AstroEric Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 This is a sort of carry-over from the request board, where, since no one had anything more constructive to do than make fun of poor Esequiel Astacio, I decided to give making cyberfaces another try after having totally sucked at it when trying before. I still totally suck at it, but I'm getting a little better. I'd like opinions on the following: Wandy Rodriguez Orlando Palmeiro Brandon Backe Mike Lamb Willy Taveras My video card, as I noted in the other thread, is crappy. I'm not sure how this affects the crappiness of these faces though. --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 So far so good. Please keep it coming. Do ones of guys not done already by EA. There are Astros fans out there that care. Don't worry about whether or not someone gives feedback. As you can see from my Create A Player mod, you almost get NO feedback. Keep them coming. Thank you for your work. BTW, The Mike Lamb look great. Did EA do one of him already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 No. Mike Lamb looks like a Mongoloid in EA's version, because he's tall, but surprisingly light, and has a generic face. Thanks for the feedback! I'll get cracking on some more soon. Any suggestions on who to do next? --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbully Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Lamb looks good - the coloring looks a little off though - I can definately tell it's him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogar84 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 What pics are u using? They should be the hi res, since ur faces look a little blurry. Also fix Backe's eyes, they look a little weird for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 I'm using the hi-res, but probably over-using the soften tool for blending things. And I've already fixed Backe's eyes...didn't realize they'd turn out that crazy looking! I also didn't realize how bad my graphics really were until I was trying to take decent screenshots of these faces. I need to run out and buy a new card when I get money (read: perhaps in the next lifetime). I'll keep tweaking these -- one of the problems I've run into is that when I apply the textures in oedit, the darker coloring around the sides of the bottom of the nose never matches up unless I widen the nose to near-ridiculous proportions. And when I try to use the UV map editor, things get too wacky. Any advice on solving this? --Eric --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjbourg1 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 There are Astros fans out there that care. Yes there are, and I am one of them! The ones you've got screenshots for look pretty good; I like the Lamb and Wandy ones quite a bit. How about a Brad Ausmus or Jose Vizcaino face? Just a thought b/c those guys have generic faces in the game and actually get some playing time for the Astros in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscosuper Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 They're not too bad......I've got room in my model.big.....and I'd definately take them over the generic faces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 I worked on doing an Ausmus, but screwed it up royally. I'll have another go at it sometime this week. Vizcaino's up next on the list too. Then, I think, Astacio and Qualls. --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Ahhh! One-Eyed Demon From Hell or what happens when you ignore the advice not to mess with the eyes in Jogar's tutorial while making a Jose Vizcaino cyberface? --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjbourg1 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Except for the eyes (obviously), that is a really good Jose Vizcaino face (especially the nose). Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroEric Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to start over with all the OEditing on Viz because of the empty eye socket thing. But I can keep the texture. It's going to have to wait though...I'm in the middle of moving. My apartment looks like a bomb went off inside of it and I have to be out by Sunday. My new apartment secretly had cats inside of it, which I'm allergic to, and I'm having issues with the new landlord about it. But my current apartment has someone moving in on Sunday. I feel like cutting off one of my own legs and beating people to death with it. But the other news is that I made a 2x cyberface of my Dad last night that turned out pretty okay, so I'm going to try that with the remainder of the faces. Also, expect an Astros CTS/License/Loading pack and a complete set of Houston-themed menu music in the next few weeks, or, at least, when I get internet at my new place, which may or may not be my new place. :wall: --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroEric Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 I'm a scaredy-cat. I'm here at the new place and allergies haven't bothered me once. But there have been more disasters from the factory floor. This time the attempted design was Brad Ausmus, Astros team capitan. The first picture, I think, kinda resembles Brad. At least you could tell what I was going for: The second picture is the same face, same game, in the batter walkup screen. It looks like Roger Clemens with diarrhea. I dunno what went wrong here, but obviously I'm messing up somewhere (probably everywhere). Here, for critique's sake, is the bitmap I used for the fsh file: I laid this over a barely edited Mike Mussina o-file. Jog and the gang...give me advice. What am I doin' wrong? --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 stuff is looking good and you're getting betta'. When is your target release date, if you have one. -Mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 I'm thinking about posting the ones I'm happy with temporarily to my website. I can't offer a target date because I'm working 50 hours a week right now, going to school and planning my wedding. I don't own much of my life. Anyway, I'm complaining too much in this thread. None more. When I get a group I'm happy with, I'll release a pack here on MVP. Thanks for the compliments! --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
