photoshop/facegen instructions

cpbeller · 10-01-2003, 04:59 PM

Is there a more detailed tutorial on using photoshop/facegen (or, facegen and MS Paint) to create fictional player faces???

I have been trying to figure out how to do it, but just simply cannot...i downloaded the facepack that has them, but would like to make my own too....

Thanks

oh, I have read the readme that came with the template, but it is tough for me to understand....

I am not sure how detailed the readme file in the pack is, but here is a quick overview of how I created some of the faces in that pack.

-Have both FaceGen and Photoshop open
-Adjust the FaceGen character to your liking and capture the screen (ctrl & print screen)
-Select NEW document in Photoshop
-Paste (ctrl + v) your clipboard into photoshop
-crop the area around the face
-use magic wand to get rid of the grey background
-add other backgrounds, hats, uniforms, etc as desired

I took actual digital photos of different hats and uniforms to use, but there are plenty of 'props' available throughout the web.

thanks....that actually did help me...and i have made my first pic....Jude Dunfee, he pitched the first No-Hitter in my league....

now, i can start to make my own pictures....

what else will work other than photoshop? I am using the trial version, and it looks like i will only be able to use it for 30 days....

Microsoft Photodraw is just as good IMO, it might be installed on your computer already.

You can download my templates on baseballsimcentral.com
