Adolf Hitler of Germany: 3D Animated, Era Specific Leaderhead (17-01-2005)

[Corn Shucker]

If you want a face refernece for a bit of help, ccm01 made a hitler lh awhile ago (about the only thing i like about it is the accurate face lol, movements are very unnoticable.... and its a bismark conversion... so no hitler uniform and his face doesnt change with era which i think is cool) heres the img. I dont know if it will be of any use, you might have already noted this. One thing i did notice though is that his eyes are a little bit farther back in his head, or his brow comes out a bit farther.... at least according to this pic.... i donno, just trying to help out. do what you want! lol

New ancient look for Hitler

Oh, and thanks for those pics, Corn Shucker, but I won't be making any more changes on his face for now, as I want to finish this new version as soon as possible (a day or two) to continue my other projects (Champlain of Canada and Hirohito of Japan first)

New "alternative" modern look preview

 

[Anarki]

Cool! I like the Modern Era, but can I just say, I really hate that frown. Can't you change it?

 

[Snorken]

Looks good! It feels a little weird to see him without his moustache, though... But it looks good...

 

[Plotinus]

Good stuff, but I must say that I definitely don't like the added wrinkles under his eyes. They don't look realistic to me and give the impression that he's been crying, or been punched, or something. This area of the face looked much better in the original version, I think.

 

[jorde]

Well, here you have a look at his new angry expression. Is it good enough or should I keep the old one? (or if you want it different, you should post a pic of a real angry Hitler to see what I should aim at)


About the wrinkles under his eyes: I could change them a bit and post another preview to see what they look like

http://news.indiainfo.com/2002/07/12/adolfhitler.jpg He doesn't look furious in this Photo, but he still looks like he'd kill you in your sleep, and that'll do. Mostly, just get rid of that frown, it looks completely unrealistic. Have you ever seen anyone frown like that ever?

@jorde: for modern, use some glasses like Helmut Khol style.

 

[CurtSibling]

Great mod!

I've never seen anyone frown like that, but I have neither seen a Firaxis leaderhead which doesn't frown like that. And the frown helps the animation look much better on the game, as you'll probably never see the very last frames of the animation anyway (and so an angry face might be unnoticed)

Anyway, I'll probably tone down the frown a lot next time, and try focusing on his eyes to give him an mad face. Remember, I'd rather have him look like in that pic for a cautious look and have him as a madman for his angry expression. I might even search for some speach of him to look the faces he made when he went crazy and try to imitate that look (and then you might see him frown a bit, I dunno)

@Rufus: thanks for the suggestion. I'll try my best with the limited resources I have to make him have some good looking glasses, but if I don't get them to look ok, then he won't probably use glasses at all

 

[Ares de Borg]

I'd rather see him without the glasses.

 

[Anarki]

Yeah, I think I'd prefer to see him without Glasses, because he didn't need them...

@ jorde: Firaxis Leaders mgiht frown like that, but Poser does a Crap job of imatating it (or whatever Program you're using). Keep it if you like, just a suggestion.

 

[Corn Shucker]

Are the previews in posts #63, #63, and #67 whats included in the new download in the first post, or did you change him a bit more than it shows up above? (like taking away some of the wrinkles under his eyes like you said) If it is different, would you mind posting a preview? thanks.

 

[Bjornlo]

I like the new frown better.
Reminds me of hitler in the old news reels while giving angry speeches.
ps: I like the yellow suit too.

I also finally figured out what makes your hitler look a tiny bit off...
His lower jaw is not heavy enough (not enough skin between his lower lip and chin) and his cheekbones are just slightly too pronounced.
but he looks good enough. He could pass for Hitlers more handsome cousin, which is alot closer then most LHs.

 

[Pounder]

Which download do I go for if I want the newer ancient Hilter and the modern Hitler with the yellow jacket.

Looks excellent BTW.

 

[jorde]

Both versions have the yellowish jacket, so you should download that one

 

[jorde]

There is a new preview in the first post, for those of you who wondered how this version looked

 

[Anarki]

The quality of the Clothes in the Medievil ages are completely unnaceptable.

 

[jorde]

Fine, find me a clothing prop which would look the way this one should and I'll gladly re-do that era with improved clothing.
Otherwise, just enjoy it the way it is (or not), cause that's the best I could do with a simple cut/paste job
