Someone had sent me these, and doesn't remember where they came from. There's another female with the same face and longer hair. They both have that strange line running right down the middle of the face. Does anyone want to fix it? :innocent:

I have been curious what that line is. It also appears on the CODI NPC head with Red Nose when in Large Phenotype

I'm going to suggest it's a result of badly welded vertices, but I could be wrong. Could also be an issue with the texture itself.

I can try fixing them for you if you wish.

It looks more like a texture problem than a gap in the mesh. The line
doesn't have the colour of the background. It is black like the hair, so
I guess there are a few tverts that have to be moved a little bit.

Actually, there are plenty of heads showing the same issue.

Thanks Calvin... should we do a general vault release with the other heads fixed too, or just these?

[Calvinthesneak]

Email them to me, or host them somewhere to download, I can take a look, I'm not promising anything, because I'm not entirely sure the issue yet.

Any issue like this that I've seen has been the result of a texture or teture-mapping issue. It usually happens when the part of the texture that's mapped to the middle of the face is on the extreme end of one side of the texture, the hair part is on the extreme end of the opposite side, and the mapping doesn't actually overlap but it's very close to doing so. While there's no error here technically - the head will seem fine in Max and even in NWN if you're zoomed in close - when you zoom out in NWN the line will appear. I think this is due to the way the game blends pixels when you zoom out - because the texture is treated like a tile, the (say) leftmost part of the texture is regarded as right beside the rightmost part, and so the skin from the middle of the face will blend with the hair (which is usually darker than the skin).

The way to fix this is to make a bit of a "buffer" at the edges of the texture and move the edge t-verts in a bit.  If I was on my own computer, I'd post an example picture.  If my explanation here isn't clear, I'll post a pic when I get back to my computer.
