Hey guys, I am trying CT8 and I could use some advice when creating a character.

I would like to use a 2D photo to turn it to a 3D actor, but I can't find good photos in Google Images. They are all laughing or tilting their heads, making it impossible to create a decent face in CT8..

Where do you guys find straight looking photos for creating 3D Characters??

Thanks!!

Google "mug shots". They usually are not smiling.

Daz Studio renders are an option as well

Daz renders seems a good idea, I will put it to the test!

@rampa

I googled "mug shots", but man, those guys are pretty scary!! I don't know if I want to make 3D versions of their faces..

A long time ago (1-2 years) someone had posted here in the forum a site with many many human photo references. It had thousands and they were all free. But I can't remember anything else about this post, and I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks anyway!!

I responded to your same question in the CT8 forum here: https://forum.reallusion.com/FindPost319193.aspx.

Yes, I thought that there is more traffic in this section , so there would be more chances that my post would get answered.

But then I totally forgot about the post in the CT8 section.

Sorry for double posting and thanks for the replies!!

Been down this path. It is hard enough to get an artist to tie their hair back and not smile. Google works but it is all in the wording ie face photo reference free. Then once you see a few close to what you want - click and choose view more. Hit and miss but you will usually find something suitable. I narrow the search for ethnicity etc.
