Hello!

I need to make a character that looks as much as possible to my boss! I think that the set of tools that are designed by Reallusion could work for me however I don`t know where to start! I managed to make a 3D in Crazy Talk 8 and then export it to Character Creator but it doesn`t resemble him too much in my opinion. Also How can I make (or buy) a hair mesh that resembles what I need? I've been to the marketplace but can't find one that seems appropriate. I also need business clothes form him! Any guidance from expert users? Thanks in advance!! https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/739f8a4a-6782-44ca-a902-807a.png

Just using the image you posted here, and then scaling it up to a larger size, I managed to create this: The hair needs work, but it is essentially "Bernard's Hair" that needs Opacity editing.

Applied to the Christian Character for demo purposes.

I think you need a higher resolution image to start with, so you can pinpoint the key positions of the facial profile in CT.

Thank you so much for your reply!! You helped me a lot! I have requested my boss for better quality pictures already!
About the hair, how can I get that asset? Will it work on the basic male mesh in the trial version? Could you also suggest me a nice quality asset for the suit? I need to make a list of all the items and/or licenses needed to produce the character along with the expected result so my bosses can authorize the purchase.

Thank you!!

Get a STRAIGHT ON Face shot without expression... tell him you will edit to give him other details such as teeth and eyes using the software.  

Bernard is available as a Trial under Chuck and the Neighbors ---->  http://www.reallusion.com/ContentStore/iClone/pack/DigitalCast_Neighbors/default.aspx

Not really sure what will or will not work as TRIAL items.. but most items should have an option for try before buy as an alternative.

As far as the clothing, if you want a suit for the character, you may have to design it or buy this http://www.reallusion.com/ContentStore/iClone/pack/ClothBaseForCharacterCreator_ProfessionalOutfits/default.aspx .  From the image I saw, the person is wearing more of a casual look with open collar and jacket, and that is already in the Clothing options for CC.
