HD Trilogy Tommy Vercetti Replacement


Recommended Posts

Man... you doing Gods work here. Great job so far!

Here's a post I made earlier. Maybe you can take some inspiration from other mods (but you probably already seen all of them)

But tbh, what you did already looks better than most of the mods I seen.

I would probably just change a tiny little thing. I would make this line a little bit smoother. From this:

To something like this:

Other than that? I think it looks great. I honestly don't know what else you could change. Maybe make the neck just a little bit thinner? But I guess thats just the angle here

User Kelvin in the forum shoped the trailer character. I think the right one hits the spot. Obvious difference again is the more profound forehead and the chin part moved up.

Man, i love this, it only shows how rockstar should praise the modding community for what they do, that's unbelievably accurate and it's still a WIP. 

Thanks Claude_Lib - great suggestion, I was just editing the collar too so perfect timing.

Thanks again peeps, I read all messages and there's some good pointers!

Honestly, you should have been hired. This looks wonderful. Only question is: did Tommy have arm hair in the original game? Your proposal (which looks really great, don't get me wrong) seems a bit too smooth on the arms but that might be just me.

This is a very early sculpt, almico is still trying to nail down the model first before diving into details like that.

and yes, tommy did indeed have arm hair as you can see here.

tho it's barely noticeable.

I see, I see. I suspected it wasn't the final product so good luck with the modelling.

People on reddit going a bit crazy about the pearls.. I mean they look like pearls to me n Tommy can wear what he wants right? But someone said it's Tony Montana's chain... and I remembered Tommy's concept art that looked like Scarface..

Then I saw this...

Now this makes sense to me... I really think this is the way to go. Any objections?

In the official artwork it seems like tommy is using a different necklace instead of pearls, but normally with R*'s official artworks, it would always look different compared to the actual in-game characters, specially back then, so i don't think the artwork would be the most accurate depiction of tommy.

I don't know about the people on reddit, but these does look like pearls to me.

Even on wikipedia says that tommy uses a "gold pearl necklace around his neck"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Vercetti
Not really sure if wikipedia have actual sources for tommy's "real" appearance.
But whether it's inspired by Tony Montana or not, i think it's safe to assume that the pearl necklace would be the most accurate choice in this case.

Edit: Tried to make tommy's necklace look more similar to tony montana's

The difference is quite obvious, ain't it?
I even tried to lower the quality of that tony montana screenshot to something similar to tommy's texture and the difference is still there.

so yeah, i still think those are pearls, tho you can give tony montana's necklace a go if you want, is your model after all.

I love your investigations!... Someone else mentioned a puka shell necklace which matches the Hawaiian shirt theme perfectly.. although I hate those things.

We are trying out Tony's chain.. the design is so unique on low res images but we think we might have it. Either way, I can make variations 'As pay to win, downloadable dlc'

Just throwing my 2 cents here.

Oh yeah, that's actually a very neat idea, that way everyone is happy.

Just wanted to say that Tommy is looking pretty nice so far, you got this man!

People on reddit are hating on the pearls!

Even thought the wiki literally says golden pearls...

Never mind! can't please everyone.

Oh wow... that's... yeah... yikes.
Didn't know pearls was a passionate topic until now.
At least some of the comments are kinda hilarious to read. :kekw:

But oh well... reddit is reddit and we can't do anything about it.
Just do what you think it's best.

It's a puka. I don't like puka but i think it is one. Anyways, I've asked Stephen Bliss, an original artist and cover artist. Lets wait for his response

Given the Hawaiian themed clothes, shape and coloration of the necklace, i guess it's fair to choose it as a puka, even though gta vc's texture colors aren't really reliable, the yellowish vibe and scale gives more of that look to it rather than a metallic chain and pearls, while they are a possibility, it doesn't seems like the 80s guy on a beach like puka does.

Nice, this looks great.
Only thing i'd say is that the new hair is a lil bit too bright and too yellow/green.
Making it a tiny bit more darker (similar to the one on the left) should be more then enough.

other then that, everything else just looks perfect!

iAbokai.. it's just the specular changing the colour. Thanks for the feedback.I used an upscaled texture of tommy for some details so colour is exact when no spec is applied. See below when I remove the shine:

Oh, i'm aware of the shininess, i wasn't really talking about that.
it's just that i find the the hard dark brown of the old one more appealing (or accurate) to me, but oh well, it still looks good so i'm not gonna comment any further.

I do like the deep red brown patches.. I'll do this later on the texture map :)H36x95f.png
