I am not sure if something like this is in place but hear me out. I'd like to propose we develop some sort of 'Likeness' system. Since mastering I have become very aware of just how flexible the ID process is in terms of the infinite number of design variables.

I'd like all of us to be able draw on a system (a knowledge pool if you like) of real life/fictional characters to be able to offer to our clients.


Eg - Person X walks in to the ID tent and asks to look like Han Solo. We can refer to a stickied post that will give us approximate values that someone has taken the time to develop. I'd propose a value system for each attribute (example Eyes = approx 34/100 on the sliding scale with 1 being to the far left of the scale and 100 to the far right). The list could go on providing values for every attribute (ie Eye angle/hair style number/eye color pallette number). They would approximate enough for us to tweak as we see fit.


As a Twilek I have developed one for Oola (jabba dancer) which I will add later.


Let me know what you all think!

The 'looking like Han Solo' request is fairly common, but not actually possible to do, because Han is essentially a Han Solo face pasted on top of a character skeleton. One of my favorites, Lord Hethrir in the Emperor's Retreat, is also a mask (I want his hair!). Being an Imperial, I actually haven't seen Luke or Leia, but based on Han I wouldn't be surprised if they too were specially designed characters and there was no way to actually look like them.


For characters like Oola, though, that's quite cool. And you should show screenies.

Luke and Leia are unique in style, too... but atleast you can replikate their hairstyles



May the Force be with you all!

Oola is also unique. her lekku are very long and thin and the face is also a mask. still its cool to try and see how close u can getto these characters.
