Any way to use your facemap in the single player game? That would be too cool, as there are many times when you can see "yourself".

Did you apply the face paint to your actual face or did you do that in the game after taking a clean pic of your face? I've heard a lot of complaints about getting this to work. But your results look good. I am hoping to get one of these cameras and the game for Christmas. So, I hope to be there with ya soon. :)

Could you do it in the game? I noticed that there were options to allow face paint on the in-game characters. Can you apply these to the image of an imported face as well?

not that i recall. all the body types are the same, you just pick nationality/face from what i remember. no build or height adjustments.

i'm more into it for the various guns that you can take into the field myself.

So far I think Rainbow Six Vegas is the only game that supports this, but you know there have to be more on the way.

This is seriously awesome. There's got to be more AVS'ers that have done this. Come on guys, lets see the pics!

Actually the first game to support this was World Series of Poker:Tournament of Champions. Which I own and have my face mapped into. I love online poker though. The problem with that is skin color never matches the rest of your player animation and the head looks like it doesnt connect to the body right, like a bobble head. But with RB6 you neck is covered it seems.

Anthony Cler
12-04-06, 06:35 PM
Hey psuedohippy,

Can you take a screenshot of you in the poker game? This is a feature developers should use more often.

Surething, check back here after say 7pm tonight and Ill have a pic posted. I hope thats ok since this thread is for RB6 characters. But I just might get RB6 on my way home tonight and post both.

Could someone in theory abuse the webcam feature and put a picture online of something besides their face? Or has Microsoft invented some type of genitalia screening feature?

So you are basically asking if you have to worry about playing against a Richard Cranium. :D

And actually I hadn't even thought about it until reading your post.

Anthony Cler

Honestly hadn't thought of it. Of course now that you've said it out loud, you know someone's going to try something weird.

Anthony Cler
12-04-06, 08:25 PM
I think this feature has so much potential (that is when used as intended), I just can't wait to see where it's implemented next!

I'm still curious to see how the different games approach it (Rainbow 6 VS. Poker).

Monstermile

It has been bugging me what seeing those pics reminded me of and I just remembered.

Anyone remember the South Park movie?? The Saddam character.

That is not a bust on you Chodite. Just the way a human face looks on a non-human body.

Chodite
12-04-06, 09:03 PM
Concerning the cack 'n balls thought, I read somewhere that if the game doesn't recognize a mouth, eyes and nose - it won't take. I tried with sunglasses like 10 times and no dice.

That's cool. Does it take different angles like Rainbow Six? It doesn't appear as 3D as on the OP's pics.

12-04-06, 10:55 PM
yeah it takes 3d pics. I just combined my crappy old HDTV and my Crappy Camera and that is what you get. But yes it does looks very normal other then the bobble head effect and the skin tone problems.

Wow they need to fix the neck part and the extreme whiteness.. But overall the pic looks pretty cool.. Do you have an actual pic to compare it to? If not is it pretty spot on?

Chodite
12-05-06, 01:17 AM
I have a few pics, but none of me with that hat on for a fair comparison.
The first 2 pics are spot on. Those are the pics my wife saw and was blown away.

The action pics make me look much more white than I am. It might just be the indoor lighting though. I'll snap a shot of some outdoor action to see if the lighting changes.

Anthony Cler
12-05-06, 11:14 AM
Hey, you guys that have already purchased the camera, did you buy just the camera of the one with 12 months of Live? If you got the one with 12 months of Live, how does it work with your current subscription? Does it just tack 12 additional months on? So like if you had 6 months left on your original subscription, now you'd have 18?

HeadRusch
12-05-06, 11:23 AM
At this point in time I'd like to initiate an AVS- gamers rule of "NO SACKS"!

psuedohippy
12-05-06, 02:13 PM
The extreme whiteness is due to lighting. It is tough, the last guy I made was really redfaced. The other guy had a bad shadow on one side of the face. In other words you need good even lighting, natural lighting seems to be by far the best for that.

Also the poker game wont work with anything but your face. I even tells you to pull back your hair and wear nothing on your face. Eye tape may work but I know sunglasses, hats, hoodies or anything else I tried doesnt work. It is very picky about this stuff.

...If you got the one with 12 months of Live, how does it work with your current subscription? Does it just tack 12 additional months on? So like if you had 6 months left on your original subscription, now you'd have 18?Yes, it tacks the year to the end of your current subscription. My subscription was scheduled to end in February 2007, but after entering the code from the year subscription card in the camera pack, my Live expiration date is now February 2008.

Anyone else have a pic of theirs yet?

lmychajluk
12-06-06, 04:15 PM
To answer the previous question, I heard that it somehow locks onto key facial features like your nose and ears, so taking a picture of your a$$ won't work (though I haven't tried myself....)

To answer a couple of other questions that didn't get answered yet:
1) Yes, you can apply the camo face paint and the scars to the custom face. (Though, oddly enough, some of the hats don't work....)
2) Activision's World Series of Poker also allows face-mapping.

<Edit - Doh! Replied before noticing there was a page 2 of this thread. Sorry for any redundancy.>

First try at sunglasses. Not to bad. Looks better than the photo shows. There was a ton of light shining on the screen so it didn't take very well.

Back when the camera was announced the first thing I pictured was a mech warrior game with someone's twig and berries tattooed on the side. I don't think that's far off, but if people start putting celebrity images into games there are going to be legal problems for someone. I wouldn't be surprised if this turns into another instance of developers putting something genuinely fun into a product, users abusing it, and it never appearing again.

I finally got around to getting the game and scanning my image in...it took 4 or 5 tries because it didn't like the side picture. Finally figured out that I had to keep my body facing the camera and just turn my head.

I'll try to get a snapshot of it tonight, but I have to say it's UNCANNY how close it got my face. My fiance freaked out a little when she saw me playing :-)

The only thing it got wrong way my hair...it gave me a comb-over. I have a full head of hair lol.

They take a printed picture of the celebs face and hold it up to the camera. The side isn't as important, they often use their own faces. Results vary :-)

The face mapping feature always looked way overblown. Even if you adjust the contrast on the camera before you take the picture, it still brightens it up terribly. They need to have contrast sliders AFTER you take the picture.

Using natural light yields the best results. Just open all your window and turn off all lights. This looks the best in game.
