ArmA Custom Faces For Free

[maddogx 13]

Hi, relation of size between your face/head and the ArmA head

model is very important, those with long face and a small head, like

me; can't import our face to the ArmA. But, in you case, if the texture

is as bright as i see it there, im sure that it must not look good in

game. A solution could be to do a dark brown layer above the whole

texture, cut off the parts like the eyes, the mouth intern, the hair,

and that kind of things; the nose and ears holes too. And then...

play with the trasparency of that dark brown layer until that you find

a skin colour that looks close enought to yours and that you think

that will look good enough in game.

That's what i'll do reffering to the colour, about the head size...

maybe take a trip to chernovil and "with luck", my head will grow

in size; chernovil... moruroa... the nevada desert... the camchatka

peninsula... i don't know, that's the only possible solution for that. Let's C ya

Actually the texture color is perfect, because I do have very light skin. (The sun an evil monster is. Hide from it we must! )

In general the texture fits onto the head very well, mainly because I spent about 2 hours trying to get it right.

I bet if BI would give us the option of slightly adjusting the head size on all 3 axes (x,y,z), we could make our heads more realistic. I guess that's a bit too RPG-ish though.

Hi all !

Anyone knows how to assign a face to a unit ? I mean assigning a face by "default" to some unit in a way of creating characters with name etc (for a mod) !

I tried by editing the p3d in hexa and replacing the location of the faces textures inside, but it didn't work

Thanks

Roguewar

I found the solution finally

Hi, i've made another custom face for all my good fellas out there

(i don't mean [this time] the absolut vodka or the SWE porno movies)

i've made the cover & sleeve texture out of the best M90 BDU photo

that i've found, with a better texture, of the rip stop M90 BDU, i'll

had made it better (i think); i hope that you like it.

The Face:

guys, anyone. Can someone make a face with the Turkish flag? Like 2 small flags on both sides of face, or a face complete red with the star and moon typical turkish flag. And one with camouflage face with sunglasses. I would really appreciate it/

wipman do you use a psd template file for the facemasks and arms etc so you can just go back and change something without having to redo the selections?

If so, could you possibly send it to me?

Thanks

[wipman 1]

Hi, yeah man, i was tired have to redo the 35 main elements of each

damn custom face, so now i've a fixed .psd as starting point with

all the layers of each thing, most names in english, unless of those

things that i don't know they're damn name in english; but only God

knows how many Mb that damn .psd weights. PM me a bloody mail

and i'll send you by YouSendIt the .psd into a .rar file ever that you

promise me that you'll not share it arround there unless with your

girlfryend/boyfryend and your damn fellas, k?. Let's C ya

I know you've all said that custom faces become pale because they are over 100kb, but I saved mine, and it is 18kb, yet still shows up white/pale.

[wipman 1]

Hi, another custom face, this time... cover and camo + sweater.

The Face:

#SniperRedFox, that must be because you have an ATI graphic card,

seems that the ATI users have problems with the custom faces,

that's a thing with the current ATI drivers, or that's what many

people say, so we can't do nothing about, the only solution is hope

that in future releases of the ATI drivers, that thing be solved. Let's C ya

What software do I use to decrypt the paa files into a format I can then edit and vie versa?

[KJAM 0]

Heres one of mine that I made using wipmans template and scanned textures of a pair of DPM Pants that I own

I'd love to see a screeny of what it looks like on a system that has a non ATI Card

Hi, i've try it and it looks very darkness, i guess that will serve better

for the SLA side than for the yankees or the rebels; this is how it

looks with my GF7600 GT:

In A USMC Grenadier.

I get an error message when trying to use some of the face i found here

That says

Quote[/b] ]image : c:\documents&settings\arma\......\face.jpg dimensions 320*320 not 2^n

What does that mean ? I understand it is a dimension problems, but i don't know how face work so i don't know what to do :/

[wipman 1]

Hi, i didn't that custom face for sure; the error may be (i'll bet my

soul on that) that the error is that 320x320 is something that the

game can't recognize. Resize it to 256x256 or to 512x512 and it

gonna work for sure. Let's C ya

Thanks wipman, the face that you see is nothing like what I see thanks to the ATI Overbright bug thingy.

[Misfit Leader 1]

Thanks for the tips, it works now.

(i am trying to contact him, but he is like a ghost )

[OrLoK 20]

hello all,

why not put some drop shadow on the top of the facemask to make it a bit more 3d? that way it should look more sarf like.

Let me know of that psd location and ill try to show you what i mean.

LoK

ps I'll knock up a feminine face, but she's gonna look butch, or like a very pretty boy due to model shape.

Will prob be after weekend, as im working nights all W/E.

horrid lady face test here's a quick one, face is a bit unscaled and no body features.

[wipman 1]

Hi, i don't know what you mean Orlok, due to my "good" english level;

but that face .psd file into a .rar can be found in:

http://www.armedassault.eu

in the forums, it'll still be there for some days, i think that until the

monday or so. Let's C ya

I can't see the image. Wrong url ?

[OrLoK 20]

Hello all

I was lying in bed this morning and realised how awful that first test is.

So if you cant see it, dont worry, youre not missing anything!

Ill do a proper one after the weekend.

@wipman:

Thanks for pointing out the psd file, i'll download and show you what i mean

Rgds

LoK

Ps

here's a quick test

needs more shadows on cheekbones and of course needs to have the hairy arms/legs etc. removed

Also, face needs proper time to blend in, but hey its a 5 min job!

I've scaled it down to half size due to forum restrictions.

[Misfit Leader 1]

Ok

Thanks !

5 mins of good work.

If i use it for game like this, she's gonna work ?

[OrLoK 20]

hello there

yes she/he/it should work as is.

Just download and put into your profile folder, the select the custom face option ingame.

rgds

LoK

here's a low low low quality version of the wipman template with slight shadow and highlighting on facemask to make it look a little more 3d. not tested yet, so criticism welcome.

rgds

LoK

ps oops just realised effect isnt on nose patch so may look a little odd. again anothr 3 mins work
