Thanks! Great stuff.

I took about 25 of these heads for Arnheim. They'll work well for dynamic faeries, goblins, and other weirdos. Thanks.

Just a (bit left field) thought but did anyone consider turning some of those (at least the larger ones) into head aligned vfx? Might come in handy for some story lines.

 

Also, are there any PC sized cat heads in there? Great for Egyptian story lines.

Um, why would you want them to be vfx and not standard heads? They would no longer be plt colorable...

 

Yes, there are a few different feline heads.

[Tarot Redhand]

For a quick change a la Scoobie Doo   when the villain is unmasked.

I'd think would be better as helmet heads?

[Tarot Redhand]

Quite possibly but could that be used for multi-level quick change i.e. remove one face to reveal another face which is also false which when removed... But as I said in my original post of this thread in a thread it was just a thought.

Practically speaking, head aligned vfx dont remove existing heads (Like the CEP JenX ponygirl head on a neck part, it would overlap on top of the existing head) and they would require a single static color model manully scaled for 12 sizes (1 mdl for all 6 races x 2 genders x each color), not very practical (unless you wanted to separate parts like the Drow Valsharess Headband, or Bugbear Earrings...)

 

(When i made head aligned VFX, it took me a full 8 hour day to make 3 sets of vfx, as I had to manually position mdls for male and female demihumans)

 

I'd suggest that you just make them CEP/Sinfar* Style Helmet Heads, Its less work, since helmets scale to al dynamic player races for a single item by 2da settings automatically for each race, and have better color options, (you can still PLT color them like helmets), and wear like a "mask" if you want to just take on and off as a helmet, for disguises, as opposed to having to script removing a head entirely, then putting on a single color head VFX...

 

(you just have to plt the inventory gfx, like the CEP Dragon/Rakshasa/Mummy/Zombie/Bear Helmet Heads Have  )

 

Or just make a system for your project that lets you change heads and body parts (dynamic wildshape) on the fly with scripts (no extra content needed)

 

Example = The Hat of Disguise (Disguise Kit/Silly Putty): Change Head on use by menu (allowing only script approved heads, and remove, to restore PC head)

 

(BTW 99% of them have been converted to Sinfar Helmet Heads aka Heads_v2, you have my permission to use all my converted heads, at least )

 

As far as i am concerned, anything I have posted on the Bioware forums and NeverwinterVault (IGN/Org) are public domain (unless otherwise noted, still respecting any source artists permissions content may be based on) so feel free to fold, spindle, mutilate, evolve, rip or de-construct as fit your needs.

 

(The only heads faces i made myself were the female vampiress skin (mdl was nwn ch 1yuan-ti) and the hooded lord of worms "wormfaced" version.)

 

(*I think the original 2002 Helmet Head "Masks" were actually pioneered by Kinarr Greycloak, if i recall...)

Thank you for helping me to understand a bit more about head models. Now I am about to be very cheeky here. Any chance of some heads done to what I call Gerry Anderson scale. In the early puppet shows the heads were actually not to the same scale as the rest of the puppets. A couple of example pictures -

 

 

 

As you can see, the heads are disproportionately large. As it's the 50th anniversary of the first broadcast of Thunderbirds this autumn I thought I might as well ask. As I said before, this is a bit cheeky and to be honest I am not really expecting a positive outcome but if you don't ask...

For "Bobble Heads" If you want to do that its easy, just change model SCALE, and tinker with position XYZ till they look right. 

 

 

(You can just edit a uncompressed ASCII model with a simple text editor like notepad, and decompress models with NwExplorer if needed)

Now that i see those umberhulk heads separated from the creature model why didnt they use that one as a base for their ugly ettercrap model. I mean... whatever!

Cause our friends at Bogleech can show us the artwork of the 3E Ettercap

Now, why it doesn't look much like that I don't know, but that was what they were trying for

Hmm... i dont like the concept of that silly looking ettercap either but what they tried to "create" is to me the ultimate insult to any d&d creature anyway. Well, i´m happy i did my own ones ehehehe I think that purple one is the best ettercap design ever done. Dont fix whats not broken Gawd damn

[Carcerian]

Baba's ettercaps are denifantly far better than the Stock ones (If only ppl like Baba/Merrick/Six/Worms worked for Bioware when they made nwn1)  

 

 

I still like 2e's ettercap most, just as a fey/goblinoid/magical creature that has a fondness for spiders, and not a generic arachnoid humanoid.

 

 

(You could see drow bossing these guys around, and using them at guards, as opposed to the more Grey-rendery 3e ones or 4e dark sunnish vers)

[NWN_baba yaga]

Funny thing about the ettercap is that i only used and reshaped the troglodyte model for the body and the head of the aranea. Then just used photoshop to get the skin done. That was the whole work... not that i´m not proud but gotta be honest it was the average take this and that and create another "frankenstein" ehehehe!

[Jedijax]

Makes it even more impressive! To think you made such a high-quality creature that way... You should totally continue frankensteining!

Close

[Draygoth28]

+1 on that.

[Carcerian]

Whatever your methods, the end result is very professional looking, they look impressively close to the original concept art
