Oops, did a screw up the animation? It was my first time animating a head, sorry. I can try and redo it if you want.

No, it was nothing you did. I just didn't make the mouth open nearly enough when I first made it. I've tweaked the mouth verts a bit, so now it should look better when it's wide open. I'll have a pic in a few minutes so you can see the differences for yourself.

I can, looks good. Send it to motoki@dhp.com, you know the drill. lol BTW I'm curious, did you start off modifying a Rhedd mesh and if so which one, or did you make them completely from scratch? I know the texture is definitely all new not just pasted over. That's one of the reasons why I think it looks so good; it's very unique.

It was made from scratch ;D Unfortunately, it's pretty much the only made from scratch head I've ever made that has looked good

Hello everybody! I've been checking the topics and the screenshots... Imperials do look pretty fat on those robes, don't they? Hey oldie, you can do away with the eyebrow piercing if you want, ok? oh, and the Hiryo name... I like it . Actually, the relationship between Hélio (my name) and Solar is the greek Helios, which means "that which comes from the sun" - I think you knew that one already. But if you say the japanese character in "Hi" can mean "sun", all the better, as it keeps both the sound (for English ears) and the meaning. btw, in Portuguese (my home language) the name is pronouced with an open "eh", as in "eh-liow", not as in the English "he-liow". but that's just for reference, I liked the "Hiryo" one.

Thanks Solar. I wasn't sure if you pronounced the H in Portugese or not, but anyhow I think it works. Glad to have you on board.

Thanks It's closer to the shape of my head, too. Well, not the top when viewed from the front, but that will be covered by hair anyway The only thing I'm worried about is that I might have to redo the glasses I made to fit this new head, if indeed I messed around with more than I should have.

;D mantodea.tygirwulf.com/images/meboxingme.jpg I decided to fight myself while some Guilty Gear music was playing, and I lost I couldn't be more pleased with your help, Motoki! Not only does the new head look better than the old one, but it's animated better and you fixed my shoddy positioning, too I'm going to mess with my texture a bit so it doesn't look like I'm puckering up all the time, but other than one thing, which is easily fixed, I have no complaints. Yay! Can you tell I like this head a lot better than the old one?

I agree with Solar, i always thought you looked slightly startled on the old head. The new ones much better

Well, I'm glad this forum is leading to such a lively disscussion and making a positive contribution to "head betterment"!
Since there are a lot of you working on improvements, rather than keeping up with each change (and which results in those "mix-ups" - lol) I'll hold on a while. Get the rework to Motoki and, when there is a "new batch" ready, he can get it to me.
But I agree with Solar - the sooner we get the characters out of their robes and into "proper" clothes - the better! ;D

(I haven't logged in 'cause I have to dash - be back later).
This is really for Cali - got your clothes, but I'll wait for you to get the finished "tux" to me. Then I'll produce a pic of you (also with the correct hair) being "escorted" by Daduke the Butler (in full outfit).
BTW, have also received Faudau (who wants to go by the name Thaedyn Vyr) material, and a Mantodea update (which I'll do with Cali & the Butler). I also understand there is to be a Korana update.
