Here I am again with another (I think) unusual request for assistance. I'm trying to create an aviatrix for a history project. The aviatrix is based on a real person. Consequently, I used Faceshop 6 Pro to capture the actual face. That went pretty well. What I need to do now is outfit her. No real problem with upper and lower clothing, or even shoes. Thanks to past help here, I managed to use PSP for the pilot jacket and pants. My real problem is giving her a pre-WWI (barnstormer) aviator cap and goggles.

OK, now I purchased Shygirl's WWI stuff which I thought was the perfect set to rapidly get me going. Oddly, the uniforms don't show up in iClone, just the pieces of stuff like shoulder patches> But all headwear shows up. But since I solved the clothing issue on my own anyway that was OK except the flight cap. It looks GREAT from the front once fitted to the head and moves WONDERFULLY with the character. BUT BUT BUT, the flight cap doesn't cover the back of the head. No matter what I do it simply will not cover the back of the head. Well, it will if you push it back far enough but then the front of the head is exposed. So, I decided to make my own flight cap, in a manner of speaking. I obtained photos of front and rear views of an actual aviator cap and goggles, placed them in PSP. I had assumed I could use the iClone Launch feature to fit the cap texture over an accessory thus create my own flight cap. However, I've been unable to do that. Can someone advise me on how to use my photos to create the headgear I'm seeking?

Is this something like what you are looking for? If not, an image of what you are actually wanting to achieve may get you more help.

Perhaps the Helmet from Machines of War - Tank Commander would work?

Hi Jason,

I'm not quite sure which pack you refer too as I made several WW packs, all of which were some time ago......and the memory ain't what it used to be. :P

I have enclosed a pic of the Aviator helmet which I am assuming you refer to, please correct me if I am wrong.  I removed the hair from the character as you don't see it because the helmet covers the entire head anyway and the helmet fits fine.

Please let me know if it is a different character and I will do my best to help.

regards

Shy

I edited the Tank Commanders Helmet to allow it to have the Goggles drop over his eyes and return back up... But it does belong to Reallusion, so you would likely need their pack to use it as I'm sure the DRM carries forward.

This Image is animated, so if you want to see the animation, either your browser has to allow the animation, or you'll have to download and view it separately. It works in Firefox, but it's been so long since I used IE (Internet Excuse) that I couldn't tell you if that works or not.

Yes, it is the style I seek. Actually I have a front and back photo of this type. My real question is how to convert it into an accessory for iClone.

Machines of War, I will look into that. THANKS!

Shy, I believe this is the one I mean. That's the Japanese outfit isn't it. In any case your common sense comment about removing the hair may be exactly what I need to do (DUH), thanks for very likely saving my nitwit rear.

To convert something like that to an accessory, you'll 1st need a mesh it can be applied to...the rest is all about getting the texture to fit that mesh. There are only a few programs out there that can wrap a texture to a mesh, but it would also take flattening the mesh to allow the texture to be applied. It's always easier when you have a mesh that can be fitted or painted with an existing texture.

Good Luck...

Shy, your suggestion (no hair) worked perfectly. AND I located the uniforms. i had to hunt them but suspect it is due to my lack of mastery of iClone. They don't appear in the accessory list inside the program. But Windows 7 allows a swift search and drag and drop so I think I'm pretty happy. The only thing is the only leather jacket is the Japanese one so will use PSP to get rid of the red and white insignia.
