FaceGen

Wed May 21, 2008 7:42 pm

Hey,
I have recently purchased a program called FaceGen which uses images of your face to create a 3D model of your head. I was just wondering if this software could be of any use to you NBA live patchers.

Here is an image of my head which it has generated.

FaceGen gives me the options of exporting the 3d heads in many different formats such as 3D Studio (3DS), Maya ASCII (ma), Lightwave 6.x LWO2 (LWO), Wavefront OBJ, Softimage dotXSI 3.0 (XSI), VRML 1 (wrl), VRML 97 (wrl) or STL.

if any of these formats could be used in the process of constructing a face in nba live, i will be more then happy to help any patches by using this software.

BTW here is an example of the face exported as wavefront file.

If this software could be of any use to you please contact me

since headshapes are files with ".ebo" extensions, i don't really know how this could be of any help to CF patchers. but maybe, someone could find a way to convert them (if it is even possible.).

nice program though.

It's not possible to convert the facegen headshape to Live's ebo.

However, what I did was take a screenshot like you did, one from the front, and a profile shot from the right side. Then I put those images in photoshop and limited it;s window to the side of the screen. I opened the ebo editor in the other side and tried to match the headshape in the ebo editor to the shape of my facegen screenshot. It worked out pretty well.
