In truespace 7.6, is it possible to load images of myself into the facial animator so I can make a 3d head look just like me?..And if so, how would I go about doing that?

Yes, it's possible.

Unfortunately, the hard part is the UV mapping required to get the photograph to wrap around the head properly.

There used to be a free program out there that mapped photos to a head.

Don't know if it's available or if it is free anymore. Also, don't remember the name of it. :(

Truespace76/tsx/FA/Textures/

you can see here how the textures are built. Copy your picture in place of the examples.

I think the manual has a walk thru tutorial for the FA, that will walk you thru the process of making the FA work with the existing faces, after doing a couple of them it is pretty easy (easy is a relative term) to get your own custom ones done.
