Hey folks,
I’ve occasionally been working on some stuff related to making custom face meshes from new highpoly sculpts for my skin mods as of late and have finally finished some of them for my skin mods. I’ll probably give you a more extensive breakdown in the upcoming devblog for my Arkham project on UE4. Faces definitely turned out to be something that’s strangely intuitive for me to sculpt and I am able to finish them fairly quickly as well, hence why I managed to do ones for most of my skin mods already. There are occasionally also some other changes included in these updates, as I usually keep tinkering with things over time and it’s been a bit since my skins got updates.
If you are interested in resources and help to learn Arkham-Modding or if you just want to keep up to date with my mods, feel free to join the Arkham Artwork Discord Server!
Proto Asylum Skin Pack v2.0
The face for these skins is supposed to be more of a blend of the lower face portion that we’ve seen in Arkham Asylum and the face of Arkham Knight’s Bruce. This was also the first face I finished, and I think it turned out quite nicely and definitely looks much more alive than the default face.
Changelog:
- Updated face
- Fixed possible forearm clipping with very specific animations
Installation Notes
This skin pack requires that you own the Flashpoint Paradox Skin as well as the Bat-Family Skin Pack and have them installed.
To install this mod simply drop the RBmProtoAsylum folder from the unpacked download into Batman Arkham Knight/DLC/<pick any folder> (I use 356474) (the entire folder, not just its contents).
Batman Begins Skin v6.0
Making a face that blends the facial structure and likeness of Christian Bale into the broader face structure of Knight Bruce was a bit more challenging than with the other faces, but I think I’ve managed to achieve a fairly nice result on this one as well. I also matched Bale’s eye colours while I was at it.
Changelog:
- Updated face
- Changed showcase sort index so the skin is closer to the top of the list now
Installation Notes
This skin requires that you own the 2008 Movie Batsuit DLC and have it installed.
To install this skin simply drop the RBmBegins folder from the unpacked download into Batman Arkham Knight/DLC/418930 (the entire folder, not just its contents).
The Dark Knight Skin v3.0
I’ve obviously also updated the face of my modified version of the 2008 suit, given that I have already done the face model for my Begins suit, which I can just reuse here.
Changelog:
- Updated face
- Changed showcase sort index so the skin is closer to the top of the list now
Installation Notes
This skin requires that you own the 2008 Movie Batsuit DLC and have it installed.
To install this skin simply drop the RBmDK2008 folder from the unpacked download into Batman Arkham Knight/DLC/418930 (the entire folder, not just its contents).
This does not replace the official DLC skin slot!
Burton Skin Pack #1 v5.0
As it turns out, Michael Keatons likeness meshes surprisingly well with the general face structure of Knight’s Batman head, which allowed me to get an almost eerie level of similarity with Michael Keatons face, which is especially noticeable on the 2023 suit. I’d say these turned out the best compared to the other two face models I made.
Installation Notes
This skin pack requires that you own the 1989 Movie Batsuit and Batmobile DLC, the Flashpoint Paradox Skin as well as the Bat-Family Skin Pack and have them installed.
To install this mod simply drop the RBurton folder from the unpacked download into Batman Arkham Knight/DLC/401621 (the entire folder, not just its contents).
Burton Skin Pack #2 v2.0
Naturally I’ve also updated the faces of the second Burton skin pack of mine, and while I was at it I also updated some other parts of it, like the microdetails on the classic skin and the blue and grey version of the 2023 suit in general.
Changelog:
- Updated faces
- Added microdetails to the body of the classic Burton skin
- Added purple fresnel on the gloves of the ’89 Comic Skin
- Updated package and materials of the blue/grey 2023 skin to match the regular version of that skin better
Installation Notes
This skin requires that you own the 1989 Movie Batsuit and Batmobile DLC, the Earth 2 Batsuit DLC as well as the Bat-Family Skin Pack and have them installed.
