63impala Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Before all of the harsh critics come out of the woodwork. This is a work in progress. I know i have to work on the eyes a little bit but here is the preview to a Giambi cyberface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Jerk Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I think the first thing you need to do is start using pressbox photos, because its impossible to improve on EA's work if you're using low-rez photos. http://www.mlb.com/pressbox/photos/headsho.../114739_raw.jpg Also, you need to try and match the colour of the face with the base you're using, the one now looks too pink. And the last piece of advice would give on this attempt is that he still looks like he's smiling, so try to blend out the creases that go from the sides of his nose to the sides of his mouth. But the mapping so far is the best part of the attempt, everything seems to be lined up pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63impala Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 The press box photo of Giambi is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kccitystar Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 which is why it's always good to take pieces of the face instead of the entire face, i.e. the eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63impala Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Never thought of doing that! Thanks KC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 it still looks better than EA's job...just add some touches here and there, and you are doing great for a "rookie" facemaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 It just needs a few touch-ups. It's a little bit small around the eyes I think, it looks squished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63impala Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 thanks dunit!, i have gotten a lot of great mods here and just want to try and give something back. I will get better the more i do these things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 good to see people giving back. i dont have the mod skills like faces and whatnot (or tools, i dont have photoshop and im saving my money for a car) but i try to entertain with my dynasties.

63impala Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 I actually got photoshop for free from a friend that gave me his older version when he bought the newest one. I learned how to use it rather quickly as i am good at figuring out software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 i am quite the computer noob lol. when i first joined this place it took me a month and a half to learn how to run the 06 beta mod lol. anyway how is the face going? i was thinking about requesting this because giambi looks horrible thanks to EA.

63impala Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 i havent had too much time to work on this but hope so during the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63impala Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Here is an update on Giambi. The eyes have to be worked on more but i think I am slowly getting there. Oedit is a pain sometimes. When i think i moved the eyes too much it isnt enough and vice a versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big shmooz Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I like what you are trying to do with the nose. But you should note that it has a bigger curve. If you look at a profile pic (I wish I had one) you could see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63impala Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 I know what you mean. I have been putting slight curves to it. I try doing things ever so slight. I have tons of pics to go by. Thanks for the comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom2662 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I think its pretty good. Your better than EA thats for sure. Keep working at it, if you need some pics feel free to ask me i have plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big shmooz Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I know what you mean. I have been putting slight curves to it. I try doing things ever so slight. I have tons of pics to go by. Thanks for the comments. Ok, that makes sense. Do things in your own style. It looks like it's coming along really well. I am glad to chip in with ideas. I wish I had the talent graphicswise to do more than just talk LOL. I have done some portraits, but don't know how to make alphas. I also do know how to improve on other people's work in uniforms a bit. That's the extent of my modding. (& of course the models.big work & tinkering with other files, which does not really qualify) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63impala Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Shmooz, Do you have photoshop? I can write a tutorial for you on how to make alphas. It is actually really simple once you get the hang of it. I do all of my own portraits. Hopefully I can get into audio modding in the future as I hate when a player doesnt have anything said about them in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63impala Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Ok I am satisfied with the outcome. I curved the nose more than before and think it is ready for a release. Any comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Jerk Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 The eyes still look messed up, the nose looks like its mapped wrong, and using a low quality pic the texture looks too blurry. Just try using the pressbox photo once, there's nothing wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63impala Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 since you always bash my versions then maybe you should do one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big shmooz Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 63impala, actually I don't have photoshop. :- { Btw... I don't think The_Jerk (no pun intended) is bashing your work. I think he is only trying to help on how he feels may be a better way of doing it for you to get the best cyberface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Jerk Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'm only trying to help, if you don't want suggestions then don't post previews and ask for them. since you always bash my versions then maybe you should do one. Okay, I'll have a first preview up in about an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
