📋 About This Mod

DESCRIPTION

This feature is retexture of our beloved Pip-Boy 3000 Mk IV to resemble Shōtarō Kaneda's bike from the manga and anime AKIRA! It's really just a cherry red pipboy with the ever iconic stickers. Quite a simple retexture, but I'm working my way to more difficult themes I have in mind and thought I'd share.

Not a fan of Akira, I'll try and indoctrinate you below but in case youre especially resistent to badass futuristic biker gangs, you can choose from a few clean color schemes without stickers - or put your own stickers on it.

Color Schemes: Cherry Red Nuclear Fire Orange Radiation Green Quantum Blue Raider Black

Here's an excerpt from the 1988 film. It is set in Neo-Tokyo, a futuristic city in 2019 after WWIII follwing nuclear detonations in 1988 Welcome to the wonderful work of AKIRA:

Note: In some of my screenshots, I am using TreyM's "Vintage Film Looks," (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, great work) specifically his Kodachrome Reshade/Sweetfx config. This is my current visual setup and have taylored the texture saturation to work a bit better with his preset. Either way, the texture should look fine with vanilla Fallout4 too. It just might be a bit more "cherry" red than expected. See the screenshots. You may want to adjust your Pip-boy interface color too if you want to replicate the screenshots.

More Pip-Boy retextures coming soon! Look out for DoctrDerp's Custom Pip-Boy Shop! I have many ideas for themes - if you have a request, drop a comment and if it's something I think is appealing, I'll give it a shot. Thank's for lookin' chiiiiildren. Signin out.
