Please tell me what you guys think, both in general and in comparison to the last body I presented. Worse comes to worse, she'll be about half a head taller than the clothed counterpart, which I think is acceptable under most situations. If you guys think that this is a more accurate construction, then I will proceed to work on trying to cut down on her trunk height. I had to move the nude mesh around to show how well the individual elements lined up. If I line up the ass meshes, then the nude's torso is a bit taller than the clothed if I line up the breast meshes, then the nude's pelvis is a bit lower than the clothed. The reason why I have all the images split into separate lower- and upper- is because the Caliente body has a longer trunk than Liara. With that being said, have some images of a new rebuild: :P Liara, however, I feel is a bit more justified. If you want to complain about the proportions of Miranda or Femshep, then I'll just call you being pedantic and ignore it. The ME2 version of Liara has her breasts at about a small handful, whereas Urgarulga's require a bucket to carry them in. The only reason I am rebuilding Liara is because Urgarulga's version is massively disproportionate from the canon. They're not identical, but I know for a fact for the girls I built (Kasumi, Samantha, Diana) that I tried to get within a reasonable range with matching their body types - insomuch as the HGEC bodies would allow me to do. That being said, the other ME girls are fairly canon. The limit of how far off from canon the model has to be is pretty high, and the limit of how much effort I'll actually exert is pretty low. There are bounds on which I'll operate under, and bounds to which I'll go. I'm very happy LordAardvark is willing to make changes. I'd go as far as to say there's a bigger difference between the Urgarulga model and the ME3 model than there is between the ME3 and ME1 versions.
The yellow wireframe is the model from the game. Can you guess which one is Urgarulga's model and which one comes from the game? Here some images of the Urgarulga model compared to the Mass Effect 3 model. Maybe not quite as well as Urgarulga's, but in the same ballpark. Here's a video of the ME1 model if you're unfamiliar with it. The outfits Liara has in Mass Effect 2 are identical to Mass Effect 3.(don't worry I checked) There is ofcourse the nude Liara in Mass Effect 1, and while the breasts and butt of that model are smaller compared to Mass Effect 3, the rest of the body is mostly the same, save for the slight difference in color and fact that the ME1 model has even less polyons than the ME3 version. The ME3 model, if I remember correctly, was fairly well endowed compared to the ME2 model. This is just a sketch of what the body would look like when I put it all together. The model hasn't been hacked together, or even compressed down to SMD yet - hence all of those blue diamonds, which is a result of importing the body as a NIF they'll go away once I save as a SMD. The only thing that is a bit off is the ass, I think, but I think that such a small detail can be overlooked in the grand scheme of things - how often will you be comparing them as closely as having their wireframes overlaid? As you can see, I almost exactly nailed her breasts, and I tried to keep her slinky frame as best as I could.
I tried to match her proportions as best I could, while taking into account some of the padding that her armor would supply. The first two images show off the wireframes of the nude body and the ported "Explorer" version that GoOR / bge at Facepunch did, which is a straight-up (and canonical) rip from the Mass Effect games (I want to say ME2). Well, friends, countrymen, Digitaleroians, I have heard your cries! And I have answered!
So I'll admit that I was surprised at the amount of frustration urgarulga's nude Liara generates, as a result of his creative liberties with Liara's proportions.Ī lot of people were disappointed with the fact that, in the M3R, I kept those proportions as canon and modified them: the single most common reply was something along the lines of "I wish for a canon Liara body."
