Character Creation Texture Resources

Hi everyone. 

This is a question for all you character creators out there.   

When you create a character, where do you go for your facial and body textures?  I'm sure they're all not your friends posing in a studio for you to take photos - 

I'm looking to get into creating characters for Daz and wondering where there are some excellent sources for photos to use for character reference and their textures and that are allowed to be used that way commercially.  

I am however submitting my first characters using myself and my friends that allow me to redistribute their photos.  It is very generous of them to allow me to do so. :)   

Thanks in advance....

    just as an example, there are others for females and different generations

  • Oh yes, that I do understand, but maybe I should reiterate my question as, what do people use for their ideas?  Do they use faces they've seen or are there stock images that people buy to use as the facial textures?   That's what I'm wondering.  I kind of figured that they use the texture resources that are out there as overlays for the textures they place on top of them in photoshop, if that's how they do it. I find it amazing when things come out photographic quality, and that's what I'm wondering about. smiley

  • And I seem to recall, but I can't find it for the life of me, I thought there was a website out there that had tons of these resources of photos of people to be used for such purposes.
