Xbox Live's Major Nelson

'Rainbow Six Vegas' face mapping

Major Nelson in a Video Game!I was playing around with the face mapping in ‘Rainbow Six Vegas’ (released this week) and I’d thought you’d like to see the results. (More images on Flickr site.) If you have an Xbox Live Vision Camera and you are connected to Xbox Live, you can go into the Multiplayer menu and one of the options is to customize your character with your own face. It’s quick and easy…and comes out with some surprising results. After working the camera a little bit with a straight on face shot, and then a side shot…RSV goes to work and take the two images crunches them for a while (2–3 mins) to form a digital version of yourself that you can then use in game. 


I actually found it pretty useful since I quickly recognized my team mates faces (instead of having to look for their Gamertag) as we were working our way through the 4–player co-op. If you have the Xbox 360 version of RSV and a Vision camera, give it a try. I guess this is the closest I’ll ever come to being in a video game.

That is so freaking cool! I'm not even a Rainbow Six fan, but that really makes me want the game and a Vision Cam.

I'd like to see it without the glasses to see how accurate it actually is.

You don't have to pay points.

Also, I tried it w/o the glasses...and it looked good. I liked the glasses look though...I look more 'I'm going to kick the door in and take 10 Tango's down.'

I like the glasses Major. I'd never of thought of using a Vision Cam like that.

Using it to customise your character with actual clothing/equipment rather than just your face is such a good idea.

I still have to wait a week or so to have R6 Vegas here. It does look share though.

Thanks for the shots, Maj!
