ModelMod

ModelMod: modify art in games https://github.com/jmquigs/ModelMod I posted this as a "Show HN" a few months ago. It's awesome because for the vast majority of commercial games, there is no way to customize the art, since the Developer doesn't provide an end-user art pipeline. There are older programs that allow texture customization, but as far as I know, ModelMod is the first program that lets you snapshot models, edit them, and the reload the edited version in game. Currently I'm working on CoreCLR support (a lot of the code is F#) and experimenting with pixel shader transplants.

Well the demonstration uses Skyrim[1] to live-edit the character model which goes beyond the capabilities of a generic mod. Character customizations are also usually premium feature with free-to-play games. Also, the technical overview describes that the rendering calls are intercepted by matching the "vert/prim count"[2] which is an interesting approach.
