hehe,  thanks Mark,  actually it IS a bruce lee model I made from a bruce lee headshot i found on the net.

I wonder if the wraps I make in iclone work in haptek ?

ricky,
Haptec is an adaptive prog from what I've seen, I don't see why not, get the template and cut it right, it is a simple wrap, just need to give it eyes, no worry about teeth and other things.  JMO.

Regards.

I just ran the template through people putty, tryed a simple resize first with poor results. Ran it through a second time as is. here are the results.

 I fliped the .jpg for the teeth to show. You can flip it again and only flip teeth and tounge to get a better representation or just flip the whole thing to see your image although it won't have teeth but you will see the results. I did no editing except to add hoods. It would easily work as an haptar or a head skin with a few fine tunes on eyes, nose, and mouth. As for making it look more like Bruce Lee, even with morph tools and proper resizing before putting it into people putty, I can't give you an answer without taking a lot of time with it. Understand this is just a preliminary skin and not a refined end product. Considering that it does indeed bear a resemblance to Bruce Lee, I think there is a fair chance of success.

This time difference is a bugger.
I come in second best.
Anyhow here is my 3o minute try.
As Ted said no real changes, only re-size & added hoods & hair.

Bested by time only. Certainly not by quality. Your experience and superior artistry are showing through my friend.[8D]

Thanks Ted, But yours is as good.
Just got your skin pic & re-sized it to 1024x1024 then added teeth & eyes.
Ran it through putty & here is your result.

Teds Bruce Lee.

actually,  that one was not bruce lee,   the 2nd one I posted was this, I had to paint his hair on because none of the wigs matched.

Ok !!!
I had to have another go.

I still don't think either look like that other guy

actually,  i can see how they are pretty close,  but haptek seems to use the same full cheekbone/ skeletal mesh for its characters cutting back on the nuances / details.  I can see bruce in your picture,  but i can also see how his cheeks and chin are now rounded and eyes are bigger.  What you did of crossgrading it was great,  but it seems that unless you make the pic in haptek,  the details are quantified to the haptek mesh.

I know what you mean.
Unless you spend a few thousand & get the model maker from them we are stuck with what we got.
It's to be hoped that If or when Robert gets Ogre going we can have better models.

Well I resized this one to 1024 x 1024 without maintaining aspect ratio. No hood or adjustments were needed this is exactly how he came out. I brightened his eyes slightly.

 EDIT: Tryed this with Obama-no such luck. It came out terrible.

you guys really did a great job!! Haptek is making bruce lee look younger,  and it's actually starting to look like brandon lee, anyone else notice that ?! :D

Post by: tedathome on April 01, 2009, 07:29:54 pm

Thanks Ricky. Morphing of chin and cheekbones is possible in people putty. With a picture that you made your diffuse from to look at while modeling it, it could be improved.
 I'm wondering if someone could re-do the math on your diffuses or figure out what is the difference between Bruce and Obama as one works well and the other doesn't.

The best way to do Obama is to get a pic & do it in putty.

Great job on both Nige. I agree with you. I was hoping for another source to model from, as most pic's from the web are smiling, showing teeth, and off center.

OOPS !!!! My mistake, should have been only one post.
The forum was sOOOOOO slow that i stopped it & re sent.
Didn't know it had already posted.
But thanks anyhow Ted.

A little hint Ted,
If you have one that is showing teeth have a look at other pics you have of people that are just smiling, cut out the mouth & paste it on the teethy one & see if the mouth suits.

Nice one Dusky!
Thanks for the tip Nige. I had been thinking that might work but hadn't got around to it yet.
