[M&M7 Mod] Real Portraits v1.2 - Looksmaxxing Edition

[Vinevi]

... makes the portraits look more real!



During development of Might & Magic VII the team switched to rendering portraits with CGI instead of using stock images, unlike in the previous installment. That change is viewed negatively by some. The project aims at repainting the portraits to make them look more like real-life photos.

Please feel free to suggest changes, alterations for the characters.

This is amazing work! Great job!

I never liked the default MM7 NPC portraits -- they looked so goofy. These are way better. Good job!

Looking good, I happen to have the female in row 12, colimn 3 as follower and she looks a lot more realistic now.

This is simply amazing, and a great addition. I might play another run with MMMerge MM7, if this mod is done.

Thanks! v0.9 is out! More major characters. Some are duplicated since the game duplicates the files as well

Armsmaster master trainer in Avlee has a female first name, Paula Brightspear, but looks like a male .
Not sure if that was always the case.

True, sometimes the voices mismatch too, there are some inconsistencies, no idea what to do with that yet. Didn't know about the armsmaster though, thanks!

Version 1.0 is out! Added proper palettes, so the quality doesn't degrade much when the images are imported ingame, no more overbright pixels as well. Added sharp filter to make the images more readable, after downscaling they are a bit blurry. Fixed some portrait - character inconsistencies, added the last portraits.

For now I will probably move on to the player character portraits and will be revisiting the NPC portraits from time to time, to fix inconsistencies or make them better overall

[Vinevi]

Version v1.2 is out. Portraits are now properly dithered. Player portraits now have properly generated palettes. Red outline on portraits, being a side effect of sharpening is fixed.
