Hello everyone, I am new at Reallusion software, I wonder if some one knows a good place to get face photos to use with headshot? I tried with many but I am not getting cool results
thanks for your help, best regards

photoshopping skills are important for really making the most of headshot - the issue is between the lighting and the shadows....a perfect image for a perfect head in headshot, won't look realistic because it won't have any shadows
For example, facegen - is a nice software for creating face images - https://facegen.com/
the problem is they will never look realistic because they lack nuance of real light, shadows and imperfections
These are some exercises I developed to hone in on my own photoshopping skills which made a big difference in creating realistic looking faces,
This exercise teaches you to turn a half face into a full face, in the process you will learn how to smooth out defects, adjust colors / shadows and shades, and resizing - reshaping aspects of the character.
With this exercise, I took the last 4 presidents and started making 1 face out of the 4 images, in this one, you will learn how to smooth over and resize images - which also helps when creating faces for character creator - once you learn these skills you will never be short of images for headshot

https://generated.photos/.
https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/.
There is also a thread somewhere of 1000 pre-selected AI-generated photos for download. I'll have to find the reference.
Here it is: https://forum.reallusion.com/FindPost432575.aspx.
We really should have a way to have stickies for useful resources, but because one day my memory will fail...:unsure:

great resources Animagic - the paid one is easier because they cleaned it up a ton - their algorithm looks limited though as most of the faces look relatively the same.
the thispersonisnotreal site, is the one i've been using,, but requires a lot of photoshopping to remove glasses, clean up the shadows, and hide teeth,...this one is my personal favorite because it's so versatile ...and I can use the photoshopping tricks I posted on this thread to mix and match parts to make new faces. the dropbox collection looks great - all faces are very clean, not much to fix and no teeth to hide / photoshop.
- I'd start with the drop box one, which is the cleanest easiest to use, then work my way through the generated-photosite - which needs some photoshopping to remove teeth then finally thispersonisnotreal which is advanced photoshop to fix up the images and prep them for a clean character.
