Facial hair: Taking requests
 

I'm toying with the idea of adding a few more facial hairs to the pile (http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...-hair-mod.html and http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ster-pack.html). Any specific requests? More stubble versions of stuff? Slight modifications of existing ones? Something brand new you've seen out there that I don't have? If you could post a pic in this thread with what you'd like to see, that would be goatee...I mean, great.

BTW, pretty much everything has to be "close cropped". By that I mean that the way OOTP does beards, they're essentially drawn on the guy's face with a magic marker. They can't really extend off the face. You could do some optical illusions if you forced a straight-on veiwing angle all the time but I don't want to confuse things too much.

Is the facial hair in the below post already included in your pack? I haven't looked at your pack to know yet.

Yeah, that looks like my stuff.

I'm all for any 19th-century facial hair styles. Handlebars would be great. I made some myself (see avatar) but you could probably do a better job. Muttonchops would be awesome, but I understand the facegen limitations may preclude really good ones.

I also played around with Hitler moustaches and combos, like the Hitler + soulpatch, and the handlebar + Billy Koch. Maybe you could expand on the idea.

I'd kill for some Rutherford B. Hayes impersonators on the ballfield.

And there's a story about Cap Anson sometimes wearing a fake beard while playing, as a joke. Can you make an obviously fake beard with strings going behind the ears? I'm serious...

I didn't read original post but i'll post it anyways: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walrus_moustache

Just look at the articles on the people like Teddy Roosevelt for an Idea.

Especially Lech Walesa :D

To save some time for those that haven't read the original post - these are the modded facial hair options already made available by Bobble.

I would love to see more stubble hair and five-o-clock shadow styles.

It wouldn't be hard to do a quick handlebar. Essentially a kaiser without the beard. I could also do a full-on Rolly Fingers easily enough.

I think I'll stay away from any Hitler-esque beards. I'm not sure of the usefulness...

I don't know if you could do a beard with strings. I don't know if the beard graphic reaches up high enough to get to the ears.


Bushy beards and 'staches are somewhat problematic but I could do thicker versions of the Earp or Trailer Fu.

Good idea, blueturf. Thanks.

Anything in particuular?

Don't know if its possible, but maybe how about some scruffier looking ones? At the moment everybody's beard is impeccably trimmed! :D

I was thinking a thicker version of the Earp, but could you make another version more like Teddy's? you know without the how i say "protrusions" at the corners of the lip.

I know where you're coming from, there. I can do that.

Gotcha. It's on my list. Oh, and BULLY!

I'd like to see some longer beards, perhaps a two-pointed beard, maybe a ZZTop length one.

Don't know if this is possible or not, but I also wouldn't mind seeing some accessories in the facial hair, like the way people wrap string around a 4 inch length of beard hair just below the chin and stick a bead at the end. Some of these might be more expected in foreign leagues, but would be fun on rare occasions.

I don't quite understand if thats a history reference or aimed at me :D.

Unfortunately, you can't do anything long. The 3D model of the head is essentially like one of those styrofoam heads that they display wigs on. You can draw a moustache or a beard on the styrofoam head with your magic marker, but you can't "paste" any hair on the syrofoam head. Not a great analogy but suffice it to say, you can't really do long beards or long hair.

That's sad, because it means no Chad Gaudin.

BTW, there is a great vintage baseball card collection here: Baseball Cards 1887-1914
(On a side note, I wonder if anyone has considered turning these into a "photopack" for historical league play)

Here are a couple other photos of 1800s baseball to show styles and give the poster above an idea of beard/moustache frequency at the time: Attachment 157670

A couple of different sideburn styles - down to the bottom of the ear, down to the jaw line, maybe - would be nice, maybe combined with some of the mustaches.

There already are some in the first face pack

They combine with any of the moustache/beards. Is that not what you're talking about?

I'm an advocate of the unkempt look. In fact, even with Bobble's 69 choices, I run my 5-o'clock shadow at about 60% of my league.

I currently use the default. I guess what I'm really asking is if there is a possiblity to make a better one than the default? Maybe one with very faint shadow and another with more.

Another idea would be shadow on the chin only and another full shadow and another chin curtain shadow. Just a little more variety in the stuble/shadow look.

Are blonde and red hair possible.
