Today we have a contribution from Blitz. He ran mug shots from the first four Wing Commander games through a program called FaceGen to create 3D models of the characters' heads.

I made the last 2 scans from photos taken from that trip they made to archive the Origin data, I think I picked the best photos, but if your using real photos its best to have 3 profiles....not just one which is what I had to work with. over all except for Mark H. WC4 pic which the facial hair did some thing weird in the generation and John R Davis face from WC4 tho ok looks a little squeezed. I think they cam out ok. Blitz
hippe well if you like that I also tried to fix the hair a bit. check out theses 2. If any one want's to buy the $299 full version I bet we could do even better. Or if you know of any free prgs that do some like this. Blitz
it was just a suggesting, to use for a mod. I mean if we have 300 members how hard would it be to donate $1...But I also said if any one can find a few software that does the same thing that would be great too.
