Alternative Female Skin Textures

[Lumenia]

Heya Heroes'n Villains!

Before we start: this is not a NSFW mod.

 

I've begun a side project to update the base textures for human characters, starting with female skin textures. The style I am going for is more of a "toned" look than straight up muscular like the default skin texture, since most of my characters are magic origin and doesn't like throwing punches.
 

My goal is to start by adding some missing/outdated details onto the base skin texture without breaking the graphical immersion. The trial'n error nature of the procedure (editing a flat texture, compiling it back into the game to check for graphical errors, repeat) takes a while, so updates may take some time to arrive.
 

First version of the mod does not work with the full tights due to tights option using a different texture file. I'll add that into the mod sometime later. Other than that, it works with the majority of the costume parts!

 

You can get the mod with the City Mod Installer, or from this link: http://mods.cityofheroes.dev/mod/24

May 6 Update:

• Reworked upper chest area with a goal to define the cleavage to be more accurate with most of the top options.
• Reworked ribs to widen the stomach and rib crack.
• Added shadowing around pelvis area to emulate bumping. (Might have overdone it so it may look off with some of the bottoms. Ill look into it.)
• Added some detail to arms and shoulders while softening the muscles around the area.

December 17 Update:

• Redrawn midriff. In my opinion this implementation looks better under most of the map lightings.
• Erased the extra detail on the upper chest as it looked funky with the skin tight clothing.
• Redrawn clavicle. It should look significantly more detailed now.
• Pushed the butt shadowing down as it was drawn in the wrong position.
• Redrawn the back detail. Overall it shouldn't look as aggressive as before and the spine should look better and more accurate under lighting.

---

December 24 Update:

• Finally(!) drew the knees and the kneepit.
• Softened the details on the midriff so they should be blending properly with all of the skin colours now.
