Anyone having success creating a CC character with a celebrity/famous likeness? I've been working for a couple of days on an early career Dustin Hoffman and I'm failing spectacularly (but still having some amount of fun). However, I think I did a pretty solid job with this JFK character. What do you think?
Would love to see anyone else's famous look-a-likes. Are you having big success or just a hard time bringing these likenesses to life?

I like to think of it as more a "tribute" than an actual likeness, the same way an impersonator (like Rich Little -- for all you youngsters, Google) could invoke a celebrity but you didn't for a moment believe he actually *was* that celebrity. Here's a video I did for last Halloween that has three of my attempts -- I'll bet you can figure them out :>):
And here's a couple of my efforts to really do someone -- again, more "tributes" than actual "wow, that's really them!":

One more thing -- I do think a LOT of the likeness of any person is in their hair, which is where we have issues in iClone due to the lack of variety. So getting it "right" is more often than not a question of whether you happen to have the hair of someone you are trying to mimic.

Good stuff! I love those cheek wrinkles on the Duke Delerna. I've been trying to get those myself to no avail. Also trying to get better horizontal forehead wrinkles that don't affect the mesh. Alas... Rogue, your Kim got me curious about seeing the character with an old G2 flattop hairstyle so I worked on it a bit this morning and came up with the one below. Not perfect but not bad though I think he's half Kim, half Hitchcock andc half Henry Kissinger...hehe. Two things that made me happy was CC's ability to make minor mesh modifications to the glasses (to get that bulging head on small glasses look that Kim has) and to the hair style making Kims head a bit thicker on top via the hair. The second picture below shows the modification to the hair to get the desired effect. I also widened that tie a bit. Hate the default skinny tie. Also amused that no matter how much you scale his head compared to the body, he still looks like the character which is to say the actual guy looks a lot like a caricature...but that's stating the obvious. 93% of original size (was 539x16) - Click to enlarge 93% of original size (was 539x16) - Click to enlarge

Plus, your description of my attempt was 2FN funny. PS - No one under 60 knows who the hell Kissinger is, so that was revealing! lol I do a MEAN Kissinger impersonation if you ever come up with that one for shits and grins - would be hilarious :P ~V~
