I'm currently working on getting my model ingame. Using Fecegen mesh import would work nice, but that's kind of out of the question after I looked up the price. I don't have an extra six hundred dollars lying around.

Anyway, I'll show progress tommorow, for now, I would like everybody to take a small portion of their day to email SI at sales@facegen.com telling them to make a private version of Facegen for us modders. Here is the email I sent them.

Quote:I make ten dollars an hour as a laborer at a salvage yard at the prime age of nineteen. I like to come home and modify my favorite game, the Elder Scrolls IV; Oblivion, adding new races, new world spaces, the works. I decided I would like to make a new race, but I needed Facegen software. I don't like to steal, I'm a religious man, but I go to your website and see that your software, FOR A VERY NON COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION, is going to cost me six hundred dollars to get what I want in-game! Now tell me you don't expect the average consumer to just bit torrent these files illegally? Can't you make a version for private use. I have no plans of making a video game that'll hit the shelfs, I just want to make my damn race! Now as a religious man, I'll have to forget it, because there is no way I can afford your ridiculous price!

GOOD DAY!

Like I said, I'll show my modeling progress tommorow, on the body of an argonian I hope. Although I'm still at a loss as to how to get the head ingame.

You sent them that e-mail? :pop:
Gee...... i guess it really pays off to be non religious

If they ever e-mail you back, please post it in this thread for my amusement.
And i really do hope you can find a way to get your head on some Argonian shoulders, maybe some one here can help you with that.
I think one of our team members (ra5946) has Facegen, you could ask him for help hrug:

Ahahahaha, I can't wait till you get a reply back. :lmao:

You do realize that if they do send one back, I doubt it'll be very friendly.
Oh well, can't blame you.

If I were you I'd talk to Ra later, and see if he can help. He is pretty good y'know? :yes:

It's their loss, they are the ones loosing potential money.

Edit: We'll I'll be darned.

Quote:Hi Jordan,

We'll have a consumer product for sale in early 2009.

Best wishes,

Early 2009? Well, it's better then nothing. Maybe if we all send e-mails, they'll speed up production?

EDIT: all remember to talk about your five starving kids, 2 of wich have leukemia,, your dead wife, how you were abused as a child and your job as a garbage man witch earns you 500 dollars a month.

I can't believe you got an e-mail from them TGW, you can't just wait untill 2009... what are you going to do now? ?(

We give him a copy? it would be rude if he turned it down

lol.

Yes but as most of you know, TGW is an honorable person, so I doubt torrents will work so well.

Personally that is my solution to it.

There once was a man that approached a women and said, "Would you sleep with me for a dollar?" The women replied in disgust, "Absolutely not!", at which the man responded, "Would you sleep with me for a million dollars?". The women pondered for a second, and replied excitedly, "Sure! do you have the money?" The man said, "No, but now that we've established you are a whore, let's establish your price."

What I'm saying is, what if we, "borrow the program" for time being. I'm sure the mod will still be heavily under development in early 09', so I just won't distribute the files until I am able to buy the product. Or maybe I'm just becoming a one dollar whore?

Edit: As I promised, pictures of the WIP. ;P Still needs a unique body of it's own. The one shown is the Argonian body, which is in major need of a retexture. Tlo and I have already discussed that we will go with smaller and more frequent teeth, as evident in KuKu's concept. All pictures will be shown in the Original post, as well as the updated post.

I like that story, it made me smile (I guess I am a bad person)

Smaller more frequent teeth is a good idea :yes:
