I repainted Garrett's arms and hands to look more like what I think a master thief would wear. Arms reflect light better than cloth, and showing off his arms would make Garrett more visible to guards. I think Garrett would more realistically wear something like this, and, logic aside, I think this looks a whole lot cooler:

http://img54.photobucket.com/albums/v165/Zorodius/Reskin3.jpgThis isn't just some ten-minute job, I spent over 20 hours completely repainting the textures and normal maps for Garrett's arms. As a result, they will dynamically reflect light from the wrinkles in the sleeves, just like the rest of Garrett's outfit.
You can download the new textures (
www.technicae.net/thief.zip) here.
You'll need to insert the textures yourself (step-by-step directions for doing this are included in the README file.) I will take a shot at making a stand-alone installer for this, but that takes time, and I wanted this to be available for you guys as quickly as possible ;)
Enjoy! If you have any technical problems with this, let me know.

Nice. Very subtile change, but brings definitely some improvement in looks.
Now how about some sort of skimask for Garretts face ;)

This is excellent, I'm very impressed. Good work. :thumb:
I'm SURE we'll get someone bitching about how he looks more like Sam Fischer (the Splinter Cell guy) than ever now, but what can you do?
NOTE: The file: content/T3/maps/kernelGFXALL.ibt was set to read only on my system and I had to make it writeable for DXTool to work. I'm not sure if this is standard but you may want to add it to the readme file?

Awesome work. Totally agree that she should have as much skin covered as possible, with black or darkish clothing.

Glad to hear you got it working! Has anyone else encountered this?

At least he looks less like Conan the Barbarian now :p
This is really nice work Zorodius, I'll be downloading it when I get home from work.

"She"...?! :weird:
Anyway, what if you don't want Garrett so covered up? What do you do then?
Actually perhaps I should keep my sick fantasies to myself
Dark Sky :erm:

That looks very nice, if I didn't know better I'd swear that was the way it he was meant to be. :)
