thanks a lot

I usually use FcaeGen as well, but I don't have access to it at the moment. Still, even CT8 can give decent results with a good photo and a bit of effort.

I always use facegen, I find there're more possibilities and above all choosing bake textures for max in 4K, I think that makes the difference. I made this from a picture of DEFOE, it's not iray






     

Thanks, JimmyB7 for sharing this. A great resource.

But you're using Crazytalk for the heads, right?

I made this




     

No, I just added two spot light and played with light colour


     

Just default CC3 lighting?  I'm trying to figure out why yours is so much better (I just used what CC3 comes with).

Oh no, I gave up with Iray, it's nativ render. 

Oh, well that's great news.  I thought your render had a somewhat softer look.  All are good, but of the three I'd put yours on top.

Oh no, I gave up with Iray, it's nativ render. I 've got inspiration with unreal lighting, nativ render is plenty of possibilities and i canot even imagine what it will be with future realistic shaders...
