Very nice!
Very nice! Are they all hand crafted or are you using a template of face parts and combining them? Could it be extended to be generated from the individual face components?
The psd file contains all the individual parts. I set it up so most of them can match each other pretty well. The skin colors can be a problem though. If you have some basic photo editing skills you can probably make quite a few characters pretty quick. In the future, I will be adding more outfits, hairstyles, and skin colors. I found the current facial features to give quite a bit of variation. Some parts of the previewed pictures may not be contained in the psd as I built them as originals but then saved each piece for reuse. If you've seen grumbels work for naev I built off his work a little and you can tell for some of them, but only as a guide for characters already in the game. He doesn't have each individual piece as separate and reusable as mine.
-Thanks
I love love love LOVE this! Only constructive criticism that I can offer up, though, as it is driving me insane lol - Can future releases be seperated by skin tone? I'm having a lot of difficulty finding noses that match specifically the dark skin tones. Having to sort through them all is a huge pain - but hey, beggers can't be choosers I guess!
Great work all in all. Thanks for the addition!
Hi there, Naev contributor here (not a project member but someone who submits a ton of pull requests). I just wanted to comment and say that I found these by chance and thought they were so great that I integrated them into Naev. :) I also was able to use it to expand Naev's cast quite a bit. (Big thank you for the PSD; I'm no good at drawing and having a bunch of constituent parts to piece together is a massive help!) I think the full version of 0.8 will include it if I understand correctly, so you can probably look forward to seeing your work there. :)
Just to give you a taste of what you've made possible: I've already used the pieces to construct 86 new portraits that are now used in Naev at the time of this writing (and I'll be putting together some more after I finish writing this post).
It's funny how different things are since I made that comment a few years ago. Naev unfortunately is slowly getting rid of these and I'm not on the Naev team anymore, but I have my own fork, Naikari.
On that note, Nihilos, I don't see any contact information for you on your profile so I figured I'll try to contact you here. While Naev is slowly phasing these out, Naikari still uses them and will continue to use them, and I'd actually like to expand further on the options it provides enough that I'd be willing to pay money for it. If you see this, please let me know if that's something that would interest you; I can be contacted either here, by email, or maybe on Naikari's GitHub Discussions page, whatever works for you.
