hword Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) My CAW for Katsuyori Shibata from New Japan Pro Wrestling. Available on the creation suite under 'Katsuyori Shibata' uploaded by theHword. Likeness isn't amazing but reasonably close, first go at making a CAW on 2k15. New to the community here too so let me know if there are any tips on posting topics here (ie. smaller images).

hword Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) I tried uploading and using a photo as a face texture but I couldn't find any suitable images. I tried a large version of the picture I included there but he has shadows over his face which made a really dark tone over half the face. All the others I could find were taken from an angle or were too small to be suitable. Maybe I should try taking a screenshot during a match or something. Any tips? Edited May 17, 2015 by hword Quote
DrJoeyMagnum Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 my only advice would be to somehow find a decent picture of shibata Quote

hword Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Holy shit that's perfect! Thanks Penguin! Have to head out for a few hours but I'm definitely going to try that when I get home. Do you happen to have a link to wherever you found that? I'm keen on making a few NJPW guys and if there's a face texture database around it'll help me immensely. Having a lot of trouble getting the faces to look different from the templates I set them to. The morphing tool doesn't really seem to alter the appearance much... maybe I just need more practice?

hword Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Body hair worked really well but the face is still giving me trouble (although he no longer has nipples the hair makes him seem a little more 'real'). When I remove the eyes from the overlay I end up with weird circles around the eyes and when I leave the eyes there it looks too much like you're looking at him with blurred eyes. Clearly I haven't got them lined up quite right - lips, nose and hair are all too low. Original face Face with overlay Full body shot w/ body hair. Edited May 18, 2015 by hword Quote
Topdog Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Change the face template to 7 and even out the jaw, and make the cheeks skinny. Quote
hword Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) TOPDOG23! Thank you so much! That worked perfectly. He looks so much better now. You've helped me see the error of my ways too. I picked the most Asian looking template was too busy trying to get it to look the way I wanted rather than picking the template that resembled him most in the first place. You've taught me a valuable lesson in CAWing I also used the chest hair texture on his legs to match the image I posted before. It makes him look far less plastic. Thanks again to everyone for the help with this one! Here are some screenshots of the final product (posted these and then realised I didn't actually put eyebrows on him...): Edited May 18, 2015 by hword Quote
Topdog Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Great job buddy and you're welcome Edited May 19, 2015 by topdog23 Quote
