Cheat Sheet: E3 Heads

Where to find the E3 marketing assets

Summary

This page tells you where to find those assets from the E3 demonstrations/trailers that CDPR left in the files.

Please note that while there are texture folders, though their folders will be noted, the textures themselves will not be listed here.

Female V

E3 2018 Head

base\characters\main_npc\demo_vicky\h0_001_wa_c__demo_vicky\

base\characters\main_npc\demo_vicky\h0_001_wa_c__demo_vicky\textures

In these folders, you will find the assets used for V as seen in the 43-minute 2018 gameplay demo.

File	Description
h0_001_wa_c__demo_vicky.mesh	Head
hb_001_wa_c__demo_vicky.mesh	Eyebrow/eyelash (Note: this is different than the traditional eyebrow mesh the game actually uses, these are fully modelled 3D meshes.)
he_001_wa_c__demo_vicky.mesh	Eyes
heb_001_wa_c__demo_vicky.mesh	Eyebrows (Note: same format as the final game eyebrows.)
ht_001_wa_c__demo_vicky.mesh	Teeth
hx_001_wa_c__demo_vicky_makeup_eyes_01.mesh	Eye makeup
hx_001_wa_c__demo_vicky_makeup_freckles_01.mesh	Freckles
hx_001_wa_c__demo_vicky_makeup_lips_01.mesh	Lip makeup
hx_001_wa_c__demo_vicky_pimples_01.mesh	Pimples

2020 Marketing Head

base\characters\head\pwa\h0_000_pwa_c__basehead\

base\characters\head\pwa\h0_000_pwa_c__basehead\textures

These folders contain the V used in the early 2020 marketing materials and "The World of Cyberpunk 2077", the assets here more closely resemble the final game.

File	Description
h0_000_pwa_c__basehead.mesh	Head
he_000_pwa_c__basehead.mesh	Eyes
heb_000_pwa_c__basehead.mesh	Eyebrows
ht_000_pwa_c__basehead.mesh	Teeth
hx_000_pwa_c__basehead_cyberware_01.mesh	Cyberware
hx_000_pwa_c__basehead_cyberware_02.mesh	Cybeware
hx_000_pwa_c__basehead_cyberware_03.mesh	Cyberware
hx_000_pwa_c__basehead_cyberware_04.mesh	Cyberware
hx_000_pwa_c__basehead_cyberware_05.mesh	Cyberware
hx_000_pwa_c__basehead_makeup_01.mesh	Lip makeup
hx_000_pwa_c__basehead_makeup_02.mesh	Eye makeup
i1_000_pwa_c_earring__basehead.mesh	Earing

Male V

When compared to female V, male V has fewer remaining assets left over from development (mostly 2018 is missing). However, what we saw of male V in the 2019 Deep Dive demo, early 2020 trailers, and "The World of Cyberpunk 2077" remain behind.

2019 Deep Dive/2020 Marketing

base\characters\head\pma\h0_000_pma_c__basehead\

base\characters\head\pma\h0_000_pma_c__basehead\textures

base\characters\head\pma\h0_001_ma_c__player\textures

Note that not everything in the foremost folder will be listed, only what's important. There are simply too many assets to list here, most of which are identical to the final game if not straight duplicates.

h0_000_pma_c__basehead_scar_01.mesh	Head scar (Note: potentially what we see in the 2018 trailer)
h0_000_pma_c__basehead.mesh	Head
h0_000_pma_c__short_spiked_cyberware_01.mesh	Hair with cyberware cutout(?)
h0_000_pma_c__short_spiked.mesh	Hair
hb_000_pma_c__basehead__e3_demo_reduced.mesh	Beard
he_000_pma_c__basehead_cyberware.mesh	Eyes with cyberware cutout(?)
he_000_pma_c__basehead.mesh	Eyes
heb_000_pma_c__basehead_01.mesh	Eyebrows (Note: Like 2018 Female V, these are 3D modeled eyebrows!)
hh_000_pma_c__basehead_haircap_01.mesh	Hair cap
hx_000_pma_c__basehead_cyberware_01.mesh	Cyberware (Note: Same as used in the trailer/gameplay videos.)
i1_000_pma_earring__basehead_01.mesh	Earing

Important exception; outside of the above folder, somewhere else in a different folder is a beard mesh that is combined with 3D eyebrows and eyelashes.

base\characters\head\pma\h0_001_ma_c__player\hb_001_ma_c__player.mesh

Textures

Textures for male V here are scattered across two different folders, h0_000_pma_c__basehead and h0_001_ma_c__player respectively.
