I saw this program about two years ago and the version available then either wasn't free or very user friendly so I promptly forgot about it, then about a week ago while trawling goggle for portraits this came up again.

Not only is it free (demo version) but it's so easy to use I think every mod team should give this a go..(tutorial on the DL page) ..

It's even possible to import a picture of yourself and then generate a 3d head which could be put in game, a element which I'm sure will appeal to someone..:shifty:

You'll need a bit of basic image editing to make the generated faces fit portraits and you need to remove the ''SI'' Logo from each one, but that's not so hard.. The only other drawback is hair is very limited with only three types available, but again a bit of editing can overcome that easily enough..Other than that the demo is fully functioning and doesn't have a time limit..

These are examples from my '300 mod' (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=139145). Which will include 70 new Greek generals (old and young) .. All of which I'll release once the mod is finished..

It would be very cool if others contributed a for different factions, pretty much all ethnic types can be generated..

You can also change the 'rouges', these were generated from a couple I found on the net..

Ethnic examples and expressions, all made from one generic head with a few quick tweaks..

Godsend! What a useful tool.. save the logo on the heads. I'll have to edit it out.
