Amazing Character Skins
« on: November 22, 2024, 02:58:54 pm »
Okay so this was a character I found on Nigesworld, I redone the hair, teeth and eyes then I upscaled it
with Topaz AI. It looks pretty realistic, it needs a bit of work on the coloring of the eye whites and teeth. It's amazing what can be done with simple textures and photoshop? Feel free to mod it and share it.

I'm going to be doing lots of these in HD and I have lots of ideas for new characters, I plan on doing some Westworld ones Dolores and Mauve etc, some Star Trek stuff, Animal faces. I have so many ideas, the possibilities for this are endless  8)

Here is the tiger skin I found in the peopleputty demo, I upscaled it and sharpened it up, but it would look better if
you were tho photoshop a high quality photo of a tigers face onto it. Also you can use the cat morph with this.
To get good results I find that you should export your image from photoshop as 1024 and then use topaz ai to upscale it by 2x and play with the sharpening, also its best npt to use face recovery sometimes as this can smooth out texture whicjh is what makes the skin look more realistic.




I forgot to change his teetth, here they are.

Skinz,

Welcome to the forum!!  It's always nice to have new visitors and members in our midst.

Your work is very nicely done and should be appreciated by other members as well.

Many have been trying to get HAPTEK characters to look a bit more realistic or lifelike but this should change that in a big way.

Hopefully, some others will weigh in on your efforts. Keep up the good work and again, Welcome!

In the world of AI it's the thought that counts!

Thank you Art, I've been doing some experimenting and  to get the face looking more realistic  you have to find a photo with the right lighting and some texture on the cheeks and forehead skin with a bit of shine otherwise even a HD 4k image can look unrealistic, this particular one at the top with Carlotta was an old 512px image so it's possible to get it looking even more realistic if you paste in a hd image.

Thank you Cyber Jedi,  I'm planning on trying to get the skins looking as realistic as possible, I've already upscaled about 100 old ones though there is an increase in sharpness most of them dont look  realistic so I'm gonna start from scratch and do more like the top one. Also I want to retexture the clothes on all of all of Nige's old skins and retexture all the wigs and accessories. Ideally I'd like to be able to rebuild the htr files so I can release the heads already skinned as most users probably have difficulty loading skins. I don't have putty though and I've not had much success  so far building haptars with 7zip etc.

Here is a couple of grids to help you to make tour own skins, just open them with photoshop and paste your picture on top.

This is a slightly improved version of the Grace skin, load up 2 players side by side and drop this skin on one,
see if you can see a difference.
