Custom Face

Recommended Posts

Still no fix for other parts of the body, how hard can that be to fix Bis? :(

Very hard. They should remap the whole arms+legs+face/head texture on all the playable character models with a single texture file that contains all those parts in a single texture instead have 'em separated, loosing texturing quality (because the smaller size that would have) or... loosing performance because each character skin texture should have a size of 4096x4096 or something like that; aside of the time required to remap every playable model with the new texture and the required time to make this new texture. So... it'll be very very hard for BIS to fix this issue. Seems to me that they don't wanted to allow a good support for custom faces this time as this is intended, they'd knew what they were doing and what it would do; so don't spect it to ever change on the game's life as this is how they'd wanted it to be. Everyone using the game's faces and period.

I would of thought that allowing the use of default body parts with a custom face i.e. just the head customised, would not be that difficult for Bis? Not having artwork for the arms & legs people could live with.

Any Chance BIS as a Christmas present :cool: Have a good one

Or, didn't they have the foresight to do it right the first time like every other arma game so we can have custom faces?

Hello Everyone,

While messing around with re-texturing I realized there was no addon, that i could find, that gave the user a camo paitned face choice in their profile. I am going to attempt to construct an addon that will make these available and want to know the level of interest out there in the community for something like this. Please let me know of any suggestions or general comments of this specific type of addon. I will very shortly release some images showing "Alpha" level progress with the addon.

Super Early Proof of Concept:

p.s. to my knowledge this has not been discussed for arma 3, I checked the forums to make sure, so this should be a unique thread.

Nope. Merged with existing discussion.

I was working on some custom face paint, One night I decided to do a female face, Never tested.. I'll have to search my old drive. But I might pull something together.

It's your lucky day, miss: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26169

The mod is going to be improved still, but it's amazing also by now^^ The only problem is that you got banned...but I'm posting here whenever someone with your same question would read.

By the way, I have a question too: anyone knows if it's possible to use the vanilla faces from the campaign ? For example the Kerry one from the "Survive" chapter or Miller's one.

It seems to be just the Head, . Now shows default arms & legs as suggested. So I think it's just the usual Arma 3 face.jpg.

If anyone knows if its possible to have a different jpg for arms & legs post it up!

But its nice to be able to use custom face again, :) Tks Bis.
