About this image

Texture base belongs to another user. Will not release if they do not want me to. 

Very early into working on it. I need to fix any discrepancies with the hair's color and do normal map stuff so he can actually look a good bit older. Also need to fix up his beard since that was probably the sloppiest texture work I've ever done.

Will have a Venom Snake version that can optionally be over the Avatar so he wears a beret.

    It remains now to add it to the rest of the mods for download and can be tested in the game on any version.

    I actually like this and would use it. Kinda like if Old Boss from 4 was able to do s#*! like he used to.

    Thank you for doing this! I have been posting requests for a mod like this for ages! This mod would essentially just be the original venom snake model but with white hair. A small change, but would love to have the boss look his age.

    Here an image you could use for inspiration. All you'd have to do is take the model of Big Boss from GZ, change the hair color, then add wrinkles. For venom Snake, do you think you could make this variant supplied in the picture? Venom Snake looks old enough with the scars and wrinkles, so changing his hair colour would suffice. Again, thanks for putting the effort in!

      I think Venom Snake looks fine for what his age is in The Phantom Pain. He's 49, which is a year younger than my father now yet he looks older than he does. If anything, I'd just add a bit more graying to his hair if I wanted to make his hair accurate to his age.

      As a matter of fact, there's a piece of artwork where Venom's being held captive at an undisclosed location and at an unknown time period, looking considerably older and with hair going below his shoulders.

      That's how old Venom should be done, if at all. Let me see if I can dig it up anywhere.

      EDIT: This isn't exactly it, but it's the best I could find - https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/0a/60/c1/0a60c189f937ba97ee8c1f25d0ad559d.jpg

      That's a cool picture of old venom. Looks very close to the MGS4 big boss but with horn and ponytail.

    Are you gonna do one for Venom's face texture too? Would love to edit together the truth ending scene so when it fast forwards to mg1's time line Venom is older and more grey. But so far this is okay and you got the base down well enough. Can't wait to see the improved thing.

      Yeah, it'll be done for both of them. What I want to do is make a face texture for both and then allow them both to wear a beret (by using the Avatar editor).

      Also, if you were to do that you should combine it with the Ground Zeroes Medic over Avatar. I was actually going to experiment with a way to make it happen without video editing but that's for another day.

      Yeah I have a vid up of the GZ medic had in the truth scene, since it displays via the avatar anyway, it works well. Also yeah that's more code related than anything when it chooses the head model and texture to use for the bloody face texture. Will be interesting to see when done anyway.

      Thanks, the base texture (the face wrinkles and stuff) belongs to IHutch. I just made edits so it's closer to the beard old Boss is known for. Also my crappy beard texture and edits to the hair color but that's why its a very early WIP.
