I need someone who has both FaceGen and the ability to use it well enough that the characters don't looked fucked up to help me make a morph for G3M.
Rank:
It's hit and miss with Facegen.
First of all you need good reference images to get the finished result looking anywhere near like the photo's you're using.
Secondly they rarely come out looking anything like the character you want.
I found it easier to use Facegen then export to Zbrush and use the reference images there to tweak the head. Not an easy task.
Also from what I've read (I've never used it), it bakes in glare and highlights from the reference photos into the textures so you're best off just using it for morphs and using another models texture.
Rank:Tis true Monkey.
The problem if you're trying to get a celebrity morph in Facegen and use say DAZ textures, it doesn't look anything like the person you hoped for.
I'm trying to do something for my sister, and I need a morph that looks like Sebastian Stan, and FaceGen was the only thing I could think of using, because there are no models out there that look close enough to him.
If you're just making a still picture you could find a prospective picture you want of Seb, pose your figure in the similar pose and then Photoshop his face on the render?
Best thing I found out was to find a matching hair for your model. If you use a hair on your model that is close to someones actual hair, they will look similar to each other.
And for the pictures you might need to align them in gimp. Facegen likes to have pictures that have eyes on same level. And sometimes you have to manually tweak them, they may lose their noses depth or have enormous jawline.
And one good way is to tween them with modify on Facegen. Facegen takes two models and tweens them as much as you like. Try it and find out yourself.
Frontal photos are pretty much all you need, unless you manage to find photos from exactly same photoshoot.
Hope this helps.
