Description:
This is a modified version of the K-9 Dog from Fallout 3 by The FOOK Team. This is my first mod, and would love suggestions on how to make it better. There are 3 versions of the fur, Original Dogmeat Colors, a Darker version of the Original Color, and a Darker Version with a T800 Terminator Face.This modifies the Dogmeat Skin Textures for the Body and the Head, and includes Normal and Specular Maps for the new textures, as well as a Glowing Red Eye. Future Plans: -Robotize the Sounds.
Thanks everyone!
