Title: [0.95a] Battlestar Galactica Portrait Pack v1.0.6
Post by: razorator on June 20, 2021, 05:52:38 AM
Battlestar Galactica - Portrait Pack

For the many BSG fans out there, now you can finally command your very own fleet against the AI threat as Admiral Adama, lead your very own squadron as Starbuck, or colonize planets peacefully as President Laura Roslin.

- All the images were edited to have a vanilla friendly feel to them.
- I've tried including all of the major characters.
- Feel free to criticize, request changes, or make suggestions.

I'm just happy for yet more portraits!
Although second from the left, middle row seems to pop too much. Maybe desaturate her a bit?

I LOVE this, my only point of complaint is there is no Admiral Kane, while she isn't a "major" character I think she is one of the most memorable and its a shame not to see her here.

Thanks :D

Thanks guys! My biggest disappointment was how the portrait mods on the forum are very lacking in vanilla-friendliness. I like to keep it simple myself.

Some of them I don't like, others I do, but Hotdog really stands out. Not only does the picture look really good, but his uniform even seems to fit in the universe.

The hardest part of making these was finding a good image of the characters online, that's why some are lower quality than others. For some characters I had to take screenshots of Youtube videos.

For Hotdog there was a full HD face shot, and as you say - he does stand out. I'm not sure if you mean that in a positive way or not though.
My goal was not to go for too much quality that's why I've lowered the quality of some portraits like Admiral Adama's, Lt. Agathon's and Doc's which are IMO just blurry enough NOT to stand out and fit in with the default portraits.

But some portraits like Lee's for example were just bad quality to begin with. Him standing next to Hotdog in the showcase makes it even more noticeable.
If you want me to revisit some portraits just name me some of the characters.

Thanks, that's a great offer! I'm content with leaving the portraits as is right now. Will only rework/add portraits on demand, so feel free to ask!

Awesome mod! Mind if I ask how you edited the portraits to make them fit in with the game's style?

Sorry for the late answer. The first thing you need is a good picture of the character you want to add. Having a high quality shot of their face makes things so much easier. Then just input it into https://deepdreamgenerator.com/ along with a original portrait from the game files (which fits your character the most). Then I add some finishing touches in Photoshop. Depends on what the AI outcome is. Some are perfect, other need lots of fixing up.

This is wonderful; great job. Does the game use these for officers as well?

Thanks. The portraits are restricted to the player only. I can add an optional file for the vanilla factions to use them if you'd like?
