📋 About This Mod
A highly customizable addon to the "Catalogue Improvements" mod, which focuses on further improving the quality of Arthur Morgan's assets, alongside applying some personal tweaks.
In my opinion, the quality of Arthur Morgan's assets is superb for a 2018 videogame, especially his texture work. However, they are not perfect, so this mod attempts to fix and tweak many of the small issues I've had with them. From increasing the resolution and improving the materials of low quality body textures, to rearranging misplaced beard model hairs, to recreating the look certain clothing had in the official guidebook render or in the beta versions of the game, to fixing many minor inconsistencies between different face texture variations, I will attempt to detail all of my changes below.
Each feature of the mod is stored in its own folder, and can easily be removed at your desire. If you don't like a certain change, just delete its folder!
Improved Body Textures
This is probably the biggest part of the mod, or at least, the one that took the most amount of time to create. Multiple tweaks were made to his textures, restoring beta details on his face like missing stubble strands and moles, adding ambient occlusion detail to his chin scar and overall increasing the AO strength, highly improving the quality of his PBR materials and the resolution of his eye textures, and many other small improvements.
Improved Length 1 Buzzed Hair
I felt like this hairstyle looked way too "stringy", like it lacked density, even for a buzzcut. Now the sides and back of it are much fuller, and I believe it looks much better.
Improved Length 2 Mustache
Now, this model always made me hate the way Arthur looked with a length 2 beard. It looked like the hairs were all misplaced in comparison with his stubble. Now they align much better. I've also changed the decal texture it uses underneath, since I believe it was incorrectly using the pencil mustache texture.
Improved Length 3 Mustache
Fixes similar issues to the length 2 stache, but in a subtler way.
Improved Swept Back Hair
Inspired by this official work in progress artwork of Arthur, which probably depicts his beta hairstyle, I decided to try and recreate its look, by merging the bottom portion of right parted with a slightly edited version of the top of the swept back style. This results in the hair looking looser and messier, which in my opinion fits Arthur a lot more.
All lengths of this style have been carefully edited for consistency.
Artwork Inspired Stalker Hat
Edits the model for the stalker hats to recreate the tilt and shape present in the hat seen in the game's official artwork of Arthur.
B
eta Inspired French Dress Shirt
Retextures the white french dress shirt to be slightly darker, to try and match how it looked during beta. I also decided to have the bandage removed from the sleeve of the Guarma variation, as its inclusion was completely nonsensical.
Beta Inspired Gunslinger Jacket
Attempts to recreate the shape of Arthur's beta jacket model seen in some the [url=https://www.gtabase.com/igallery/1701-1800/RedDead2_015-178
