Possible FaceGen Project for Fictional Players (132k+ On The Making)

[bigd51]

Can anyone point me to (or give) instructions on how to make Facegens? I want to try making some myself.

Start with the demo. Available to download via the link below. Don't worry, the watermark doesn't show in OOTP because it is under the hat.

The pay-for facegen software is superior but the demo is more than fine for things like fictional facegen creation from any face found on the internet. You want a straight on mug shot type pose, no smiles. Give it a go!

Edit - And don't take just what you get - master the sliders. That's what makes a great facegen.

Much appreciated!

This project was so cool, kind of sucks that it doesn't look like it will be continued

How do you use these fg?

[LansdowneSt]

It looks like the files have names like 00045.fg and are organized by facial types in the folders available for download. Since fictional players have the Historical Minors ID field in the Player Editor blank and that is the first place the game looks to match an fg file... you just look for a number of the facial type you want and type the number there.

So, if I wanted to assign a face to an Italian sounding name, I guess you look for an Italian subfolder (assuming it's that specific by facial type) and look at the list of file names, say 00001.fg to 00567.fg and type that number (just the number, not the extension ".fg") into that Historical Minors field. If you have all of his numbered .fg files in the "fg_files" folder in your game, the field being populated will cause the game to look for a match in said folder.

Then whatever face that is, will load.

Quick question, where do I d/l and copy the files into?

Any files saved as .fg go into the fg_files folder. The images if still saved as numbers would require you to go to a player and in the Player Editor add a corresponding number to the Historical Minors ID field. That is the field that seeks a match to a file name in the fg_files folder.

cool, thanks mate, another quick question, when I hit new fictional picture button, where is that image generated from, i.e., what folder?

From the in-game process unassociated with these (no folder - they have no .fg file). For these you'd add a number to that field I mentioned and then refresh picture.

roger, roger, mate!
