Thanks for the clarification 👍

Hard to believe it actually ligit

Hard to believe it actually ligit

I had a good look at it in another engine environment and I have to say - with right materials applied it dose not look bad at all - actually it might be on the same level as default masks. If right materials will be applied… judging by what happened to Mr Black and Falconers heads I have strong doubts.

We just have to wait and see. Also, on another note - Illfonic is using nick names for them as usual:

BigDog is Mr.Black (yes, its not Tracker, I’ve checked :-) )
Crucified is Captured
WildBird is Falconer
So far there is no subfolder for Tracker - also, no idea what nick name will they come up for him

So on that note, why does Captured’s mask look like it’s made out of clay? It just doesn’t look metal to me. The specular highlight is considerably muted comparing it to JH. Is it just that it supposed to have been lit on fire or something? Because it doesn’t look like it has.
Do they all have a specular texture map or is it a special helmet shader that should resemble bronze, chrome, matte (for the Alpha pred) etc.?
and believe it or not, JH isn’t exactly the same as Captured, it is theoretically the same, but you can see slight jaw parts a little wide on captured and maybe it’s back ridges a tad longer.

Again - low quality of textures and, most important, material files applied. You can make the most detail 3d mesh, that will be a work of art, but give it to someone who dose not know shit about material files (special files that are handling light distribution, reflections and 3d features) and it will look alike a cheap 3d asset from CAD browser.
Good example is what happened to Mr Black and Falconer heads - they look so cheap not because of low quality of 3d modelling - they barely have any material files applied. Have a look at my post in Feedback section

SuperPredators visual aspect

Nope - its a brand new, high quality 3d mesh, designed specifically for the race… its the material files applied that are making it look cheap and basic. Have a look: [head compare] Top is Mr Black and bottom is Scout. As you can see those are two completely different models, not copy paste. Also, level of detail on Mr Black head is astonishing for an arcade video game. Shame the guy who dose 3d materials is not on the same level as the artist who created this head…

I’ve just pasted a compare image between default game scout and Mr Black heads 3d meshes - you can see there that the level of modelling for Super preds DLC is top shelf, so its not the 3d artists… it’s the guys who were handling textures.

@MassImpact124

and believe it or not, JH isn’t exactly the same as Captured

I know, I already had a very CLOSE look at all 3 of them (JH, Elder and Captured). Cudos to Illfonic for going this extra mile reather than doing copy paste XDDD

[MassImpact124]

Its nothing to write home about though.They just did it to prove they did somethng.

But i do see the issue with the Falconer mask. There is barely any specular on it and all i see is texturing painting.
Mr.Black I think they did a harsh specular as it looks like its cast iron (as it should always be).

I also see the Superpred faces do not have specular. SHAME!

Mr.Black I think they did a harsh specular as it looks like its cast iron (as it should always be).

Mr Black mask is probably one of the best quality and movie accurate masks in the game. Falconers mask, as you’ve noticed, is lacking good material files. I’m afraid Tracker will suffer from the same issue

[MassImpact124]

By material files, can you actually see them? And are they texture pngs or are they procedural?
Im wondering if there is a way you would be able to do it in the Unreal dev kits and do a render.
Otherwise we will never be able to hack a mod what with the shit they impose.

And if you figure its easy enough to add, maybe we can get the devs to do a hotfix and enhance these textures.

@MassImpact124

depending on lighting in game - yes

@MassImpact124

are they texture pngs or are they procedural

both

@MassImpact124

we will never be able to hack a mod

easy cheat will never going to allow uploding a modified pak archive

@MassImpact124

No… this will never going to happen. We just need to start loving them (super preds) the way they are

oh shit, i figured that much. because they just dont appear in game and in cinematics they do and such.

[NomadClan]

So I have a question, how are you able to get all of this information? Not trying to be rude or sarcastic just really curious how your able to see what the Devs are doing

[Noktrum]

Oh thats easy… you see, its because

irwiss

I’M A RUSSIAN HACKER BABY!!!

[MassImpact124]

@NomadClan

able to see what the Devs are doing

Its called “Sight Beyond Sight”.

[Durbs2001]

It’s called hacker vision

[P-willie2000]

Nice!!!

[Derangedxeno_02]

I may commission your services for something soon

Show us the Scar goods

@Derangedxeno_02

Show us the Scar goods

I’ve filtered the archives for that particular word “Scar” and came up only with new cosmetics for masks… so nothing yet
