Hehe. Good thing you didn't ask me to do The Stig - wihtout his helmet. Here is one based on James May, but TBH it looks the least like the real thing of all the requests I've done so far.

If you downloaded it from download.com it looks like the file that intalls the program has been packed into a zip file. Were you able to open the zip? You will need winzip or winrar or something to open it. You do not need to have Photo Shop to use the modeller, but if you wish to make png files with transparent backgrounds, for example, you will need some sort of graphics editor.

You can download it from here, or use the download.com link on the page.

http://www.facegen.com/demos.htm

But if it has been installed properly, there should be no reason to download it again. Where is the installation on your HD? Typically I think it could be C:\Program Files\FaceGen Modeller 3.2 Free. Have you tried to browse to the installation folder and click FaceGenDemo.exe to start the program (I don't recall it automatically creating a desktop shortcut)?

His face is alot fatter than james mays, but still a brilliant effort, and btw that shearer was FB!!

Yes the face does look fatter. The Modeller's PhotoFit function doesn't seem to work so well when the face its reading has a double chin. I guess my "free hand" editing wasn't good enough to compensate. icon_smile.gif

duccio - those faces are top quality, excellent stuff.

One thing though - if people want their own faces in the game, surely they can take a digital photo of themselves, crop it, resize it, save it and then use the picture?

I am not sure how it works so I could be wrong.

BTW - with all these requests you cannot be playing much FM at the moment - lol

Naturally I have FM running in the background while working with the faces. icon14.gif

Any picture can be put in the game. It is not necessary to resize as the game will do it automatically for human manager pics. Images can be attached in the wizard when adding a new manager, or in similar manner facepacks work.

Great work duccio.

Could you do one for me?

If so. Young guy. Strawberry-blonde hair. No facial hair. Glasses with clear rims (if possible?). With hair, can i have slight bits of actual blonde dotted around.

Thanks in advance.

How could anyone mistake that manic smile!

Looks alright. One point that could be made is that you have probably made that mug from a picture where Ronaldinho was smiling. It has actually worked very well and the modeller has included his carachteristic teeth in the end result. We are only using still images in FM, so its good - just don't open his mouth in the modeller and reveal a second set of teeth. icon_smile.gif Usually its good to use pictures where the person has his mouth shut, but as I said, here the open mouth has actually been a good thing as long as you want a smiling Ronaldinho.

The data folder should be in the game's main directory (where fm.exe is located). The address for the hairs ought to be something like C:\Football Manager 08\data\facegen\hair - and there subfolders for different kinds of styles for different general ethnicities. Be carefull not to save on the hair pictures or otherwise mess with them.

I am using version 8.0.2

The most simple way to attache an image to a manager profile is to use the manager wizard. But it can only be done when adding a new manager. However, it is also possible to attache an image right in the middle of the game aswell. I touched this subject on the first page of this thread, but I guess it doesnt hurt if I go over it again. icon_smile.gif

1. Basically it works the same way as ordinary facepacks. You will need a config.xml file. If you have any facepacks, take one config.xml from there and edit accordingly. Or use the one below. Copy paste the code to a text editor and save as config.xml.

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">

<record>

<!-- resource manager options -->

<!-- dont preload anything in this folder -->

<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>

<!-- turn off auto mapping -->

<boolean id="amap" value="false"/>

<!-- logo mappings -->

<!-- the following XML maps pictures inside this folder into other positions

in the resource system, which allows this folder to be dropped into any

place in the graphics folder and still have the game pick up the graphics

files from the correct places

-->

<list id="maps">

<!-- Auto generated by fmXML -->

<record from="filename" to="graphics/pictures/person/idnumber/portrait"/>

</list>

</record>

</pre>

Replace filename with the name of the manager picture without its extention (.png) and idnumber with the id of the person you want to attach the picture to. You can find the id by clicking preferences -> display & sound -> show unique ids -> confirm and then browsing to the person's profile.

2. Place the manager picture and the config.xml to for example:

My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\Graphics\Managers

Create the graphics and managers folders as needed.

3. To make the picture appear in the game, click preferences -> display & sound and untick use skincache and select always reload skin on confirm -> confirm. The picture should now be visible in the game. Skin and cache settings can be changed back if you want.

Bowl head? Have you noticed any generated personnel in the game having this sort of hair (I've mostly used hairs from the game)? There are one or two that are maybe something to this direction - quite similar to Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone's timeless style. icon_razz.gif

To create them faces, I've used Singular Inversion's FaceGen Modeller and a graphics editor. Not awfully difficult at all, except sometimes when trying to make a face that should look like someone real. Could take 20 minutes or much much longer.

The Beckham look-alike looks great! icon_biggrin.gif

Not meaning to be a pain, but could you change it so that it has no beard/mustache/rubble (whatever you call it) and with a little swoop going somewhere near his eye?

something like this, except that could you please make the front part (on his right) longer (somewhere about just above the eye)

Cricket is one of the sports I don't really follow at all. Isn't cricket where the term "hat-trick" originates from? After accomplishing three whatisit, a player would be given a hat?

ah right - um - no idea about which sport first used hat-trick.....

it is as you say used in cricket if a bowler takes 3 wickets in 3 balls so there is a connection with 3 goals....

as i say no idea which came first (anyone else??)...

i have heard that in football the hat-trick meant that the crowd would pass a hat around the ground and collect a few coins for any player scoring a hat-trick - not sure if i believe this though....

also in some countries i believe a football hat-trick (even now) is only considered to have occurred if it is what us brits call a perfect hat-trick (i.e. right foot, left foot and head - in any order!!)

anyway - enough about cricket and old footy folk law - back to the faces - still exellent work mate icon14.gif

Also in ice hockey many consider it to be a hat-trick only when the 3 goals have been scored successively. If we are to believe, and why wouldn't we, the Oxford English Dictionary, the term hat-trick means and has it's origins in:

hat-trick

• noun three successes of the same kind, especially (in soccer) a player scoring three goals in a game or (in cricket) a bowler taking three wickets with successive balls.

— ORIGIN referring originally to the club presentation of a new hat to a bowler taking a hat-trick.

I think I read something about it (probably in a football related material) a long time ago. icon_smile.gif

After I had made this I thought maybe you meant something quite different. The cranium or hair actually being like the narrowing end of an egg? Tell me what you think.
