peterbernard Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I was formally asked by the creator of the last Pete Rose face to create another one, so I'm working on it. Right now, his mouth is up too high and his skin isn't blended correctly. There isn't much texture on his hair except the bangs and above the ears, where I had shots with greater detail. I think this is promising at this point, I think there's a good chance he'll make it into the next face pack in a nicer form than shown here.

peterbernard Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 lol,i thught u meant a cyberface of urself good cyberface by the way HA!! That's funny, I should do one of me. Some people would download it so they could throw fastballs at my head. I changed the title to make it less confusing, thanks for pointing that out. I'll plan on using this space to preview faces that I'm working on. And thanks for the compliment-- of course if you got any closer to him than what's in those shots, you'd see what I mean about it still needing alot of work. But when the faces look like the original guy from a distance, then I know it's just a matter of time and effort before it kicks "naughty word."

bruins Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 That looks great. Also, I have a question regarding cyberfaces for you: I was playing as the Royals, and when I brought out the manager his whole face was "shifted" around his head. His ears were in the front where the eyes should have been, and his hair was right smack in the middle where the nose would be. What do you think could have happened? I can take a screenshot if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbernard Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 You mean like my avatar? My avatar is a failed attempt at making Duke Snider. I think it looked like that because I picked a poorly-matching mesh to put the face over. I see that happen in the game sometimes when I forget to start the game with 3D Analyze and I'm playing in the lowest visual setting. Is this what you do? Play on the low setting? I've seen alot of manager and player faces twisted around on the low setting, but they straighten out most of the time when I restart with 3D Analyze version 2.0 and turn the helmet reflections off. Later this summer I'm dog-sitting for a month at my friend's place, and he has a top-notch video card, so I'll be seeing helmet reflections in July and August! Woohoo! Umm, did I answer your question before I wandered off into my personal reverie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I put my player settings on high, even though it may not seem it with my shotty gfx card. This guy was the only time I've seen this happen.. Hmm.)

peterbernard Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 I don't know. I just checked and my KC Manager looks kind of generic -- see him here in a windows media video file: http://www.peterbernard.com/kcmanager.wmv And all the faces that twist sideways in my game are generic faces, oddly enough. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More on Pete Rose face in progress: See, when he takes his cap off, he looks more like Marky Ramone than Pete Rose, ha! (Marky was their second drummer.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbernard Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Here he is: That picture looks really bright! Do all the faces look that bright? When I first played MVP 2004 on my old video card it looked like that. Have you tried 3D Analyze to see if it does anything to improve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterbernard Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 There's a topic about it somewhere in here. Make sure to get version 2.0. There are 4 buttons on the left. Click the 2nd from the top, choose the MVP 2005 exe file, hit OK. Then click the button on the bottom left and it starts the game for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expos4Ever Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 BTW, did you try to use the smudge tool to get rid of some hair in the fore head of Pete Rose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbernard Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 I just used the preset settings of version 2.0. No, I added hair to give him bangs which I took from the cover of the British album, "Beatles For Sale." Can you guess which Beatle? I thought not.

peterbernard Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Ha! No, John. Paul's bangs were a good guess, they were closer to Rose's most of the time. John's were at a better angle on that cover though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big shmooz Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Also, I have a question regarding cyberfaces for you: I was playing as the Royals, and when I brought out the manager his whole face was "shifted" around his head. His ears were in the front where the eyes should have been, and his hair was right smack in the middle where the nose would be. What do you think could have happened? I may be wrong... but try this & see if it works... Go into MVP edit & if you have not done so, import your current rosters to MVP edit & name it anything you like. It will then create for you a .mbe file. (If you do not know how to do this, post here & either I or somebody else will explain how you do this.) After you open up your roster inside the "MVP edit" program, you need to click on the button called "team" . Then click on the tab called "manager". Then look around there & see where it says "04 face". If it says "no", you need to change that to "yes" & then import the .mbe file to your datatbase folder, which is a subfolder of your main MVP 2005 folder. (make sure if you are not familiar with doing this process, that when you navigate to the "database" folder that you DOUBLE CLICK ON IT". It should ask you to overwrite the previous files. If it does not ask you it means you didn't double click properly on the database folder & that it is actually writing the files to the "data" folder.) If I am correct about this suspicion... the 04 face will say "no", & when you change it to "yes", this will fix your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbernard Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Oh you think it's a half face? Yeah that's a possibility. Another cool thing you can do under "Team" in MVPEdit is just give yourself a different manager. You can get Lou Piniella's face # from the Devil Rays and have him manage your team instead of those losers. HOCKEY BETTER THAN BASEBALL??? I won't quibble over the god thing but HOCKEY???? Just kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big shmooz Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I won't quibble with ya over the Devil Rays being losers, but Baseball better than Hockey??? (imitating you) Hockey is awesome. It is amazing both to play & to watch. (I do both) The precision of passing a puck on ice together with the skating & shooting & the defense (a defensemen stopping a skater at 30 miles per hour dead in his tracks with a body check) & the goaltending ... (I am a goaltender) is just the most amazing thing. I remember even as a child being so enamored with it. I remember listening to Marv Albert do the Rangers games on radio (I did not have a T.V. as a kid, since my parents thought it was a bad influence) & hearing him announce the game as I would jump up & down on my bed totally mesmerized with him (I was around 5 at the time). I dreamed of being a hockey player & indeed I started to play at age 5 & have not stopped since. I... till a few years ago would actually play hockey 5 times a week on average. I still play, though now only once a week. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbernard Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 i guess it's because I grew up in the shadow of Yankee Stadium, baseball always seemed larger than life. The original Yankee Stadium in the early 70's in the South Bronx was like this huge glowing jewel left in the middle of a junk yard (I'm from the Bronx so I can say that, but please don't YOU call the Bronx names!! haha). I'm sure hockey is alot better if you've played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big shmooz Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Don't get me wrong, I like baseball alot. I play that too. But hockey really is just that much better (in my opinion) Btw... are you still in New York? (I am) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbernard Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Yeah but I live in Manhattan now. I tried to live in the Bronx a few years back but I had to leave after only around a month, I've become a Manhattanite. I like walking everywhere if I can and I never got a driver's license. I think Trues might close this forum if we don't discuss mods soon!!! Umm, I'm working on a Hank Aaron face. There, that sentence was about mods.

peterbernard Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Here's a cool shot of Dwight Evans making a catch against the Yankees: ...and here's another face I'm working on, Sparky Lyle, throwing curves and sliders at the Red Sox: When I was a boy, I named my dog Sparky after Sparky Lyle, who won the Cy Young as a RELIEVER for the Yankees--that doesn't happen too often.
