Thanks, btw nice tutorial

Thanks, btw nice tutorial

Thanks

can u make 1 for your Live and post the final result here....can u make me in ur live and show me cuz i can send u my pic...lol

hey kbryant8, yeah, guys need to know more about ebo files, like ME. i have made a couple of cyberfaces and they turned out ok. but i noticed that their headshapes are all the same. i found out though that there are certain ebo files that change the hair, but that's about it. i'm thinking that OTHER EBO FILES have to be present to change the headshapes (more like the player's face i chose to edit), and i say that it's important for you to now teach everybody, including me thanks kbryant8.

ok, so i figured out that you need to extract the playerlobB.viv to acquire a certain player's headshape but, they don't quite turn out the way i want it. in comparison, the "un-headshaped cyberface patch" looks better. so i settled for it. but there's another problem, since these created players have no headband.ebo, the headbands don't show when i edit them in the game....please help. thanks!

hm, nice tutorial dude.

thanks, anyway, is it okay if i use cartooon for the player image such shohoku player?

sorry, but um, how do you ACTUALLY create YOUR own facial features? say for example, you look for a pic file of yourself and then you want to put it in the game and want to make it look like people in the game how theyre all "cyber" faced? i need help with that side of the problem. like creating a player mode, but with YOUR own face. someone help me out here please?

edit: the steps shown here seemed a bit too simple to understand, as if there werent deeply explained process thoughts into how you actually get it to work and how the editing program works, besides photoshop since i well know with it. ive been trying to post in other subjects but ive been waiting weeks and weeks and no reply. also, the links are down and i cant get access to them. i would give whoever BIG props to anyone who can help me out here. thanks.

EDIT: OH COME ONNNNN YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! IM NOT GONNA WAIT MY BUTT ALL DECADE JUST FOR YOU JERKS TO FRIGGIN REPLY. I DONT GOT ALL DAY Y'KNOW?!!!
freakin GIVE ME AN ANSWER!

Take ur time and re-read all the tutorials and then play with photoshop...practise makes perfect.

BTW: Keep in mind no one HAS to reply to you. I just had to delete a quad-tripple post from you; continue acting like a fucking jackass and you'll be off this forum quicker than....than something really quick. This is your second and last retard alert warning...

hmm...my bad, i was just in a frustrated state of mind.

i was wondering, do you need to already have had a created player in the game before making your own CF?

Well, no, but since you'll have to create the new player at some point you might as well do that first off so you can give him the cyberface as soon as it's done.

i don't understand this how to save that file,into what directory?into sgsm?

umm..guys..how do i make my own face in photoshop?
