Cyberface Help...

[WinnieThaPujols]

OK, I'm using the latest version of Big Schmooz's model.BIG, so... what that means is that I have all the latest cyber faces.

I didn't like the cyber face Aaron Miles had. He doesn't have a goatee! I edited it in Photoshop (I basically copied Varitek's goatee and pasted it onto Miles face, smudged it up a bit, etc...). Anyway, I'm following jogar's tutorial now, and it says to convert the BMP into a FSH file. However, when I attempt to import the BMP file, I get the following error: "Stream read error."

It still adds the file, but it's messed up. There's no preview of it in the upper-right box, the dimensions who up as like 16 x 16 (they're 256 x 512, in reality), etc... I'm guessing it's because I'm saving it wrong when I'm using Photoshop. So am I possibly saving the BMP wrong? I tried saving it as 16 bit, 24 bit and 32 bit... same error every time...

how are you changing it from bmp to fsh?

OK, here's exactly what I'm doing:

I'm opening up EA Graph, finding the file I want to edit... from here, I'm copying the c832.fsh file directly from EA Graph, and I'm pasting it into a new Photoshop file.

I edit the file, and then save it as a bitmap.

It's when I'm trying to change it from a bitmap to a FSH file that I'm getting trouble. I open fshEd, then I go to:

Object --> Add New --> Object

When the next screen pops up, I hit "new," browse to the file, click "Open" and I get the "Stream Read Error" message.

What you should do is extract the 832.fsh from models.big. Open it up, and there's the image you should replace. Overwrite the current .bmp with the gotee version, drag the index over nfshtool, and it creates the .fsh for you.
