendly Portrait Pack (Red) (by Kwenchin)
9 x images from: Interesting Portrait Pack (by Interestio)
43 x images from: Starsector Portr-Ai-t Pack and Ai Model (by Severian Void)

Special thanks to Fractal Softworks artist David Baumgart, without whom there would be no portraits to begin with.

No images from other portrait packs have been used in the add-on packs.
(please don't saturation bomb me)


USAGE:

Please feel free to use these portraits as a source to create your own portraits, or for use in your own mod (where permitted).

However, as the majority of these portraits are derivatives of vanilla Starsector portraits, please do not use them for mods for other games.
