I'm certainly not trying to fight or bash his work, I figured if he fixed the things that needed to be fixed, he'd be happier and more likely to continue patching. If someone saw something in any of my patches that needed to be fixed, I'd be very thankful and happy that I could make a more accurate version.

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.

Actually I suggested taking pieces of other good photos of giambi, for example, if the Pressbox photo of Giambi has a good piece around his eyes, you can use that, and use other parts from other pictures as a guide.

The face looks good for 63impala however he has to map it properly. I'd like to see the texture to see what needs work. No need to bash him, lol at least he's trying.

Btw... don't forget to insert the metal bin & the name files.

I have found loads of files that fail to have this in the.fsh & this causes problems.

The new Josh Beckett & loads of files on the Marlins team are all missing these files. I wonder if this is why crashes are occuring with Florida so much.

I tried inserting the files but then they crashed completely right away.

Btw... if anybody has advice on how to fix this issue of the 2 missing files, please post it. Thanks.

I don't think its the curve of the nose, it just needs to be remapped. The nostrils appear too high on the nose, and look too close together (most evident in the side shot). The other thing I notice is the crease in his cheek near his chin. It seems like it would only appear if he's smiling, so maybe try to blend it out, or blend in the texture from the pressbox picture.

But what do you think about my attempt? Any suggestions?

Giambi has a huge dimple in his cheek even when not smiling. I like your attempt but i just dont like that pressbox photo. He doesnt look natural in it. he looks stiff like he has a 2x4 in his butt. Giambi has a stange nose to begin with.

I know he has a weird mouth in the pressbox pic, but its something thats easily fixed. And he does have a small dimple on his left cheek when he's not smiling, but the one in your pic isn't a dimple. It looks like when he was smiling he squished his chin against his neck and made a little double chin or something.

And yes he does have a weirdly shaped nose, but his nostrils are still on the bottom, not halfway up. Just give it a shot remapping his nose so the nostrils are lower and I know it'll look more realistic. And if you don't like it after, then no problem, stick with the original.

But I guess the main thing that I still notice first when I look at your attempt is that its still blurry. You might not like the pressbox pic, but its the only way to improve on EA's work.

Well, if it were a face for a guy that didn't have one people wouldn't critique nearly as much. But since Giambi already has a face you're in competition against EA by default.

Ok I reworked some things. Here are some screenshots. Hey Shmooz, Do you think i should curve the nose some more?

Maybe I am mistaken, but the nose seems to look less curved now than before. It seems on the profile pic to look very straight.

Yes Smooz you are right I am working on that as we speak. I have 3 different faces of giambi that I am working on to see which is best and I have to curve the nose more.

Yes i did and still dont like it. Here is what I have so far. It is not close to being done as I have to blend the face more, tweak the eyes a bit , and just touch up here and there.

Here's mine for reference,

I don't think it's blending you have to work on, personally I don't ever blend anything on mine. Blending blurs the texture, I use the healig tool (looks like a band-aid) to match the tuexture of the face to the base.

But I think your effort would even look better if it was mapped a little better.

Hey Jerk,

Blending was a bad description. I should have called it healing. Like I said I am far from done. This new effort was completely from scratch as i deleted the others.

The EA face doesn't even look like him! There is no competition! Any effort to make a face is already better than EA's work.
