compmaniac Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Today, I decided to try to make a cyberface. I've never made a cyberface before, and I am quite a beginner at Photoshop. I don't know if you like it or not, but it was for Joe Mauer. Could you guys give me some constructive criticism? Thanks. My biggest problem is that the current Joe Mauer pressbox image and the game's original Joe Mauer cyberface's skin color differs. I kept using dodge and air brush, etc., and it made the cyberface blurry. What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Not too bad compmaniac. I have no experience in making cyberfaces, but I'd say that yours is a great first attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 yes, yes it does. did you just switch to 2x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compmaniac Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 I started over, and made sure that I didn't use dodge or air brush on the actual face. I'm thinking of doing Barry Zito without a beard next. His (Zito's) face in the game is a 1x one. Can you find a 2x face that looks like Zito? Thanks.

Homer Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 also, it's hard to tell from this angle, but you may wanna take a second look at the eyes. not sure if they look a little cross eyed or not, and also see if you're willing to play around with it to get rid of the glowing rings around the eyes too. it's tricky.

Homer Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 i was pretty sure he had a 2x face. again i can't tell until i get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compmaniac Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 If hes does, can you post it or send it to me? Wait, does it mean that somebody's already made a cyberface of Zito without a beard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 not sure, i'll let you know. but i was pretty sure he had a 2x face from that kraw posted in his 2x pack. not sure if it had a beard or not. if it does, it shouldn't be too much work to change it.

Homer Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 okay, this is the zito face i use. it's the original as far as i know. now this is just for you: http://www.mvpmods.com/Forums/viewtopic/p=396074.html#396074 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compmaniac Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Thanks, homer813, for the link. Do you think I should start over the Mauer face again? Also, what do the clone, stamp, eraser tools do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 if you'd like. it's a good one to practice with. again, it's only gonna come with practice. the clone and stamp tool do the same thing, at least from what i can see. play with it. what you do is hold down Alt first and then click somewhere on the texter, say the hair. this takes your "sample". next start painting else where and it reproduces your sample where ever you click. the eraser should be self explanatory. right? please nod your head.

compmaniac Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Homer, how did you see that the texture was lacking? Did you see it from the screenshot, or in the game after you installed it? I couldn't really tell any texture was missing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superciuc Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Good one.I think that the nose is too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compmaniac Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Good one.I think that the nose is too big. Do you mean by the length of it (tip to bottom), or the width? I think the width is fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 i can see it in both in game and from the screen shot. when i say texture is missing, i mean that it's smooth, and lacks a rough skin texture. i drew a pic below to make extreme examples. i guess i shouldn't have said the texture was missing. it's just really smooth instead of life like. what this looks like in game is blurry skin instead of life-like. to really illustrate it, try drawing things in and testing it. for instance, use the blur tool and blur half the lips, or one eyebrow. then test it in game, and you will see the difference.

compmaniac Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Can you tell me where on mine you see blurriness? Sorry for asking so many questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 again, it's minimal. but minor details like these will lead to better looking faces. later down the road, you can start to work with lighting too. but that's another story. remember, all in all, this was a really good first attempt.

Homer Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Can you teach me about lighting now? no, not yet. you're not there yet. trust me. besides, it's something i'm still playing around with and am in no way ready to start teaching something i'm not fully comfortable with myself. you know, this whole ordeal has gotten me to realize there are a lot of things to learn to do these faces. i wonder if maybe we should do a tutorial thread. i wouldn't be able to do it myself though. it would have to be an ongoing thread too of course. let me think about that one. the drawback is that if i decide to do that, it'll be a long time before i even get another cyberface out. i wonder what tebjr or davidc would think of that :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 your update looks really good. can't wait to try it in game. you're a quick learner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compmaniac Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Thanks homer813, although I think you'll be disappointed (the mouth). And I couldn't really tell the big difference, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
