making a skin

[Marco]

Here, adding new skins is what I've always wanted to do.
I have all tools needed, but there's only one thing blocking me: the face.
What I wanna do is making skins of some friends of mine... not altering the whole skin, I just wanna change the head.
I have decent closeups of my friend to put into textures, but, u see, in original textures faces are in a "fat" version so when applied to models they fit fine.
Can anyone hint me some way to "fatten up" my friends pics without distorting eyes, mouth, etc.?
I use PhotoShop but didn't get decent results.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Do it like this:



Take little pieces of the face and fit them in 1 by 1. It takes some time but gives loads better results.

Your better off taking larger pictures and then scaling them down to fit.........

Here's some of my own work....

i have a question, what program do you use for making skins , coz I know that you can do it eben in paint, but which one is the best in your opinion

[Shade]

Photoshop is the best programm for it in my opinion, but very pricy.

The gimp has alot of functions photoshop has and it's free:

Gimp...very good too, but also very complicated (for me).

So you can make own skins?

Edit:
Sry I forget to ask If anyone can help we with making own skins? (if it can)


edit by Shade: No doubleposts in that short time!

[Shade]

What especially is your problem?

You can make own skins with the Skinmaker... just have a look in our Downloadlist.

But i think you already did it...

It'd be good if someone could make a mesh-maker, so you'd have easy animation of the mesh, design tips and texturing in one program... But that's not gonna happen, is it?
