Juhani , a much needed rework, don't like the original at all. most of all the texture is way too bright so it loses all details. 

Juhani has a hairline now 🥀
I think the face looks alright although that hairline is very off putting. Probably because of how the AI would reinterpret the parts in the UV which led to that. I think you'd need to manually edit the texture and have part of the texture that is for the top of her head blend more with the fur of her face.

There is also something a bit uncanny about her now. Like a cat from the cats musical 😭

she also has human hair (or does she color it?)

Might be something more like a Horse's mane maybe where the hair's different pigment and length is normal for them.

yes i can maybe blend the two, there is a seam in the mesh and bioware are awful at placing these seams, like on the wookies, they placed them on their belly, which is in plain sight.
maybe its just where the longer hair starts on her, it's not a huge issue imo, and only visible if you use the Camera and stand as close as you can, like i do here. its too vague to see otherwise.   

I do think she's less uncanny than in the original model haha, maybe because at least now i can see what its supposed to be while with the original model my first impression (as i remember it) was more like "WTF even IS that?" lol 

The head texture stops at the forehead and then continues elsewhere. So there will likely always be a seam, unless perhaps you make it super bright or do a UV-remap of the whole face. 
 

 

some of the blur there could be removed though, likely not contributing to anything good

I think this texture mod of your's Vurt causes crashes on Taris. I can't get into the Sith Base unless I warp to the Sith Governor and fight him. Then I warp to Lower City and meet up with Canderous again. But it crashes when it try's to load Davik Kang. Is it my Geforce RTX 2060 graphics card that's the problem?

Did you update it recently? 
I update the mod like every other day, the crash for going into the Sith Base via the elevator was fixed quite a while ago. 

It is possible its a new crash that i havent found, if so a save just before it crashes would be helpful and i can fix it.

everyone should just remove the file called PLC_FrcDist01 

this since it is too problematic to work with, it can either crash the game entirely or it makes the texture for the prison forcefield non-transparent. so just remove it.

Next update will have some nice upgrades. 50 armors which previously were 1024 are now 2048 and overall just looks much better (better textures overall). 
a ton of face textures + more.. Here's one of the Gamorreans vs default 

needs a belt buckle though, but easy to add...

The original has a yellow/green color inside the mouth, very odd choice, i made mine have dark red inside the mouth, which looks more like you would expect.

not happy with some of the skin, now its better. i also made him show his sexy belly.
