NHL Historic FaceGen Library V3.0 (By jh95)

General Info:
This is the third version of my "NHL Historic FaceGen Library".
The target of the library is to have FaceGens available for every player signed by a NHL team at the start of a game for as many historic seasons as possible.

A library item for a player consists of three files:
1. The *.fg file created with "FaceGen Modeller 3.5" for a player, e.g. "Adam_Deadmarsh_10_5_1975.fg"
2. The *.png file generated for a player based on the *.fg file, e.g. "Adam_Deadmarsh_10_5_1975.png"
3. The source file which was used to generate the *.fg file for a player, e.g. "Adam_Deadmarsh_10_5_1975_S.jpg"

Current library inventory:
The library right now contains 9076 items for 2269 NHL players which were signed by a NHL team in the following seasons:
19XX-90 (Started with V3.0)
1990-91 (Added with V1.0)
1991-92 (Added with V1.0)
1992-93 (Added with V1.0)
1993-94 (Added with V1.0)
1994-95 (Added with V1.0)
1995-96 (Added with V1.0)
1996-97 (Added with V1.0)
1997-98 (Added with V2.0)
1998-99 (Added with V3.0)

Hints:
To get the best looking FaceGen results for players please make sure to have a look at the following settings.
Search for a player with a picture generated based on a FaceGen file after EVERY start of FHM X.
Select the dropdown menu "PICTURE".
1. Choose the value "Not Set" for the option "Set hair color" (Otherwise it seems that there is a space in the corners between the helmet and the face of the player)
2. Choose the value "Grey" for the option "Set eye color" ("Grey" is the most neutral eye color)

Known Issues:
FHM X right now sometimes seems to have issues with the FIRST creation of a picture based on a FaceGen file.
If you think the player looks weird try the option "Import PhotoFit(Facegen) file" in the dropdown menu "PICTURE" and choose the FaceGen file of the player manually.
Most of the time the second generated picture looks better (If not, then the quality of my FaceGen file might be the cause for that issue! ;-))

What Next:
I will add new seasons over time and post updates for the library...
