 Old habits die hard, I wanted to see how Natalia would look in Alex's colour set. Unfortunately, despite editing the material maps there's an odd purple tinge to things (which is rather noticeable against proper white textures - I've included a couple of shots with my 'Meredith' Alex in the screenshots below as an example) that I have yet to pinpoint and resolve. Sorry for this, once I can get to the root of the cause then I will update. To install, please copy the .arc files into the following directory: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS 2\dat\DLC_EPISODE_EX_02\arc\DX9NEXT ～ナタリア「アレックスの着ぐるみ」～ 入れ替えるナタリア（ナタリア着ぐるみ） 。 ゲームディレクトリにファイルを移動してください。デフォルトは次のとおりです： C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS 2\dat\DLC_EPISODE_EX_02\arc\DX9NEXT DOWNLOADSCREENSHOTS:

Liking your attention to details, Overseer.
Have you considered tinting her dress the opposite color of purple? It will balance things out as a quick solution. I am pretty sure her dress has a purple tinted shader to it to further the impact of the original black color of the dress. Look through the smaller textures in the arc.

I am pretty sure her dress has a purple tinted shader to it to further the impact of the original black color of the dress. Look through the smaller textures in the arc. I haven't tried tinting it with a warm yellow or orange to balance it out at the current time, I'll give it a shot though. I had a look through the textures within the arc to try and narrow it down and only found: - Smoke sprite.
- Fire/explosion sprite.
- Dummy gloss map.
- Other dummy textures that are the same in other character arcs.
- Diffuse/overlay maps to achieve the velvet texture on the dress itself.
- Specular map for the dress (required for Ep2).
I've edited all of these to no avail, the effect was much worse with a more dull texture so I had to up the tone to what would typically be displaying in REV2 as an eye-blindingly bright white.
I had a look through the MTL and other files to see if their pointers could lead me in the right direction and I couldn't find any other textures listed, the only thing that stood out to me was within the EFL files there are additional pointers to this pathing - effect_N\mod\0026\FILE NAME - which isn't showing up within the arc files individually for this Natalia model.
I'm not really sure as to what I'm missing.
I'd check the model files as well to see if certain things were put onto the model with it's texture mapping, but I no longer have 3DS Max and the Blender script doesn't support REV2 so I can't test that out unfortunately.

_____Have ya tried goofin' around with the color of the *_NM.dds textures? For SOME REASON, different colors and to the freakin' NORMAL-BUMP-MAP thing also does things to the colors and tones of objects in the game. Sharontubul mentioned trying to do stuff to counter-balance OTHER stuff--tinting the dress the other way. Well... That mysterious OTHER stuff just might be the purple-ish, pink-ish color of the *_nm.dds texture!
_____Or maybe I've just been drinkin' too much lemonade again and am wrong. YES, I am a LEMONADE DRINKER! That stuff is TASTY! Tastier than the virgin's blood they used to give me for nourishment, that's for sure. Besides, virgin's blood is hard to come by these days... What's WRONG with you humans? Can't y'all save it for marriage! Decency, apple pie, and...! What was I sayin'? Oh yeah.
_____So, anyway might be other textures besides the plain-jane simple-color map-things. What the heck are those *_FS_bm.dds things? WHY are there MULTIPLE *_NM.dds files for just ONE model? Yes, Albert Wesker's clothes, I'm talking about YOU. If worse comes to worse, it could be WORSE than that time--back in the original RE4 days--that we found TEXTURE DATA IN THE FREAKIN' *.exe! Everything exists somewhere, might be worth still lookin'. Goin' for lemonade now.

Imported a little test Model over the natalia Costume And mapped the whole Model to the white part of natalias Costume which you made And yep there remains a purple Tint also VERY glossy. ill mess around a little more and see if i can find out the cause for you  Edit seems the glossiness comes from the model itself

Everything exists somewhere, might be worth still lookin'. Goin' for lemonade now. That was one of the first things I tried, I did try out the yellow colour tinting but it wouldn't work on this or on another model - the Classic Claire model has glossy legs so it's impossible to retexture to pants without the shine. Here's screens of the tinted and modified maps: And the reason as to why there are numerous additional normal maps for Albert, is that the carbon fibre sort of pattern on his clothing is being added on with additional maps to achieve that effect as it is not on his base textures. You can blank them out if you want to remove the pattern, but there's still going to be a general glossiness to his model. This Natalia model has the same thing going on with two different additional textures over the model to get the velvet texture look. Imported a little test Model over the natalia Costume And mapped the whole Model to the white part of natalias Costume which you made And yep there remains a purple Tint also VERY glossy. ill mess around a little more and see if i can find out the cause for you Edit seems the glossiness comes from the model itself Thank you very much, I had suspected that it was mapped to the model itself. I had a look through the coding of the model and spotted a couple of things regarding 'pl_skin#' so that's what I figured. Bugger. Oh well.
