BeatFK Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) To you, my attempt to make Niko smarter. So Now he doesn't look he got off the boat one month ago. 1st attempt : His bad hair and shave is in the past, now it's time for some style. Brown hair with blond streaks, gomina, nice shave. He went to a tatooist, bought some shades, to make it even better. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ztwz20mvamu 2nd attempt : This time I tried to make the texture more resemblant to Niko, as the first was far from it. Short brown hair, dark eyes, smooth shaved face. He looks more professional than the original Niko, but not too distant from him either. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ceqlqwjn5yy **One video :** http://www.pagon.org/smarterniko.wmv (the second link if you want dl it, better quality I guess) **My contribution :** Since SparkIV is released (great thanks to Aru), I tried every combination between Niko and NPC. It appears Niko's geometry and Jay texture fits perfectly. I added the Faustin chest tatoo and some peds shades to look very good. So basically, I didn't create many things (I barely edited hair, eyes and skin), I just found some balance in the textures. I personaly believe Niko is much more integrated gangster now. Edit : something I forgot to tell in the readme, Shades replace the eyeglasses in the russian shop.

BeatFK Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Anyway to not have the tatoo? Edit : Original file without tatoo is "ig_jay" head_diff_000_whi in componentpeds.img. For some reason, screenshots don't serve the man. The video is much more lookalike. Thanks for all your support (and cookies ) !

BeatFK Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) LINK DELETED lol thats an ped texture "Since SparkIV is released (great thanks to Aru), I tried every combination between Niko and NPC.

So basically, I didn't create anything, I just found some balance in the textures. I personaly believe Niko is much more integrated gangster now." Just read, I never pretended anything man. Just did what I did. Most of ped textures look ugly on Niko, this one very don't. Edit : But as I understand It, linkin an original file is not very advised. Second link erased.

BeatFK Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Thanks all, for your comments And YES, I have already seen some blue eyed and handsome serbians, being serbian doesn't mean being dark eyed and whatever. Stop stereotypes. That was the first time I used some extra game video editing, to add new music. I hope one day someone will crack the editor so we can do this all in game.

BeatFK Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Thank you all of you ! I've made a second version, without gomina hair (actually more like Niko's original) and with dark eyes (for those who can't stand blue eyes). I'm not so proud of the hair, but Niko looks good though, more resemblant. The important part of the mod is as you say, the cleaned shave part (and the shades). And here is the RAR http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ceqlqwjn5yy Edited January 7, 2009 by BeatFK Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/390630-smarter-niko/#findComment-1058855854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatFK Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) Here what i've done today. I used my Smart Niko v2, add some beard (photoshoped the facial hair of Johnny). And it looks great to me, like an "older Niko". Adidas and camo aren't from me, btw.

BeatFK Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 could you go for "good" looking black nico,something like playboy:X? The thing is Niko's model is far from black's typical look. But I can give a try. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/390630-smarter-niko/#findComment-1058870475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
