This is the first HBR (Heads by Request) hakpak. I've had several requests for custom heads these past couple of weeks for module specific or PW specific hakpaks, so I figured I should compile them and upload them for general use by everyone who doesn't use those particular hakpaks. I made a couple of these heads quite some time back, and they are in my CEP Companion hakpak, so you may recognize them. The rest are recent. Enjoy :)
Stef,
Well, taking more requests wasn't my original intention, but it seems to be what is evolving. :)
It started out with some of the various PW and module teams asking for particular styles of heads, and so far I've had quite a few requests since then.
Having the frustrating experience of asking for custom items to be made when I didn't know how to do any modeling at all pretty much prevents me from declining any request within my abilities now.
Actually, thanks to some of Netherius' requests, I have been learning a lot of things about Gmax that I didn't know.
As for the tattoos, yes, they have to have their own model parts, like anything else, but it is a pretty simple matter of just renaming parts. Anything above 200 can be used for body parts, and along with the tattoo colors, the hair color can be used.
One interesting technique is to mix the tattoo and skin or tattoo and hair colors for such things as tattoos or horns.
This will give a better variety of colors, so we don't end up with a character that has blue eyes and tattoos, or red lips and tattoos."Me Go Beer!" - Mr. Dave _________________________ Me go beer!

"heads by request" does it mean we can ask you to create the kind of heads we want?
There are quite a number of really great tattoo haks out on the vault, and add to that any of the male nude pelvis parts and you have the perfect pict! :)
Short, naked, woed tattoos head to toe, what else can we ask for?
When I have a bit of time here, I'll be making both tribal and celtic tattoo parts. We really need them.
I am working on a D20 Modern style portrait of Juha, where he has sunglasses on, and I put a huge tribal tattoo down his neck and put a Walther P99 in his hand. The tattoo looks so cool that I decided we must have in game body parts with stuff like this."Me Go Beer!" - Mr. Dave _________________________ Me go beer!
ARGH! It does look like Kerry. You think I should delete it? After all, it's wrong to be left.
The reason I haven't done any dwarf heads, or others, lately is due to the fact that we already have quite a large amount of really well done ones on the vault. Although, I think I would like to have a dwarf head with crusted back hair and Celtic tattoos on the sides of his head to perfect my Pict character.
I'll probably make some dwarf, halfling, and half orc heads after Netherius is finished with the first chapter of Resident Medieval though. For the time being, he has made some requests which are forcing me to learn more about modeling. His coolguy ideas are pushing my abilities to the extreme, and that's a good thing. :)"Me Go Beer!" - Mr. Dave _________________________ Me go beer!

Have you thought of doing some dwarven heads? Some more of those are always needed.

The one to the right was my request: it is a Homunculus- an ancient, strange djinn soul trapped in the ancient red stone known as the Philospher's Stone. It's gender is unknown....==================

Head Hunter, that's because it is not a female head. It is a male head for both the elf and human thin phenotypes.
It has an androgynous look to it. Usually I try to make heads that are not ambiguous sexually, but it was a request so... :)
The funny thing is, it was a head derrived from the one just to the left of it. For some reason, when I changed it from pf### to pm### the hair changed to what you see in the model now. I still can't figure that one out."Me Go Beer!" - Mr. Dave _________________________ Me go beer!

The last female head on the right shows up on the male insead of female.
Woot, Homunculus on the very right. Very cool man.==================
