Avast, ye head-swappers!

High Sea Lass

Hopelessly lost
Storm Modder
I have been doing this for myself for a while, but I wanted to check with anyone who has a model on which they have used the Tool by Inez to swap the head...

Would you mind if I did the head-swap in Cinema 4D, in order to eliminate the gaps that someones appear in the model?<ul><li> Cat, I know Fanielle has this problem. What do you say, Cat?
</li><li>Alan, Beatrice (whom I also gave a more feminine shape) had this a too. What do you say, Alan?</li></ul>I know there are others too, but those are the ones I have been working on for now - so, anyone who made a model with head-swap, do I have your approval to "remake" them, changing nothing but the head?

I simply do not wish to step on anyone's toes... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />


Edit: added list of models [to be] fixed.<ul><li> <strike>Fanielle</strike> Done, sent to Pieter, stand-alone FTP coming soon</li><li> <strike>beatrice</strike> Done, sent to Pieter, stand-alone FTP coming soon</li><li> girlpatch <span style='color:red'>- the old problem with gap at the waist</span></li><li> <strike>ladyinred</strike> Done, sent to Pieter, stand-alone FTP coming soon</li><li> ...?</li></ul>Please help me make this list complete with models that the modder who made them wishes to see fixed. Thank you. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ty" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> Oh yes, please do! That would be wonderful!

It's great that you've worked out how to solve the "gap" problem. I will have to go through my "swapped" files and see if there's anything there I wished was a bit more "connected"... Maybe you could tackle those models too...

And THANK YOU! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ty" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />
 
Well, it is simply a matter of grabbing the head itself from the original model and put it where the swapped head goes. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Certainly, let me know if there are any models you wish to be seen corrected.

In fact, I will make a list in my first post to check of models with problems and when they are fixed. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

So, can someone help me make it a complete list, please? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />


And you are welcome - glad I can help! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Sure that'd be great Lass, thanks for offering. I especially had trouble getting the girl pirate with the eyepatch anywhere close to matching up right.

ladyinred is another head I swapped, and along with what you listed those are the only head-swapped models of mine in the modpack, though when I find where I put them all, I have several more around here waiting to be released, solo or in quests.
 
Thanks. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Looking forward to see what else you got lined up! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Lass: Hey, great! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Alan: there's also the blacksmiths IIRC. Or at least some of them.

For me, don't think any of mine were swaps.
 
No head swaps here. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />

Sorry, Capt'n Pet, I only swap head on models, not real, living people... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

Heehee, good one, Mr. Cotton! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
But that has not been done in the tool, or has it? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

I am mainly out to correct those with gaps in their necks/chins and that... But switching body parts otherwise works, to a certain extent. Trouble is they can get gaps and start to use a lot of different textures... But maybe now with Nathan's new invention we can fix that too. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
What's Nathan's invention? I haven't noticed anything in my quick skimming of the threads.

I think I switched two blacksmith heads... the Pirate guy and the Dutch guy.
 
Not my 'invention,' by any stretch. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Just a minitool to allow you to edit UV coordinates (and thus combine all textures onto one page) without screwing up the bone numbers Inez encodes into the UVs. Well, not without; it just reads the old coords and pastes the required bits on the new coords.
Somewhere in the New Characters thread we talk about it, and Inez has uploaded it and integrated it into the Tool (see the Tool's thread).

"If I can make but one person smile, that day has been worth living."

That's what I usually say. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />
 
Done all as per above, except <b>girlpatch</b> - not sure if I should do it, since that gaps appears at the waist. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Any solution to that odd occurrence yet, Inez?

Sorry, no - have used up all my vacation's modding time with bedlocators and trying to make an interface for buildsettings.h.
But I'll be back to my "regular work" (fiddling with models and animations) as soon as the latter is finished.
 
No worries, Inez. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Take your time, I got enough things to do as it is, heh...
