Sigh.. the opportunity to make Miranda's ass bigger.. and its made smaller.

:( lol

In all serious though, this is neat.  I wonder if any mesh modders will make a body for mass effect 3 femshep based on Skyrim/Fallout's type 3?  That would be pretty badass.

OK, I have finished a mod that includes Ashley's romance mod with topless texture, and the Hospital tshirt mod with texture. This was built and (apparently) successfully with SVN 473. That is the version to use, not the old one, NOT 472. It is in the OP.

Don't forget her boobs. Her boobs are smaller too!

You've not seen a texture application problem sofar after the mesh application?
I'm close to being free to test it, just testing one of my own repacks atm and it's taking a while to apply.

Aight, did a PCC and .MOD mesh replacement and texture mods work fine afterwards, I'd say the 473 is completely functional.

Am trying to replace EDI's default body with a clothed version using a different clothing texture than otherwise available (EVA's) and am having an issue with the texture's specular (I think):

Anyone have ideas/instructions on how to fix the glow?

Did you try EDI's Outfit From Ashes DLC?

Because she already has that one I wanted to give her a slightly different uniform so they would all be slightly different.  The same specular is used for all of them and that's what I started with here but then I darkened the specular and toned down the colors and tried that...same result (what you see here IS with the darkened and toned-down specular).  I may try a plain black specular image.

Hmpf. I may have to bag the attempt to change EDI's head into a close replica of EVA's, at least for now. The shape is easy but getting it textured is not. EDI doesn't have enough texture slots available to do it right (she's one short of what is truly required) and since I cannot ADD an additional texture assignment to a pcc I cannot properly get the new head textured. I've tried altering the eyelash texture by adding a small hair texture out of the way of the eyelash meshes (all female characters use the same eyelash texture basis) so it wouldn't show up but the eyelash texture is small to begin with that the hair texture has to be a fraction of that size to fit inside the eyelashes. It would have to replace the eyelash texture for ALL females and this might end up with undesireable side effects.

Aw, well thanks for trying at least!

Do you have any textured images of the mesh so we can see what might have been?

Not yet.  I was close but had to take a few steps back due to an error on my part somewhere.  I am playing with it one more time to see where I can get and if it works fairly well in Blender then I'll take a shot.

Sorry to but in. But you wouldn't happen know any good texture mapping tutorials?

Not really...just the basic one at the ME3Explorer website. But that isn't likely what you are looking for. http://me3explorer.f...st796.html#p796

That sounds great, sir! Again, thanks for giving it a shot! :)

In the meantime, I got a couple bug reports for you. I used SVN to upgrade my ME3explorer to 473, so I was able to install the mods without trouble.

Ash's hospital mod successfully integrated the texture and mesh of her shirt, but look at what happened to her skin:

And I gave the updated romance mod a try. Ash's face is back to normal, but her bra is still there, which seems to be a result of the game rejecting the torso. Take a look at these two images:

Not sure what to make of this, but it seems like the arms and torso are having trouble adjusting to the mod.

First looks like the spec was put in the diffuse's place. Second looks like the normal map in the wrong format atleast.
Here's the 473 hospital texture.

Ah for hell's sake. Thank you Ottemis. Those textures are a pain for me (hospital and romance). I'll try the romance one again on my system to make sure it is working and then make the mod yet AGAIN.

Also, I'll try the Ashley romance mesh (again!) but with smoothing groups baked in.  The sharp line between parts (at the seams) keeps popping up.  I'll try and eliminate that.

Otherwise send me a PM and i'll take a look at the romance textures. I just can't test them ingame, I have no save for it.

Omega Torsk (and everyone else): the romance ashley mesh has some gaps in the seams of her body (used to delineate UV maps for texture mapping). It will take me a bit but I am closing the seams and this SHOULD eliminate the clear distinction between body parts when she is textured. When she is fixed I'll update the mod again.

OK...I've spent time closing seams as much as I can.  It SHOULD reduce the clear lines in the texture between body parts (should, not absolutely certain).  I'll be passing it through 3ds to reskin and bone it and then UDK and then into my pcc for testing.  About 30 minutes from now I shouid know if it is mod-worthy.

Finally. I have just posted a (hopefully) revamped romance Ashley mod...included in the Ashley-hospital-romance mod. Includes Ottemis' hospital texture and topless texture for romance Ashley. I sealed up most of her seams so (hopefully) the texture rendering will be smoother and cleaner.

OK...going back to plain vanilla install (repair install) and then going to recreate the Ashley romance mod as there appears to be a glitch with the texture otherwise. I'll update here and in the OP when I get it all done.

Ugh. Temporarily stalled. I have tried a repair on my ME3 game and then deleted a bunch of files that I've modded just in case and did the repair again. I keep getting a "bad zlib block" error when I try to rebuild the tree in Texplorer. No tree, no texture mods (to go with the Ashley romance mod). Plus I simply cannot try other textures with some mesh model replacements because...no tree, no Texplorer. When/if I can get around the error I will update the mods and move on (still want to get an Ashley default uniform change through but I MUST be able to play with textures).

This has a very ME sound to it.  One of my favorite selections from the Oblivion soundtrack (movie):
