Jean Claude Van Damme - My facegen files. Raters 3: Aged Van Damme Megapack for G1M, G2M, G3M and G8M. Asymmetric swimsuit for G8F. Jean-Claude Van Damme SuperPack for G2M,G3M and G8. Inflatable Landspeeder. Note: Be careful when using the harness and twisting the body. My rigging isn't the best in the world. I tried, but there is still a noticeable distortion there.

Here are abunch of .FG files to play with. Someof the models workbetter than others. FaceGen's default rendering output is simplesurface rendering, which means that skintones tend to look a littlelike they've been painted onto a surface (you tend to get asimilar 'look' when you hand-paint a diecast model). For 'pro' imagerendering, a graphics person might use FaceGen for previewing andinitial editing, export a model as an .obj object file, andimport it into a more advanced rendering program, which coulddo moresophisticated things like taking into account the effect of skintranslucency to produce a more photorealistic, less 'flat'image.

And of course, to add other things like hair, andclothing, and bodies, and scenery and props.

The grid of 160-pixel images below actually usesthe 400px .jpgfiles output by default by FaceGen, scaled down by yourweb-browser – click on any of them to see them in400×400.

You can download the original 3D .fg source filesforeach image by clicking on the names further down the page, and loadthem into FaceGen for further tinkering.

Some of these head shapes look slightly iffy, butwith real people, its not always obvious what their actual head shapeisunderneath all the hair. For a couple of the better images here, I madea tiny tweek to the cranium width, and that made a big difference.FaceGen concentrates on trying to get the facial region right, andextrapolates the rest of the head from the facial proportions, sosometimes a series of slight errors in the facial proportions can leadto a funny-looking head. Then again, most of us aren't surrounded bybald people, and probably don't have a good idea of the what thenatural range of headshape variations. I resisted the temptation toedit all the heads to make them look 'normal', partly because most ofthese are going to end up with hair, and partly because, for all Iknew, perhaps this is what these people's heads really looklikeunder all the hair? Who knows?

(16th Feb: Yes, VincentPrice's head really WAS that shape! See him playing 'Egghead'in the Batman TV series)

Once you'vedownloaded one of these heads in .fg format, making these sorts oftweeks is easy. Instead of trying to decipher which FaceGen slider touse, you can simply hold down the Ctrl key andclick and drag on justabout any feature on the face, to pull it around in real-time. WithCtrl-Click, your changes will affectboth sides of the facesymmetrically, so if you think that a head looks too narrow or toowide, you can Ctrl-Click next to the temple and drag the mouse a fewpixels to one side or another. Ctrl-Z is'undo', and 'redo' isCtrl-Y.

Have fun!

PS: thesame disclaimers apply as on the previous page: I don't know SI, theydon't know me, and if you use anyone's faces commerciallywithoutpermission from the people whose faces they actually are, their lawyerswill probably track you down and have you shot. Nuff said.
