Here is the first of a series of ethnic heads I'm working on.
Specs:
Model is a little under 2000 tris with 512x512 textures.
All heads I include in this pack are rigged for facial animation (all be it rather simply) and can be used as talking NPCs.
All models are original, only the neck, eyes and inner mouth were carried through from obsidian's stock models and only to ensure visual continuity.
Info:
She is meant to be useable as an Arabic type character.
Males will follow in Vol 2 when this pack is complete ;)
[update] Added a head based on the Maasai people.
[update August 27] Resolved Head 1 texture clashing issue by renaming textures to mach head number, thanks Balgin Stondraeg for pointing out the issue.
Jewelry is now toggleable with facial hair button in character creation. Thanks E.C.Patterson for the suggestion and Balgin Stondraeg for suggesting the facial hair toggle, I didn't think it was possible with female heads, great to know it is :)
Fixed the odd pixel on head 2.
[update]
Added an Asian head. Still may have some bugs so feel free to let me know in the comments if you find anything wrong. I will address any issues as and when they are discovered.
This pack is now complete and I will be moving on to volume 2, the male versions ;)
All that remains here is any bug fixing and or conflict resolution.
[01/09/09] Cleaned up the seams on head 3 a little better. xNormal does not render my normal maps cleanly enough so I have stuck with max. xNormal is too limited in functionality to deal with semi mismatched highpolys.
These are stunning, great job Xaltar! _________________________ Loudwater / KOW / Khalidine

FORGOT to add 1: VtM: Bloodlines the best game I ever played. Anyone with a homepage dedicated to that game is top of the line to me. 2: Anyway these can be added to the Half-Elf selection of heads?

Bald women? Not really. But occassioanly if it's a monk or a mindflayer victim/slave npc then it seems apropriate. And I thought I'd mention it because the seam at the back of the neck is quite visible with some of the nicer short hairstyles. It was the neck more than the head really.

I found a tool for xNormal on the vault but thus far the results have been less than satisfactory. It clears the seams but does a horrible job on the normal map. I'll mess with the settings but no promises, I have little enough free time as it is. You seriously play bald females? I put the seams at the back of the head so the hair would cover them, thats the best I can do in Max I'm afraid. _________________________ NWN1 Head and body pack NWN2 Headpack. 7 times they came and 7 times they died who can say what the 8th will bring.
10 - A Masterpiece, Genuinely Groundbreaking 9 - Outstanding, a Must Have 8 - Excellent, Recommended to Anyone 7 - Very Good, Deserves a Look 6 - Good, Qualified Recommendation 5 - Fair, Solid yet Unremarkable 4 - Some Merit, Requires Improvements 3 - Poor Execution, Potential Unrealized 2 - Very Little Appeal 1 - Not Recommended to Anyone
