Although it some time has passed since Ichiro posted a new episode of Indie Superstar it is well worth watching it. In this episode he talks about the games: Moonpod’s Starscape, Hamumu’s Loonyland 2, PawleyScape’s FastCrawl, littlebig’s Bubble Ship Boy, and Top Meadow’s Minigolf Mania.
You should not miss this one if you are interested what other indie game developers finish!
Frank_G has discovered an interesting Tool with the name GenHead , wich allows the game developer to create human faces from photographs.
The process is easy as you can read on their homepage, you just load some pictures in the program, one frontal and one sideshot. After that you put some markers around significant points of the face, then the program creates the mesh.
The finished model can of course after some finetuning be saved in different polygoncounts ins one of the following formats:
- maya binary (.mb)
- fbx,
- dotXSI,
- vrml
- obj.
When its ready the whole thing looks like this one. A really good tool in my mind, provided that you have some extra 299$ in your budget.
