In this thread I'm setting out the current method I'm using for creating custom in-game face designs in Rugby 08. This is a work in progress but should deliver some great results. All the tools used are free with the exception of the facebuilder add-on for blender which only has a 15 day free trial therefore I suggest focusing on completing just steps one to three for as many players as possible and then you can work processing them through the rest of the steps to get in game in your own time.Let me know if you have questions or anything is unclear.[MEDIA=vimeo]545252506[/MEDIA]Once you have completed a face design please share with the forum - https://www.therugbyforum.com/threads/trf-custom-face-design-tracker.47791/With thanks toThis method is essentially working directly from jim546 blender facebuilder method so thanks to him for working out how to get this working (https://www.therugbyforum.com/threads/using-blender-to-add-custom-player-faces-to-rugby-08.47743/).
