That head mesh looks very good, you know it's good when she looks cute *without* hair :) Thought I'd just pitch this out there in case there might be something there of use between textures/meshes as a visual reference - Erica and Abby Faces I put the video together after being inspired by both your very good work and the female body project being worked on by HorribleGoat - and I have to admit I forgot along the way that creating faces in Arma 3 is ten times more work than doing it through a game like Oblivion that comes with its own face editor - so maybe the video isn't worth all that much after all lol - but I thought I may as well link to it anyhow rather than just junk it in the event it may have some use. Both Erica and Abby were certainly characters of some 'strength' to them as females in their respective films, and are quite cute as well imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fantastic work, I an shooting in the dark here but maybe you should exaggerate a few female features. You have done exceptional work and this could go into any museum, but in the game, maybe a little like cartoons, you have to accent the positive. LOL As a graphic artist I would humbly suggest a not-so-narrow face, higher cheeks, more lashes and smoother chin. PS I am a graphic artist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zeealex 2029 Posted August 8, 2017 hey nigheve! bear in mind she's still a heavy WIP and generally the heads generally look much better in game than in the renders. Our friend up there is a proportionally correct base in which other variations will be derived from... TL;DR she's supposed to look a little on the boring side right now anyway. don't worry she'll start fleshing out soon 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This will now become the new standard workflow for all of my ladies and I will be writing up my own documentation on this at some point for anyone who wants to follow on or make their own custom head models. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zeealex 2029 Posted August 10, 2017 because @HorribleGoat is doing such an epic job of the skeleton i'm going to prioritize some time to some civilian gear, i'll be doing jeans and T-shirt just to ensure everything is okay. i think it's more important now than ever seeing as Laws of War is focusing on a more civilian side of the game. his progress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFaGwbYdRRo&feature=youtu.be 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krycek 349 Posted August 10, 2017 Together with @HorribleGoat your project becomes dlc material. One day the men of Altis and Tanoa will thank you for breaking the sausage curse. @zeealex, do you have in plan more outfits in the future like journo/press or paramedic? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zeealex 2029 Posted August 10, 2017 I can certainly make journalist and paramedic gear, it's within my capabilities right now i'm just testing the waters with HG to ensure my meshes work correctly with his skeleton etc etc :) 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't work out if BI is teasing an upcoming women release with Laws of War or just making fun of us. There are a lot of references to women, and the AAN article in the tutorial showcase is even written by a female journalist who is pictured in game.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
