Very, very cool. Especially with the shades.

This almost makes me want to buy a camera. If more games incorporate these types of features into them I will pick one up.

How many times did you have to re-take your photo?

Ok it helps that I have a buzz cut in real life but when I did this it looks EXACTLY like me - it's freaky. My son tried it (who has hair that's spikey) which revealed the one issue with what they're doing here - they don't handle hair that well - but in a military game like this you need a buzz cut anyway :)

What I'd really like to see is this technology moved into the profile system of the dashboard. Let us put our face into a 3D model, and then let us customize a body (tall/short fat/skinny muscularity, outfits, etc) then let ALL games have access to the results. Imagine a tennis game where the default custom character is you, a go-cart game where you can look over and see your buddy's face, seeing yourself golf with Tiger, etc. Nintendo is doing something like this with Wii already (the Mii characters) but you have to manually set up the appearance - this is a fantastic use of the Vision camera and I hope MS is impressed enough to license the technology for all games to use without each developer having to license it and repeat all the work Ubisoft did here.

i tried this out with a few buddies, and apparently others on live were not able to see our faces. it simply came out as a standard white guy face instead of the one we took. anyone else have this problem?

i think it looks really ropey to be honest. it's a nice idea but it takes a proper character artist to make in game models and textures look good... the lighting on the texture map just doesn't match the environment.

don't get me wrong, i bet it's fun and i'm looking forward to it but it doesn't look anywhere near as good as a specific and professionally painted face map.

and i agree with a previous post, xbox fan as i am, i had this feature on tony hawks on my psp ages ago.

To change your image once you created it: Sign In then go to Multi Player->Xbox Live->Player Info->Service Record->Change Appearance.

(Makes no sense to me why they place it under SERVICE RECORD...but oh well.)

I feel kind of stupid asking about this, but I have a vision camera and I bought R6 a few nights ago. I can't seem to find the option to do the face mapping anywhere in the game. Can anyone be a bit more specific about the location?

Puma- where is the option to change your character? I couldnt find an option to retake photos after they'd been saved. Manually deleting the R6 files may work, but then again haven't tried that and shouldn't have to.

It took me forever to get it to accept the side view, but once it finally did, the results weren't that bad. Especially since it looks like I lost about 40 pounds. Inspiring!

Is it me or does Major bear a striking resembalance to Ali G?. (maybe it's the glasses) :)

Still, got to get myself one of those Live Cameras.

Yes, you can change your character as many times as you want using the vision cam. Your ranking is saved to your live tag not the actual character.
