The Live-Action Gang Is Here
Do you remember this concept art? I was so hyped upon seeing it, finally after so many years, they are giving us the live-action shaped masks in PAYDAY 3! Well, that did NOT happen, they went after the PD2 style instead, and I was left disappointed about the masks. I don't want to knock the artists that worked on these masks, they did great, I just think they needed better direction towards the live-action style of the masks.
Luckily, I have the experience, means, some patience and passion, to do it myself, so I've put on my Thanos Gauntlet and here we are.
So, what's going on here, exactly?
Some quick and simple vanilla model modifications gave decent enough results, I've modified the textures as well, only a tiny bit here and there, minor color changes etc. I removed the piss yellow colors, especially on the blank masks. Houston's mask went through the biggest transformation, both the model and the texture received a complete makeover, so that it would closely resemble Hoxton's original mask from the artworks. I do not claim they are perfect recreations. I did my best to stick with the live-action shapes of the masks, mainly focusing on PAYDAY: The Heist Artworks and Hoxton Breakout Trailer.
NOTICE: All masks are split into individual .PAK files, so that you can download what you like, without me forcing all masks onto you.

⚠️Hoxton: "It's not working lass."⚠️
If the .PAK mod is not working, make sure you have added the -fileopenlog launch argument to PAYDAY 3. For example, on Steam you can add that argument by right-clicking on PAYDAY 3, then Properties and lastly, General -> You should see the "Launch Options" box there, that's where -fileopenlog launch argument goes.
If it's still not working, make sure you don't have any conflicting mods.
Extra tip: If your game renders some textures properly while other ones look like garbage, add -dx11 to your launch options, see how that works, and if your game is gasping for FPS, try this mod out.
