LSPD skinpack by Mario

LOS SANTOS POLICE DEPARTMENT

SKINPACK BY MARIO

 

---

After several months of being worked on, I can finally release this skinpack with good conscience. It consists of a replacement for every LSPD related skin, minus SWAT. That includes the two female skins, vbfycpd and wfyclpd, all male patrol skins, such as lapd1, sfpd1, lapdm1, pulaski, hern and tenpen. These skins all keep their own head to match the original appearance. The uniforms and the gear however is all custom modeled and textured. I've tried to stay as close to LAPD's loadout with this as to stay realistic. I did not include a taser because they look horrible and we don't like horrible things. The models are pretty much lowpoly, although the textures are of decent size, several 512x512 textures as the standard.

 

 

Features:
I. Uniform variety

Males have two uniform variants, short and long sleeve. Females only have short sleeved uniforms. Both uniform options have room for collar rank pins. There's also the option for sown rank patches on the sleeves.

 

II. Normal mapping
Simply put this results in better shadows on the model, as well as miscellaneous effects, such as faux reflection on the badge, nametag, rank pins and helmet. The normal maps have all been generated specifically for each texture instead of a cover-all solution. You do need the normal map plugin for this to work, which download link will be provided below. Note that you can use the skins without the plugin just fine, although you won't get the added effects.

III. Alpha mapped ranks
Each model supports both collar pins and rank patches. They are applied via alpha mapping, which makes it a seperate texture in the .txd.This allows for quick editing of the rank pin or patch, which anyone can doThere's a rank pin or patch provided for each rank, but you will have to put it in the .txd yourself using TXDworkshop. The ranks start from PO-3 to Chief of Police, taking along the Sergeant career and the Detective career.

 

IV. Hand-drawn textures
Many of the textures are drawn by hand in Photoshop. No more cases of the walking google images many mods have become nowadays. They're hand-drawn, with highlights and realistic shadows. This should result in the skins fitting better in the game.


V. Custom models
All models except the pistol and heads have been modeled specifically for this modpack, no models were stolen from other games or such.

How to use the rank images:
Each model supports both collar pins and shoulder patches. The collar pins are controlled by Pin and Pin_n in the .txd. The shoulder patches are controlled by Patch and Patch_n. The Pin_n and Patch_n images are the normal maps, which are blue. Replace those with the rank_norm images. The regular Pin and Patch images are to be replaced with the normal ranks.

For example, to get the captain bars, you import the Captain.png into the Pin slot. You import the Captain_norm into the Pin_n slot. You don't change the file names of the Pin and Pin_n slot, they stay the same regardless of the rank. For a Sergeant patch, I would import SGTI.png into the Patch slot and SGTI_norm into the Patch_n slot.

The only criticism I have for this great skinpack is that the motorcycle skin's helmet is too damn small.

well done, when i see this picture:

 

i ask me if it would be possible to give each city more different police models -with mods-? example this from the screen in LS, than other 3 (included 1 female) in SF and another 3 group in LV,

all with the matched niforms.

Great pack! Skins look beautiful, equipment very thoroughly researched, and the model is fully fit LSPD made ​​based on the LAPD. But, can you also make a skin of LSPD cadet, in the same style and the same well designed outfit? Moreover, to do so on the basis of existing not so difficult, I think. But the result is simply gorgeous.

I apologize in advance for my English, and errors in the text.
