Share Conversations, Experiences, Graphics / Problem with PP hair

« on: November 21, 2009, 12:22:11 am »

Yes, i was going to try un-installing the haptek player, but it's not listed under Control Panel\Add or Remove Programs. So i don't know how to un-install or what to delete, or what to download and install. I have two hap player applications at these paths ...

C:\Program Files\Haptek\PeoplePutty\happlayer41139.exe

C:\Program Files\Haptek\player\HapAXPlayer.exe

I am confused as to what i should do, afraid i'll really mess things up. I need some expert help. [

Share Conversations, Experiences, Graphics / Problem with PP hair

« on: November 20, 2009, 08:00:35 pm »

I've been away from this forum for a while (been exploring some 3D software such as Poser and iclone). But today i decided to make a new head in People Putty. And PP seems to have a problem with hair. It looks fine in the PP preview window, but when i save the haptar head, the hair is very blocky. This is better explained with screenshots. The first is the PP preview, and then the screenshot of the haptek head.

Clearly something is not right. Any idea what might be wrong?

EDIT: I think maybe the problem is with the haptek player, not People Putty. All my older .htr heads have blocky hair. [

I wondered what would result if i crossed and cat morph with a mouse morph in People Putty. I think it looks more like a, uh, ... Beaver. [:I]

Share Conversations, Experiences, Graphics / Need help with an idea

I did some more testing, and was somewhat able to duplicate the "alf" effect by converting an image to black and white, then to a negative image. Here is my first experiment ...

I have also learned how to add more "hoods" to People Putty in the form of skin texture images. The possibilities are only limited by my imagination. [

Share Conversations, Experiences, Graphics / Need help with an idea

« on: November 03, 2009, 03:02:59 pm »

I have a creative idea to add some effects to People Putty. Under the "Misc, jewelry, decorations, wounds" option, i think i can add effects here. The images and settings can be found in this folder ...

C:\Program Files\Haptek\PeoplePutty\environment\interfaces\DRAFT\ exaccessories\Layer\Jewelry

For example, to age a face, there are these images, old_rgb.jpg and old_alf.jpg ...

And in the jewelry.txt file are these settings ...

Layer=
Name=      old
File=      old_rgb.jpg
File=      old_alf.jpg
Icon=      oldicon.jpg
MaxDeltaAlpha= 0
MinDeltaAlpha= -255
TargetRes=   512, 512
Offset=      0, 109
BaseMatchColorFlag=    0

It should be easy to add some custom images, and add settings for them, except i don't know how to create the "alf" image. Anyone have any tips on how to do this, or which software will create such an image from the "rgb" image?

Thanks
Davy
