This is my face template in Arena, based on the face Robot marker set

What a weekend!
Wife and kids back from France

Trip to PC world.

New NAS drives for the project

New Keyboard for the face volumE

Recalibrated it, did all of Monroes cap again, with a view to doing post work in FaceRobot

Took some outdoor ref of Lewis on Liams awesome Bike that he made from Vacum parts…

I was not at all happy with the pipeline for getting the face cap into Maya, so did a spot of googling…

This looks like it ticks a few boxes

This looks like the way forward.

It means getting SoftImage…, but was meaning to anyway…

This post is just a note to myself so that I dont forget something….

In the name of research, my air rifle was put to use today….

Needless to say, it was a spare 40th head.

HOWEVER, the battle damaged Atomic Man body (it was already in a bad way when I found it!) really is the worse for wear. But, rest assured… its all for a good cause….. I am trying to look dev a character and I want the head in particular to look like it has spent a fair while being used as Air Rifle Fodder before making his break for freedom.

I get quite a few e mails about the scanning process. I guess they end up at this site due to a google or Yahoo search result.

Anyway, here is a little video showing a ypical scan!

Scanning Tom Stone from Craig Crane on Vimeo.

Well, I was watching an auction for a Tom Stone body, and all of a sudden the prices went sky high, so I stood back and watched. I didnt win.
Good job too, it wasnt worth what it went for.

I was bidding because I wanted to get a tatty Tom Stone so that I didn’t have to break my one for scanning. But because lost that auction, I decided to use mine anyway. Needless to say, I didnt break him. I wanted to see what could be done in a none destructive manner.

This is more than adequate for my needs…. I am really pleased with the relationship between the Next Engine and Geomagic. Its as if they were made for each other

This is the leather jacket in a more relaxed pose..

This is the start of a new uniform that will form the basis of all the Vintage Elite attire.

And this is me totally loving GeoMagic

So, decided to do a CG kitbash for Tom Stone. Starting of with the old Tank Commanders Jacket from the original range.

Obviously this is a scan, and it needs a lot of work doing to it. Scanned it with the scanner, but did all the post in GeoMagic for a change.
