I can think of a reason why some people may encounter that blotchy skin syndrome. Alot of us play at far lower resolutions than you because of hardware limitations and such. Your anti-aliasing is ridiculously good for example. Assuming that most people don't run the game on high-end machines, you have to factor in what's the general level of experience for people with mid-range to low-range machines.

Hmm...fair enough.  Tell you what; I have to go to class for the next 4 hours or so, but when I get back I'll try and tweak the higher resolution texture to remove that "blotchy" appearance that you guys are seeing.  If the tweaks don't work, then I'll simply release a version of the mod with her original face texture.

Fair deal?

That sounds like a very good message for the minute I come in. Thanks.

BTW, I don't have an exactly low-range machine, though it is three years old, and I play in 1920x1200 with everything enabled that the game lets me enable, but no .ini tweaks or suchlike. My opinion is also not only about what's in my game.  Compare your screenshot quoted above Yannkee's long sequence on the previous page with Yannkee's first screenshot in that sequence. I think in Yannkee's screenshot Miranda looks much more beautiful and not at all creepy or unnatural, and in yours she looks as if she had freckles.

Most of that comes down to the ini tweaks that Yannkee's using. 

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of disabling DOF and the other tweaks he did, but that just comes down to personal preference.  With his tweaks, textures take on more of an "airbrushed" tone as opposed to the detailed look that's present in my images.   Also, I assure you that those aren't freckles, just subtle variations in skin tone

Either way, I'll see what I can do to mitigate the problem when I return from class.

I didn't respond at all. These are two responses to the idea that her sex appeal weakens her. I just collected them. I do wish she'd actually used her appeal as a weapon.

And she'd be damn good at it too.  She even says to Shep that her looks are part of what gives her an edge over other people, and Miranda's a pragmatic person.  She'd definitely use every advantage she has to succeed.

Alright folks, here is my revised version of Miranda's face (now with smoother skin, yet still high in detail).









What think?

[9to82td]

Excellent JeanLuc761!

Looks great to me can't wait to see it in game !
(with forced AA, AF and maybe DoF disabled)

Yes, that's much improved!

I'm still not sure if I like your version or Yannkee's better. Do you have the scene where she whispers in Shepard's ear for comparison? Though Depth-of-Field switched off may screw with the results. Heck, I've never paid as much attention to Miranda's skin texture, and my own screenshots use less detail, so I can't use them for a comparison.

I can get that screenshot for you.  Removing DOF does screw up the results though, so it's not a fair comparison.

I think I do prefer your version. I'd still like to have a look at that screenshot, since I'm very familiar with the scene.

Works for me
I'll upload the revised version for those who want it, and post the download in the textures thread.

[Ieldra]

Many thanks. Especially for catering to the eccentric tastes of this thread.

For those that missed it (or couldn't afford it) Bioware are now doing mini lithos of the limited ed ones from last month at the store, $10 a time.

I saw.  DO WANT

[JeanLuc761]

Due to popular request, I've created a revised version of Miranda that restores some of the smoothness to her skin, but still retains the high detail in the original mod. This will not replace the mod already uploaded, but it is an alternative for those who want it.

Grr...still no news on that damn dlc...now I'm stuck at watching videos of Thane's romance as well as Miri's romance on YouTube...and writing that Miri/Tali/Jack/Almost Every Female Character friendship fic while waiting for my writers block to clear so I can start writing Moments of Love again. :=(

Just got one, pretty happy.

[MsSihaKatieKrios]

So is that mini litho just a pint sized clone of the original?

Very nice work. Much better than the one I didn't like.

JeanLuc - to echo what Ieldra said - thank you for going that extra length to cater to our tastes. Kudos!
