Here is an example of what I can get, this images was first placed on a 54x81 jpg. Is the facegen perfect - no, but it does get the players main features well. When reduced to in game sizes the facegen looks good even though the photo was grainey. I did not use the 180x270 phot9 for the facegen - I used a much smaller image. The 180x270 are used by me to evaluate the facegen output with the player's features and shapes. Sorry that there is just not enough there for the earlier years and very few images found with google searches.

No Sitting Around the House
Once again, BR Bullpen furnishes a fairly-comprehensive biography of Bryan House. Theirs is a little dry, however, so I'll throw in a quick summary:
Originally from Lockport IL (where he might have been watched by a young Dave Wrona), House was the Cubs' 9th-round pick in 1984, out of Illinois State. Speedy, he stole at least 30 bases in all six of his full pro seasons, and had at least a 2-1 success rate in every year but 1987. (The BR sketch talks about his being in the leaders in caught stealing, but that's just volume; Rickey Henderson was caught a record 41 times in 1982, when he stole the 130, after all.) He was good at getting on base, although it took him time to adjust to his level. He posted a .394 in his second A-ball season (1986) and .398 in his second crack at AA in 1988. His major problem seems to have been defense. Not that he wasn't good at defense, just where he was playing. You see, House was a second baseman, and the Cubs already had one of those. Wore #23, in the Hall of Fame, etc. So they toyed with the idea of moving him to the outfield, playing him in RF for half the season in 1987 and 1989 and in CF for most of the year in 1988. (The AI in my game has made a CF of him, also.) After all, given his speed, he should have caught lots of fly balls, right? Except that…he didn't. Never an outfield Range Factor over 2. I don't know if he had trouble picking up the ball off of the bat or if he was only fast for the 90 feet between 1B and 2B and not so much for the longer distances in the outer garden or what. In frustration, the Cubs traded him to Texas after 1989 for Rey Sanchez (whom I never knew might once have become a Texas Rey-nger), but when House failed to develop in his second year at AAA as he had with his second tours at A and AA, the Rangers cleaned House, cutting the 28-year old from Oklahoma City. Still, he had a career .360 OBP, was a very good base stealer and a skilled middle infielder. Seems as though some big league team could have found him a home… |

I would like to thank Amazin69 for helping me stay active on my facegen creation library. We have reached the milestone of 50 facegens created since I started doing these. Congrats Amazin69 - "If you will request them, they will come" I have truly enjoyed doing this for you.

Not sure if the quality is good enough for a facegen of this guy but Don Olexio became a star pitcher on several World Series winning teams in my current historical league.
In real life Donald Hugo Olexio pitched just 2 seasons of minor league ball. He was 9-4 for the 1950 Butler Tigers of the Mid-Atlantic League and followed that up by going 5-3 in 17 appearances for the Durham Bulls of the Carolina League the following season. From there he would vanish from professional baseball. The image of Olexio comes from a team picture of the 1950 Butler club where his last name is mis-identified as Olexic. In my replay he has had a much better career, finishing with a 122-70 career record for Detroit while going 2-1 in 5 post-season starts.

I think this turned out well. I did have an issue with one eye with the cross-hair of facegen never quite getting it right, after 4 attempts I decided that this was the best I can do. I have uploaded the facegen file as well as the facegen output and a 180x270 image for those that like photos.... enjoy James

This guy was fun to do. He was good player, who got to play for a long time. Played because he obviously loves the game - not for the fame. Love hearing about these players, because it is hard just to go through the reference files and find these guys. Well here he is - I used the second photo because I could get more of his facial features in the facegen - I may use him some where in one of my leagues, altering the fg to skew him younger and having an actual history of him in my league..

Thanks outlaw. I started a league back in 2015 that i play every game as the Yankees. Im now in 2020. I've added missing minor and foreign league stats to create accuracy. Adriana had a really nice LMB career, top 20 career stats for most offensive categories. Two other players who were stars in the LMB i dont have facegens for are Roberto Mendez and Willie Romero. If you could find time to do them, i would really appreciate it.

Mendez/Romero
I think the facegens reflect the images on the photos very well. Romero looks great in game at the smaller size - great job. I did make changes for my own collection on Mendez. I do not criticize any ones work and will say that the image does look like the source. For my use the image appeared too red in game and I made one for myself. My goal was to soften the colors a bit so that the image looks good in game, and I also wanted to see the facial details without the redness. I edited the source image a bit and redone the facegen. I hope no one minds that I post it here. In game the Mendez image looks pretty good and the teeth are more visible. I did have to make on concession - Mendez probalby has a darker skin tone than my version., It was difficult to balance the tone with the redness and still get the features I was hoping to get.

Not sure if this one has been done, I've looked and have not found anything. Wondering if you're willing to give it a shot.
Tim Tebow He may be older and a long shot to ever do anything in the Majors but at least he's hitting at a respectable level at AA. Have been previewing your FaceGens and they are very well done. |

My Tebow...
Did a Tewbow from the image posted - I like it - a more mature looking Tebow. Also it was only 6.7 kb.

A smiling Tebow in a Mets uni
This image looks photoshopped but I want to put it out here anyway - added it to my Mets database.

The others you found (while good) were just a tad too high on the template...yours is perfectly placed and looks the most realistic. Thanks! |
