I'm offering to put your avitars' faces into iClone format. If anyone is interested, I'll send them a picture of what Victoria 4.2 looks like done this way (there wasn't a Post Attachements feature on this forum, or I would have attached it).

I can also do likewise for photos of faces of real people (eg yourself, your boyfriend/girlfriend, etc.). I must add that in this case, the results tend to make people look 10 years younger and sometimes a bit different from the photo.

In exchange, I want you to build a historical aircraft or tank model for me. I'll provide the blueprints (or 3-view, as blueprints weren't always available). After you've sent me the aircraft model, you're welcome to put it up for "free for commercial and non-commercial renders" on your own webpage.

        They would make a great attention-getter to attract people to your site -      particularly if you want people to go there to look at your paid models. Only 3     of the aircraft/vehicles on the list are available anywhere on the internet - 2 of     those are expensive paid models, and the other is hard to access.

Technical details

The list of aircraft/vehicles for you to choose from. I'm not looking for extensive interior detail, rigging, etc.; and I don't need them textured. Quality has to be medium - ie not horribly blocky.

My side of the deal - what you need to provide me with

I will need a straight front-on and straight side-on shot of the avitar's face, with good clean lighting (no artistic shadows), and no accessories/hairstyles obscuring their face, and IN FOCUS. (Also eyes should be facing front, and mouth should be closed; expression should be neutral.) The pictures should be colour .jpg (Jpeg) or .bmp (bitmap), no larger than 2,000 x 2,000 pixels. (I can take larger pictures and most other pciture formats if you can't do otherwise. But please no files larger than 2 MB - my connection is S-L-O-W.)
    Note: Characters with eyes as large as Sixus Media's The Girl tend to have some dark     marks below their eyes, as the iClone mesh-creator isn't designed to handle it.
    Note: As far as I've been able to tell, the iClone .vns format is not translatable into any other.     (But if anyone knows of a way to translate it, I'd love to hear.)

I will now do these conversions for a flat $US12 fee instead of asking you to build a model for me.

The iClone format of your character would be a great addition to your portfolio at (for example) ShareCG gallery (like some people are good enough to have .max, .obj and .lwo format versions of their model to be accesable to more people).
