Faces

I have been looking at the work the guys at shadowness have and it is pretty nice. I have tried contacting them about how they did their faces, but they have not replied. Does anyone know how thus effect could be achieved.

what effect we talking about here?
please post some screenshots, refrence some sites/direct urls :idea:

There are many ways to do it
but here are the basic steps:
1st take some real pictures of a face, a foto or a drawing (drawing is best) tip: http://www.fineart.sk/
2nd add 2 boxes to your file and add the face-textures to it.
3rd go and copy every detail on the face with splines.

should be looking something like this:

some other way to do it and a great tutorial @:

Thanks dabluedude,

I ment like this Bio

Oh, i guess its a photo with Photoshop effects added to enhance the photo. Use the Polygon/Lasso tools with a bit of layer blending. Then a few renders from 3D Max will help, but something like this takes a huge amount of practice and experience to get it looking nice and making the colours work together. Its no accident shadowness people are soo popular ;)

lol, yeah they are good that is why I added one of there pics to my site. Of course they are getting credit for the pic

could you post your result? :)

sure, here it is

looks good 8),
the code however still needs a lot of work ;)

i know, i am just starting on it at the moment

Yes, that exact image was done using photoshop effects. Now if you were to go to shadowness.com and look at the woman at the top of the news page (the blue one) she was made with a 3D program. I'm not sure exactly how but I too would like to know lol.

BTW: Contacting Meng (the webmaster of shadowness) is not an easy task. I used to talk to him all the time on IRC and while playing StarCraft but lately he has been very busy. He is currently working on version 4 of Shadowness which will be entitled "Lost Technology". I think he is also working with Chris Dang of Halo'vision on the next version of the Halo'vision site.

OFF TOPIC: If its one thing i've learnt is that the best sites are often team based. It takes a dedicated team of individuals to create, run and maintaine efficient successful sites. I hope them all the success!

I think Poser might have been used on some of the 3D faces they have ;)
