So I have looked around for external FaceGen software, and like everyone else, came across the FaceGen Modeller by Singular Inversions. I e-mailed them and asked if they could give me advice about how I could use their software to interact with OOTPB. One of their representatives responded by telling me I should ask that the next version of OOTPB has the ability to import FG files, as the next version of their free demo is going to allow saving in that format. From what I understand, the current demo version does not allow saving and exporting, and the real deal costs between $300 and $500, depending on who you buy it from. So the ability to use their FaceGen demo for this purpose would be awesome.

I would vote that high priority be given to either this or some other functionality that enables one to override the randomly-assigned face with some sort of editor. I would consider it reasonable for OOTPB to offer this as an optional adder that could be purchased. OOTPB graphics are the reason I bought this software instead of Diamond Mind.

I also second the motions suggesting the addition of road uniforms and allowing for female players.

Thanks,

Sorry to go o/t in here battists.

Diamond Jim, did they give any idea when this new version of the demo would be coming out? I've been trying to fathom out the format for fg files tonight because I've managed to import them into OOTP no problem. The only issue is getting hold of fg files. I've used one from the current demo of FaceGen (confused.fg) and stuck it in on this player Bert Bailey..



That would also imply that if the demo can save to FG that there'd be no issue working out how the file is formatted and thus either the game could have a full Facegen editor in it or somebody could write one outside of the game (probably wouldn't have graphical representation though)
