Description

This is a custom cosmetics pack aimed mostly at the endgame gear.
I found the visual options that the game shipped with quite lacking in quantity especially near the end, I started this project in an attempt to remedy the situation.

I aim for quality over quantity, so expect slow going.

3 November 2018 - Added: Old World Gasmask, Active Earprotection and a Reinforced Conventional Helmet

Known issue: After the tactical legacy pack dropped my helmet variants don't change their materials correctly if you go through the variants in order.

Workaround: Hover over a prop with a different 3D model, then move the cursor to the side from the list and then select the piece you want by mousing over it again from the side.

Currently the pack contains:
NEW - Old world gasmask
NEW - Reinforced helmet
NEW - "Active earmuffs"
- "Proto" Warsuit torso, currently only male and only shiny! Matte versions incoming, female versions may take a while.
Based on an unused design in the XCOM 2 art book!
- Vanquisher helmet with and without decals and matte versions without decals and with decals.
- "Apex predator" Cosmetic T3 medium armor torso with two versions, default glossy (XCOM 2 vanilla) and matte (Anarchy's children style).
- Sparrow recon helmet with decals and without, both glossy and matte versions
- Sparrow combat helmet with decals and without, both glossy and matte versions, this is a glass visor version from the recon helmet.

Currently almost all of the stuff included is for both male and female characters.

Lastly if my cosmetics aren't visible in game, try unsubbing & then resub, it would seem that the workshop won't properly update this mod for everyone.

XCOM 2 uses PBR materials, as such it is relatively easy to paint the textures. I'm not sure how the material painting tools work in blender, since I use substance for texturing, but blender seems to have most of the tools under the sun, so maybe?

The XCOM 2 SDK, comes with good documentation. If you already have it downloaded, take a peek in this folder "Steam\SteamApps\common\XCOM 2 War of the Chosen SDK\Documentation" There is are segments on soldier customizations, character props, as well as character shaders.

When starting, I recommend exporting the textures for some of the base game armors that have the look you want to replicate. That way you can see what color values give you the results you want. I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but the most important reference textures would be Albedo (base color map which are the RGB colors), Metallic (Grayscale texture), Specular (Grayscale texture).

I'm a bit rusty on the specifics, but hope this helps!

Hello sir. I would like to see more of the worn and matte textures on the tier 3 armors and helmets.

Can you provide me a direction where I can start to mod the original helmets and masks?

Do I need to paint the textures myself, or there is a workaround, using some procedure generated materials like in Blender?
