a tutorial

step by step using example image forum member Light of Heaven

next steps

to add textures, need to browse and add in diffuse, uses V4 uv mapping so load a V4 based material preset first for inner mouth etc

fix face texture as smile puts teeth on lips add hair and a nice eye texture from content, (better than using facegen one)

to save save as scene, character or material preset
all load as .duf in Carrara 8.5 Beta but character preset works best with clothes autofitted there save the shader in Carrara as shown below

some silly Carrara renders
Gotta love Genesis’s morphing abilities

random renders

some random forumites, lesson, do not post your photo here, I will grab it

moar

even cartoons can be facegened

Actually the best ref photo to use is a neutral pose. Eg no smiling. Then after the transfer you can give your character a smile in facegen and export/import as a morph. You get more accurate results that way.

ok if you can get one
lots of unsmiling ones free to use here

I look creepy. lol

thx to LOH for some front and profile pics

lol. I never realized my face was THAT bony.  :D Still looks good.

I will try to do you dressed as Squall Leonhart by the end of the week as I reckon you would suit the character,
I am unfamilliar with Kingdom Hearts and gaming and stuff so it will only be my take on web images using Daz clothes.
will try to do hot female companions too.
