Enhanced Claude DFF and BMP skin addon

About:

In this one day & middle project I tried to enhance the original player skin of Grand Theft Auto III, Claude. As you can see the nose and eyes are more detailed without loosing the original game vibe (high polygon count or HD models).

--------------------------------

Originally (erly beta of this mod, like yesterday or nov 02. 2020) I decided to add real cutscenes eyes using Joey ones as a placeholder. You can find some images of it in the pictures folder. Also some things were cut like eyebrowns relief or separated fingers (like the xbox version but with the original PC hands). If you want to make that idea true in the Player.TXD a texture of joey face with brown eyes are there. Sadly the DFF of that skin corrupted itself.

Installation
