I have a question. Are you gonna keep updating this mod with some fixes?
I played the full game with Chris, Jill and Carlos only. I heard about Jill and saw the animations in some scenes were not so good plus Chris a bit at the beginning like the sun or the lightinig makes the face with a bug.
So if you are gonna update it, then I'm gonna wait for a fresh version of them...
It is difficult getting the facial animations to work in Dark Pictures since the facial structure relies on blendshapes(I don't know if that's a known term for you, let's just say that it was a complete setback than what I was used to when modding Resident Evil).
I am sorry that the facial animations are not perfect for you. I tried making them more appropriate but the capabilities are limited when it comes to custom faces in this game and when I originally attempted to stretch Carlos' jaw so that the mouth is on level with Nick's original mouth position, well...that just made him look worse. It surprises even me how Chris seems to look fine except his eyes squinting weirdly at some places.
Thus I can't promise that I could improve this at any time. Since these blendshapes issues are far out of my league.
About this issue with the buggy face in sun and lighting. Could you maybe provide a screenshot, where and when this is exactly happening?
And I apologize if this was not the answer you were hoping for. At this point in time I distanced myself from Dark Pictures and returned my focus mostly on Resident Evil again.
I was just wondering to make some RE story like RE3R post-main story DLC of some sort with Chris, Jill and Carlos. With re-voicing the cast from RE characters and montage the story to shape it more close to RE lore with a different soundtrack maybe in mind. Also add something else. Cause it's not the first time I do something like that.
About the sunlight bug maybe on Chris's face I can send in private message if you like. Also with Jill and all that I can manage with what I have since I don't need the full game characters set to cover for RE story.
I just noticed your mod since the beginning of this year and haven't in mind something until now.
And that's why I asked you if some new updates will be added here or not.
To me Carlos was the most perfect here lol.
Surely better than Jill but Jill is better in the caves and the gameplay when face impressions her seems normal
Chris yeah, the eyes on some scenes can be noticed.
I did complete the full game with the mods I need and I only wonder if there is any update will be and if not then I can work with what WE have here.
I can manage I think
I'm sure will credit you as well, so don't worry about it
I'm not going to dig into modifying something and surely ain't planning something else at this point. Since I got zero skill in Dark Pictures engine unlike RE engine a bit.
So...it's been a while but I'm back and currently in the process of making patches for all my Dark Pictures-Mods.
This one is part of it. However the adjustments are closely minimal. I may improve their faces a bit but I can't promise that much difference will be seen. This update is mostly orientated to reflect the changes I made in the recent mods I have updated to this point in terms of material changes. Some little things I overseen may also be taken care of like Rachel's glasses clipping through Jill's face.
Chris' lighting issue on the face may be fixed once the update is ready and perhaps his facial animations will also improve. I cannot promise it however.
Unfortunately my Blender Project Files were lost during a hard drive crash making it a bit more difficult to improve the meshes since I kept backups of every mod state. I can however work with the files from the already finished versions.
I thought I'd keep you updated on this matter in case you are wondering.
