Yeah I'll get on that, those outfits are on the planning already.

Sonofa****! Imageshack is censoring my pictures! Pictures I've uploaded to share here have been selectively deleted by Imageshack! Simple images of my edits of EDI's butt to reduce the crack or my edits to eliminate the mesh portion of the ****** are being blocked!

People, boycott or DO NOT USE Imageshack. Can someone recommend another site that wont be so f**king stupid?

Imageshack does that, it keeps corrupting certain images but not others for me. I wonder if it's just a server issue for them, because for me it's seemingly random. It'll let me preview images previously uploaded and linked, but the large version magically gets corrupted. I have to throw it away and reupload it and it's fine, but feck me if I know what's causing it. I have it happen to all kinds of images.

In therms of alternatives, I use imageshack singularly for thumbs functionality, only for my thread ><
If you don't care about that functionality I'd suggest abload.de, it doesn't resize your images and handles a 4mb single image size limit. It's in german but you can google translate. It's quite stable.

For my images, the only ones seemingly affected are images that zoom in on the crotch or butt of my edited characters, implying to me that they are censoring it, or it would occur randomly and not simply (and magically) affect only those images. I'm switching to flickr and have complained to Imageshack. They apparently are children.

This is the original EDI mesh.  Sadly, she suffers her clothes ridding up her crack.  I've fixed ths and pulled her "pants" out of her butt for her.

New butt:

The texture file still makes it look like she's got butt-thong pants but it is nowhere near as severe as it was.  She can thank me later.:P

I'll try and reduce it a bit more.  Because of the way the vertices are setup in some of these tight places it is not always a simple thing to smooth them out.  It would be better to add some vertices but that is a no-no at this point.

Minus is great, I use it for game screenshots and it does not butcher the images like imgur. Abload is great for posting images without account, dunno how well it does albums and stuff.

That modified butt looks better!

It's kind of odd but the image produced from my modified mesh looks better than the original mesh and texture. The lighting is better and the texture just appears better mapped. At least on my screen.

@Tup3xi: Abload has a nice interface in therms of gallery's etc. Just need to use google translate is all. It's my main site.
@Getorex: Spotted that in those comparison pics, weird. But cool heh.

I'm now finally getting it figured out how to apply the textures to the models in Blender too (my preferred editing tool). Hopefully I'll be able to post textured images from now on.

So...here's a foot shot of my default Ashley uniform edit.  I changed her feet and her boots from hooves with weird heels to something more approximating a human foot wearing a boot:

The texture for the heel/sole of the boots would need to be fixed IF this edit can make it into the game.

German language in this case wouldn't be an issue at all to me. Just can't be arsed to make another account so I've never checked that part out. =P

I run into weird issues with Blender lately. Either it doesn't like dual GPU's or it doesn't play nicely with W8 yet. It was pretty unusable with few weird issues. Could have been driver issue or something... Need to check it out again at some point.

More of my Ashley edits in color (mostly...I didn't yet extract her hair or eye textures). First, her romance body:

And her default uniform. In all cases her breasts are smaller, hips are narrower, butt is smaller, and I gave her a little lat muscle enhancement (in her romance body I had to fix her posture):

OK, I just cannot find it. I'm looking for the hair and eyes for Ashley and Allers and Miranda in Texplorer but I cannot find anything appropriate. The only hair I find for Ashley isn't correct. It appears green-tinted and is not a contiguous hair, but appears to be vertical hair samples. Where's her hair? Where's Allers? It drives me nuts that Texplorer uses a totally different name convention on files than meshplorer and other parts of ME3exp.

Some work on Allers (I haven't found/extracted her face/head/hair texture yet). I think the edits make her MUCH less...freaky looking and much more...interesting.  Also, until now I hadn't noticed how TRULY tight her skirt was such that you can see panty lines, etc.  The skirt is literally painted on.  The panty lines and wrinkles, of course, are entirely part of the texture and are not reflected in the mesh.

 Ottemis: It is because of you that I kept going to figure out how to finally get textures to render in 3ds Max and Blender.  I'm very glad I did.  Besides breathing life into the meshes, I am also able to see some texture wrapping glitches here and there on my edits that I can then fix.

Oewwww, one of my pet peeves lol. There's only so much you can cover up through the textures alone =o

All this looks amazing, really admire the effort put into it. If I may make a personal comment, I hope you take a look at the femShep dress at some point. I really miss femShep having a tad more upper body strength like with the Kasumi dress in ME2 :-)

I will, no worries.  I've been working with characters I have direct experience with in-game.  I've never seen femshep beyond a few screenshots here or clips at youtoob.  I also have her dress/body mesh from ME2, the Kasumi loyalty mission, that Tup3xi directed my way.  I've worked it but it is not yet clear whether I will be able to put it into ME3.  I can certainly take a look at existing ME3 femshep bods and tweak those too.

I definitely agree with you here! I feel like femshep has stick arms with barely any muscle in ME3.

But anyway, I love the work that is being done here and I'm excited to see the rest of the edits

Geotorex, you are an inspiration and hero.  Keep up the amazing work!

At this rate, we'll have ME3 so tweaked and fix'd it'll almost be unrecognizeable from the Vanilla game.

Or as I like to call it:  "The Bethesda Effect"

I almost think I need to throw some cold water on everyone. I'm doing all this in the hope that it isn't, ultimately, a waste of time. I do all this because I too REALLY want to make these changes to the game and HOPE that with Alcatraz's help it will be actually possible to get them into the game. In theory these should work but I first have to hear back from Alcatraz (indicating that his computer is alive and working again) and know he is still helping :)

Is there any chance you could do a mod to give Ashley this hair? I like it a lot more than her ME3 hair

Oh and perhaps a mod to get rid of the fart vent in the underwear

The "hair" you see her isn't actually hair.  It is a texture that is part of her scalp texture file to fill in underneath her real hair.  It really doesn't look very good if you get a good look at it plus it is just a bit TOO short.  As for the butt panel...that is an easy texture mod.  I filled it in myself with gimp just the other day.

There's actually already a mod to restore her old ME1 bun:
