This is my latest project which I decided to pursue after playing around with mesh replacements for a while.  I'm surprised I couldn't find anything like this already, honestly, since it seems like a sweet idea.  I'm not sure when I'll get around to finishing it but I definitely will eventually because I like the direction so far.

 

I used the original assets and upscaled them to 4096 and I used a few bits from smarteck's Aria T'Loak although I only thought to do that after I had done a fair bit of it  .  Right now this replaces Liara's CE alternate outfit but my goal was to make the color scheme match her default outfit and maybe I'll make a version that replaces her default.  I've barely touched the spec and normal maps so there is still a lot of work left to do.  The skin is not right quite yet and I'm sure the rest of the design will continue to change over time.

I've made a few updates which you can somewhat see in the image below.  The spec is pretty simple except for the red channel which  gives off an iridescent glow that shifts from red to blue.  Right now the normal is just a single filter so I can get a baseline before I start tweaking it more.  I'll probably wait on that until I settle on the diffuse because tweaking the normal is more arduous.

 

I also updated the skin to match the scalier skin from ThinkBlueN7's Asari skin mod.  The first metal near her collar also seems to clip into her neck slightly but it's not too bad.  If I can figure out how to fix it in the mesh I might do that.  Oh, the emblem on Liara's back is the sigil for Thessia.  I thought of putting the Shadow Broker sigil on there instead but it seemed weird to advertise herself as the Shadow Broker.  I might incorporate it more subtly into some other part of the design somewhere.

I decided to fix the collar clipping because it bothered me.  There is a little separation on the mesh but you can't see if Liara has her head.

I've created a version that replaces Liara's default outfit.  The spec and diffuse are slightly different between the two outfits even in format but they look very similar despite those differences.  The biggest one is that the default's specular map doesn't cause an iridescent glow in the red channel but just an even white glow.

 

I think I'm pretty close to an initial release for this project.  I do have an idea for a darker retex but that'll have to wait a bit.  Now I just need to figure out how to make a decent squad selection image out of this  .

 

Right now the mesh replacements are in the default PCC, the explore PCC, the NC PCC, and the Citsim PCC.  I think that's all of the replacements that need to be done, but let me know if there are more I haven't found yet.

 

Here is a preview of the default outfit replaced in the game itself:

I've finally uploaded the mod to the Nexus here.  Please let me know if you have any issues installing it or feedback in general.  I've tried to make it fairly easy (relatively speaking).

 

I'll probably do a darker retex of this at some point but I'm not yet sure when that will be... it'll depend on my workload and interest.

This looks pretty sweet. I'm gonna check it out. Thanks for doing this.

Thanks for checking it out!

 

Now I wanted to make a post because I updated the default replacer on the Nexus to affect more PCC files (there are no changes to the CE alternate replacer).  So please update to the latest version (v1.1) for that file.  It only changes the mesh MOD but you should reinstall the textures as well just to make sure everything is correct.  I've also updated the restoration file to undo changes if you want to uninstall the mesh modifications and revert to the defaults.

Thanks for the heads up. As it happens I haven't had the chance to install it yet, so I'll get the new version first.
