Status: offline 		I've made some FaceGen faces for Maximum football. The file has just been uploaded to FBMAX.COM. It contains about 45 faces, each face in 2 flavors. One (once converted to .bmp) to be used in game on the player model (F###u). The second to be used on the player card (F###p). The same face that's on the player card is the same face that shows up in game.

I'd like it if some of you guys could try it out and let me know how it works for you. Any comments or suggestions welcome.

Well, if it doesn't show, it wouldn't really matter, but what does show?

Status: offline 		Thanks for trying them out, guys. Yeah, I think they're going to have to be a little thinner. That's why it was version 0.9. My concern was that I didn't want to have to distort each face manually to get the face the right size and still have enough face stretched toward the ears so that didn't show through. Good to have some familiar faces (pun intended) around, Deft.

Has anyone had any luck with the PAD.bmp file? From what I've seen, that file is not used at all. I thought it was just the viewer I was using. The ear pads on those players look VERY unrealistic. They're in some serious need of shading.

In this case, I would likely run the face files that are meant for the 3D players through a paint or posterize effects process in a paint program. They would match the game better when finished.

Interesting observation. Anyone else get the same impression that the faces are too "real" for the uniform/field/stadium?
