sw00000p I purposely made him exaggerated like a caricature but I do agree with all that you said.
Facegen and DAZ export may be an option down the line but I'm glad to now have a better way within iClone.

I downloaded your video and will study it tonight.

Thanks

Great work!

The iClone version came out much better overall. A few tweaks, and it will be quite good. I would narrow the cheek bones just a touch, and perhaps the chin as well. Sometimes it's better to use the "detail" panel controls instead of the sliders. Also, bring down the eye-whites a bit. They are quite bright.

The image you started with was pretty good, and that helps a lot. If you can get a good side view, it greatly improves your iClone head. A good way to get front and side views that match really well is to have your subject sit in an office chair so they can be turned without themselves moving. This way, the face will stay at the same level in each shot.

The office chair ideas is good and thanks again for all of the tips.
Hopefully the next version of iclone will add more detailed face fitting points during the photo fitting process also.

Well... the head looked good anyway, did you use the photoshop process or facegen because facegen does not give me a UV Template?

That's some really nice work sw00000p.

+1 Very nice work.

sw00000p, are those three images you posted fair game for us to download and play with? Personal use only, of course.

Swooooooop,
What version of Photoshop is a minimum to be useful? I don't mind buying it if I can find a less expensive older version at least for now.
Thanks,

The GIMP is a very good free alternative. It will do this just as well.

I wonder how panoramic stitching software would do with a face? Might be a fun experiment.

Rampa,
Thanks for the info on GIMP. I definitely have it on my pc and use it once in a while, but did not know it could do that.
