So we know that character heads will be scanned in, however will we be able to manipulate these scanner versions to customize them to create our own character or will we only be able to select a specific set? For example facial features, body morphology etc.asked by TheDeadlyKenny
TL;DRPlayers are planned to build their own face by picking a base head from nine male or nine female types, combining scanned heads, and adjusting features, though famous actors' heads won't be selectable.
A couple of things. We have two levels of heads: One we scan a whole bunch of our actors that we have while we did the Squadron 42 shoot and also a bunch of Foundry 42 folks and Imaginarium folks. So I think we have over about 160 heads or so already scanned and are in various process of being brought to final quality and we have a plan to modulate and let you change and build your own player head that's not a preset one.
So our plan isn't really to say oh you can have one these eight male heads or one of these eight female heads. You pick sort of a base head, maybe combine a few of them and alter the various features on it. Your hairstyle, skin colour, eye colour so the general stuff sort of adapted around.
So I think you'll be able as a player build any kind of face that you want. I think a little later on there's another question that's relative to this that asked this question, but the way that we have it right now is we have 18 sort of I guess player heads? Which are evenly split between male and female.
Male and Female
And so those would form the base, nine type of heads for male and nine types of heads for female and then from there on you would customize it.
From there you could take pieces from the other ones that we scanned and you can create your own custom one based off of that.
But you can't have Mark Hamil's head or Gary Oldman's head.
No, definitely not.
Okay so that's the first question. Second question comes from…
