Piro Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) 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) Spoiler On 10/24/2021 at 11:42 AM, Piro said: (...)And every single one of those fans did a better job than R*: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/gta-thomas-tommy-vercetti-bcb223ff18f24038a8c1f0e1384242a3 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?

GhettoJesus Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 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. almico 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/976684-hd-trilogy-tommy-vercetti-replacement/page/2/#findComment-1071691413 Share on other sites More sharing options...

almico Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) 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?

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.. 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.

almico Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 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.

Yhdf Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) 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.
