No more FaceGen! : V

» Sat May 28, 2011 6:59 am

FaceGen is that ugly face generation tech used in Oblivion and Fallout 3. You can check it out here: http://www.facegen.com/

I really hope Bethesda developed a new face generation tech for Skyrim. The current system just doesn't look good.

I agree.

P.S. Great name by you.

it would be pretty cool if Beth let us use cameras and put our own faces in the game

FaceGen 3D Human Faces? This is what they were doing? You know, I think they were being a menace to south central (skyrim) while drinking their juice (skooma) in the hood @sigreference.

This, I remember there being a face generator somewhere in the modding community that you can just put a picture and it would model itself over it. I want to make an exact Ezio!

...That would be Facegen.

Then we would have many heros with genetalia as faces

I agree. He has an amazing name

Maybe it would have to go through a screening process, or something.

lmao.... when I think of this concept further I can see many ugly ass faces arising. But In many games with this feature, if the face pictured is too augmented, it simply wont be accepted. I tried to put my gf at the time in Fight Night and it didnt work. I always figured it was because her facial structure was too feminine.

Oh.... I feel stupid. Anywho, I think they should add that feature.

Yeah I'd prefer a new generation system, my problem with facegen is that everything looks so airbrushed on, everything from the lips to the eyebrows. There's not enough contrast, it all just kinda blurs together in facegen.

The faces in OB were hideous meat sacks I must admit. I hate to criticise BGS's work on Elder Scrolls because I love the series so much but it was so hard to create a character in OB that didn't look like someone had filled a burlap sack with meat and used it as some sort of macabre puppet. With A LOT of practice you could create something reasonable but well....
This is one of the things I hope for most will be fixed in Skyrim, I also have a lot of confidence in BGS that they'll do it too.

Agreed. No more ugly assed blue necked Chars!

Like some kind of fleshy mask...

I must be the only one who had no problem with facegen. I thought it was fine. Then again, I'm more about the RPG value not the graphics value when it comes to my RPG's.

I'm sure they'll use some sort of face gernerator again, and that will be fine by me.

If the game is singleplayer, I don't think anyone would care.

Until they posted a picture of said "Face" on the message boards.

No, being able to use your camera to insert your own face is the worst idea they could come up with.

How would a human face work as an Argonian or Khajiit?

» Sat May 28, 2011 6:22 am

Actually, I agree, no more facegen...period.

I've never gone for that whole customization stuff. If they give me 3 options for a face and hair, I'd be good to go.

I've had no problem with facegen either. Good enough for my needs.

As I see it, the main point of Facegen isn't for the player customization, but for the NPCs to have different faces. In Morrowind there were a lot of NPCs who had the same face.

Me neither, personally I thought it worked pretty well, a bit outdated, but still, worked well.

Ah, didn't know that. Thanks :thumbsup: Still, it seemed good enough for me :nod:

I found it a great addition to the series. Can it be improved upon? Sure.

Same here; I don't mind it as is, but they could add 50 presets for those in a hurry. :shrug:

» Fri May 27, 2011 10:30 pm

Facegen worked for me.

» Sat May 28, 2011 12:33 am

But not for the OP, so it needs to go.

If there are improvements to be made, Bethesda has probably made them. They want the game to look its best, too.

I liked pre-FaceGen character creation, too.
