As you can see in the attached image my men are rather faceless.
I want to put a face, ears and hair onto the head ( a simple sphere )
without using any external graphic files, so UV Mapping is out.
I know I could model a face but I'm trying to keep each soldier model as
simple as possible because when I move on to "Waterloo" I'll have a lot of
objects and memory will be at a premium.
So does anyone have a texture I could use for a head? Remember I'm trying
to put a face on a sphere.
Thanks

I have no texture for you unfortunately.
But maybe you can try making one yourself, I think that with a few tries
and errors you would be able to end up with a decent texture. And once
you have the different features set up (head, nose, mouth, etc.) you can
do several face types with beard, moustache, various hair color etc.
You should also scale the heads to make them elipsoid,

Here is the result of a quick (and not very good) test.
Maybe you can do better, or find one that's already done. :-)
I like you picture by the way, just wondering what are those smoky
horses in the sky ? Any underlying symbolism ?

Smokey Horses!?
They are the explosive result of Mr Shrapnells new air-bursting
Howitzer-launched shells ( new in 1815 anyway ).
Thanks for your effort by the way. I was really hoping to create a texture
with pov code and thus avoid using a image as you have in your example.
I could use your method if its not anymore memory hungry. Do you know if
using an ImageMap uses more memory that a pov coded texture?

My first reaction would be to try the object pattern. You would have to
layer several of these to draw the eyes nose etc. Always make the outer
color transparent then layer the whole thing over your basic flesh
pigment. That was how I did all the background elements in this picture:

Excellent! I've just looked in the help and that seems to be just what I
need ( never read it before or seen code that used it ). I'll give that a
go, thanks.
