Ok so what I'm looking to do here is simply change all the allies faces in game to a 3D render of my face from Facegen.

Can this be done? Is someone out there willing to do this for me?

I would do this myself however I have no modeling/skinning skills what-so-ever so if anyone is willing to help please post and I can upload the facegen 3D render to you via email or host it for you...


Thanks

your eyes seem a bit.......lazy. but anyways, my suggestions would be to do a google search of gcf scape, use that to open up the dods.gcf cache, extract the texture for the allied face and take pieces of your face and make em match up with the positions and pieces of the face on the vmt file. oh yeah, and youll need a .vtf viewer.

yeah I'm seriously thinking about re doing the render...it's gonna take me a long time to figure out how to do that...

After reading this I decided to have a go myself:

Not the best picture I had of me but this is a test. You do have to work to get it right, as the original texture is unwrapped, meaning you have to manipulate your own face to fit it, but it's turned out ok for a first attempt. It's a bit odd to see lots of clones of me running around and getting shot though :)

Actually, It is very possible, but you will find out also very time comsuming. As previously stated both Rascal and myself put our faces into the Late War / Early War Skin Packs. I am the allied sniper and rascal (who is German in real life) was the axis rifleman.

That looks like you remodelled the head as well. Is that right? (EDIT: Ahh forget it - I've seen your site now..... all is clear) And what 70's show? :)

What about the fact that the head model is not changable and so if you don't have a head that looks like the default player model then there is a big chance you don't look like it when you see it ingame.
