HAPPY N7 DAY 2023! Now let there be new headcanons.
Was Scott Shepard another clone, or a long-lost twin? Or was Andromeda a movie they made on the Citadel?
Requires Frosty 1.0.6.2 or higher.
Compatible with swap mods from Naked Crew and Model Swapping to replace Alec, Liam, Gil or Reyes.
I made this mod for my next playthrough. While I love Scott Ryder, I really want a different experience.
This mod replaces Scott Ryder's head with John Shepard's from Mass Effect 3, using AI upscaled face textures, and keeping the game's vanilla eyes for better compatibility.
As it also disables Scott's hair, any NPC with the same hair is affected.
I turned the original face model into a high-poly one in Blender. See the screenshot for reference.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make Scott's skin color match Shepard's yet, so any shirtless mod or nude mod made for male Ryder is not recommended.
The facial animation should be fine at most times. There may be models clipping (because some helmets don't fit his head) and other small issues. Hopefully these can be fixed in future updates.
UPDATES
V2.0
- Edited the face model and face textures;
- Edited Scott's body texture as well for Shepard;
- Edited the facial animation. I'm still learning Blender, but I believe the facial animation is good now;
- Finally added the eyelashes back because I'm satisfied with the facial animation;
- AI-upscaled the eye texture from ME3 and added it to the mod. Note it affects all human characters;
- Fixed the model clipping when wearing some helmets.
V2.1, 2.2, 2.3
- Remade the textures with new AI models to keep more skin details;
- Added Scott's face shine to Shepard's face;
- Fixed the eye color and eyelashes;
- Edited Scott's body texture again.
KNOWN BUG
- The normal maps aren't perfect. They're the vanilla ones from ME3. There's nothing I can do at the moment.
=========
I'd like to give my thanks to:
- Padme4000, Dimtrias, and dragqueenamidala here on Nexus.
- xinntao/Real-ESRGAN on GitHub for the AI image upscaler.
- SonYume from DeviantArt for extracting the models and textures from Mass Effect 3.
