Create model of any face?

dondraw

I may be wrong, but I remember ads that said I could make good photos of my or any face into a face of a 3d model? True? Untrue?

thanks,

There's Face Transfer 1/2, FaceGen, and Headshop.

Face Transfer 2 claims to use AI, but not quite sure how that works technically.

I am not sure what you mean - create photo-real renders of imaginary faces, create 3D versions of real facxes, or something else?

anyway, industry standard would be to put actor into photogrammetry camera array to get 4D scan of their face in different FACS expressions and then use something like Faceform Wrap to wrap to basemesh (e.g., genesis 9)

apparently you can hire out professional body scanning studios, according to youtube videos. or buy/rent your own handheld scanner.

Well, the link i posted is a service that can generate morph from photo and has a plugin for Daz Studio, so not sure if it's relevant that "Daz doesnt include it in Daz Studio". 

The other process I mentioned still answers your question, albeit was mainly just for context as I was not expecting you to follow through with it.  In the year 2025, it has never been easier to scan a face or body and wrap to genesis figure so it's not as though it's impossible to go through the workflow I described on a small budget.

i gotcha, finally i understood, used tje Face maker and I'm pleased with results. I'll look at body scanner sometime but right now, do not need to with gen 9. thanks for your patient replies.
