Sadly not happening anymore :(


I know pretty sure they won't look at Avatar Refresh this year, not sure about next year though as Misthalin updates likely involve plenty of graphics updates on human models anyway.

Jmods have shown no problems updating plenty of human models like the guards, and the Wildy Bandit Camp named NPCs. The artists should have no big problems with their works but when it comes to making changes to the "machine" as Mod Iroh told us before he left Jagex (and he probably meant the engine), we need the Engine team to spend time on it.... and I am not that sure about it.

Perhaps the whole Avatar Refresh project may take a while to come, or not come at all, however, parts of the projects like facial expressions and flexible animations as shown in Mod Iroh's demonstration can still come to RS3. Actually, we already have facial expressions on the chatheads of some NPCs already. The progress is already shown and tested in the game perhaps. :)

Yes, indeed they are working on new character models, as per December 2023 Game Jam currently in progress:

Mod Momad is working on Character Reworks and Mod Stu is working on more specific human NPC slayer master model and slayer mobs too.

I believe their projects, especially the new human NPC model will help some aspects of the Avatar Refresh project (if it resumes next year).
