Very cool, I’ll have to try this when I get home tonight.
Hey, I like the head design very much, sparty
KineMapper 3.0 is a pretty good Maya .mel solution for this kind of technique

Thanks Chris, I’ll have to check that out aswell. I think im learning more from this post then anyone =)
I decided to add two new heads to the transformation. A female, and another stylized head. The female is almost done and I’ll post some pics soon
great guys! thanx a lot for those types and links!
will ahve a try…
sparty, concerning the bump value, i was linking the texture to the right thing but once i changed the bump depth using its slider, nothing happened in the slider so i assumed i was doing something wrong…so the result can only be seen on renders if i understand?
will also try this script once i found it
hehe…thanx …didn’t look a the "back to index " link…me very silly
thanx

Yeah, you just have to do some test renders at different values. I almost always use a depth of 0.150 for my bump maps made in Zbrush.
So here are a couple WIP shots of the last two heads im doing for this project. I’ll be posting a neato animation of all 5 heads blending in and out within a day or two hopefully.

I added a skin shader and changed the lighting a bit for some new renders. Still finishing the last two heads (Female and Fella with the mustache). Once those are done I’ll make an animation.
Anyway, here they are so far.

Wow, I thought contortionism was rough on the joints and skin! Great work sparty!
I’m pretty much done playing around with this project. I figured, before I’de let it die, i’de post a few more renders.
Enjoy, and thanks for all the feedback. I learned a lot =)

Excellent stuff, sparty; beautifully done

So, I fell in love with the big nose character and just had to texture him =)
I used Zbrush/Zapplink and photshop. I love Zbrush! =)

A couple updates. Changed the pupil size. Fixed the eyebrows, and added eye lashes. Also made a few other cosmetic changes. Enjoy =)
