Cassandra Pentaghast: The Inquisition Morph
Update 7/27/20: Uploaded a version containing texture's from Ellise's Seeker's Sending mod.
Update 5/31/20: Please redownload - I didn't properly test this and didn't realize the conflict between this and Ferelden Cuts.
Ported Cassandra's unique headmesh from Dragon Age: Inquisition into Dragon Age 2 with fully functional bones, face animations, and unique face textures including emotions, eyes and hair.
This mod is totally independent of any other mods. All assets are straight from Bioware with the exception of some modifications to their DA2 emotion masks and norm map to fit to the Cassandra mesh. Eye textures are generously from Ellise's Unique Face Texture's For Companions
This mod uses a unique eye and hair mesh/textures for Cassandra. Her eye and hair texture do not use any tints. Also, if you wish to change Cassandra's hair, it will have to be a hair specially made for this mesh as obviously, existing hairstyles will not fit.
This mod comes in two flavors: the default Inquisition textures or textures from Ellise's Face Texture Tweaks for Dragon Age Inquistion
The transfer of the mesh was not entirely seamless so there might be some tweaks that need to be made to account for certain animations. This does NOT replace Cassandra in any pre-rendered cutscenes...so when you first see her emerging from the shadows, she will have her default morph.
Installation
Open the attached . 7z file and extract the file "Cassandra Inquisition Head" to the following location:
C:\Users\\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age 2\packages\core\override\
(this is the default location, if you have it in a different place, put the file wherever you keep your override)
That's it! You can only either the default textures or the Ellise version - not both at the same time!
Credits
Bioware for assets and for allowing us to port between games and for keeping their bone structure almost entirely the same between games.
Ellise for her eye textures and complexion textures!
NoiraFayn for support and amazing assistance in troubleshooting
ellia for pointing out a critical error in my lapse of judgement (oops)
