📋 About This Mod
Description
Conversion of Mechwarrior 5 commander portraits, where I removed the backgrounds and upscaled to 512x with enhanced details.
I generated some additional portraits with AI tools to add more selection for the females, from f18 to f25; for a total of 25 female, 35 male, and 25 universal helmeted mechwarriors. Also, I added 3 universal ones from color shifts.
Requirements:
You will need the Commander Portrait Loader mod. Do not use the version on nexus, it's broken.
You need the version from this GitHub repo, the link below is the latest release:
