So I've recently taken the plunge into trying to mod RE2, because I personally want to try and make some things more like they were in the '98 game. It originally started with just wanting to change Claire's "Classic" outfit to be more accurate, but then I decided I kinda of want to do everyone that way! So here is some of my progress: I'm pretty happy with where I'm at so far! JimmyAndresRG's DC Claire is obviously what I'm using as a test and it was a great help in figuring some things out. Other than his neck mod and the glove/shirt textures, everything else is my own edit from Claire's base model. I'm currently trying to figure out how to replace these with actual models, so I can release it. Currently have several edits to her: - Edited ponytail/bangs to look like her OG hairstyle.
- Higher cuts in shorts.
- Higher/tighter boots w/o laces and a resculpt of the foot.
There are also several other reshaping things done to the mesh, with 0 alterations to her face. I also included a shot of my Annette with short hair (downloaded a classic color swap that I'll change to my own edit later). The other pic is an edit on Katherine's hair to be loose from the twintails (she looks dumb with them) and lower hairline. I'm currently trying to turn her outfit into the dress from the original, but I'm getting errors in game with the textures being all garbled on it. I have a basic knowledge of rigging and modeling for mods, but the texturing step is the tricky part for me: I understand how to change the base diffuse map and save it, but I have no idea how to combine texture maps/edit normals (which doesn't seem to work like saving the diffuse does). Not sure what I'm doing wrong! Anyways, any critiques, tips, tutorials, words of encouragement are welcome and appreciated in this endeavor!

Looks fantastic so far! Keep up the good work, atlier00. Since you're trying to get closer to the 98 design, will you give Claire a sleeveless bomber jacket (basically this minus the sleeves)? I wish I could help you with the texture problem you mentioned but my knowledge is very limited when it comes to create/edit Normal Maps... Hopefully someone will be able to help you soon.

Since you're trying to get closer to the 98 design, will you give Claire a sleeveless bomber jacket (basically this minus the sleeves)? Actually, Yes! Claire's default leather jacket is actually a really good base to remake her OG bomber vest. Sadly, like I mentioned, one thing holding me back is figuring out how to combine several UV texture maps into one, so that this can be added to the classic costume set. I've tried looking online but am finding it hard to find a good tutorial on this topic. From there it's finding out how to save edited normal maps from a converted DDS file, back to a .10 file. I'm sure it's not super complicated, but I just need someone who is willing to let me pick their brain lol.

Oh my... this is nothing short of fantastic! Great job!!!
I love Annette's look the most <3 she finally has her bob cut back! YASS!!! lol
Thank you for making this. I've been in love with JimmyAndres's Darkside Chronicles Claire but it still feels lacking in some parts. I didn't realize what those were until you came out with the shorter shorts lmao
Plus I see you're making an edit to her jacket (using her default jacket) to make it like the original, leather plus zipper and all. I love it <3
The hairstyle, though, I love she has her bangs back <3 I don't mean to pry but do you intend to make a brunette version of it? As well as use the JimmyAndres Beautiful Reality Claire face edit?

As well as use the JimmyAndres Beautiful Reality Claire face edit? - Yeah I'm still working on Annette to make sure the hair physics are pretty good. It's a little uneven at the moment, because I just used her main hair as the base, so it animates a bit strange. - Claire's hair isn't done either, so the color isn't what I'm gonna go for in the end. I'll probably go for more dark brown+red. - As for her face, at the moment I'm not planning on changing it but who knows? OH MY GOD I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED FOR THIS YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!! CLAIRES HAIR WAS ONE OF MY BIGGEST CRITICISMS!!! Could you maybe also remove the red watch straps on her wrist? - It'd be simple enough to remove. I don't know if I want to keep it or not though, because I kind of like it and her necklace. In the end I could always make several versions based on some preferences. atlier00 , you might want to join the Discord server!

Outstanding work so far, I am in love with all the new changes. Keep it up! Will you make Katherine's dress a little longer?
Are you the same atlier that made these amazing YouTube videos? I've been following that channel ever since I discovered them.
