Talking heads… euhm… sculpted faces

May 4, 2008 12:21 pm

I picked this one up from the Very Important Pixels shop out of curiosity: a talking sculpted face. Choices ranged from Bill Clinton, over Hillary, over OJ Simpson, but in the end I decided to settle for Angelina Jolie’s lovely face. It’s rather fun to play with. For about 5 minutes, and I got to test the flickr film upload thing, and fraps. Could be interesting though, for use in machinima in stead of gestures on your normal face? If…

  1. You get a custom one made.
  2. You take some time finding the right skin to match your face, and setting windlight settings so it does not look weird on any skin. (Objects react different to light than avatar textures.)
  3. There’s an option to get rid of the stupid hand gesture that comes with talking

And good news, Angelina Jolie’s face is transferable. So if you always wanted to look like her, or test this yourself, say ‘hi’! Mind that I do want my face back after a while! ;)

Euh Vint…. point 3 about the hand gestures ?! PlayTypingAnim => FALSE in debug settings does just that or am I missing something here?

You’re missing something. (I think)

When you use voice and the sculpted face, it moves it lips (yeey!) when you talk and does some kind of irritating ‘etcetera’ hand gesture when you talk. So it’s not the typing animation that bothers me. ;)

I don’t see an e-mail link so quickly, so I’ll just linkdump…

Read it, spread it, or hate it of course.

Well apparently talking is synonymous to just typing/reading nowadays xD, so I can understand the confused loki

Lovely voice, too.

Ty Melissa, you should hear it today! It’s getting close the the state it was in when I did the liquify breasts tutorial. It’s 27 degrees, and I have a serious cold. *sighs and throws the cigarettes away*

Hmm, yes, indeed, Nexii. When I say I’m all ears - 2 pair to be exact - that does mean I’ll read up on chat thoroughly. So talking = chatting/IM and voicing = talking using voice? =)

Miss Laetitia: noted. *moves to Miss Tish C.’s blog to read*
