Hi! Thank you for making this tutorial! There are a couple of errors that we'd like to point out. 1) You didn't setup camera and didn't switch on automatic focal length estimation. Usually that makes the result much worse, because by default it's being setup to 50mm lens on a full frame camera (probably we will change it in future). 2) When you change photos in Photoshop digitally zooming the picture - you're changing the focal length while it should be the same across all photos. 3) It's better to start pinning features like corners of the eyes, mouth, etc instead of matching the edges of chin, cheeks, forehead, etc. Because you don't know where exactly the point that you've clicked on the model's cheek is on the real person's face, same for chin, forehead, etc. In the same time, you can easily see where the corner of the eye is on the model and on the real person's face. 🖖
thanks for this awesome tool! i wish there was a tutorial for using images with no Exif data, like when trying to do a celebrity with images from google. say i find a set of images taken at the same time but obviously, without camera info. are there recommended generic settings for that? thank you.
I love blender but the ui is so daunting 😱😱😱 so many options I get lost and find it hard to navigate and I HV to learn all d shortcuts against coz so many of them if I get out of practice for even a month😖
This is really cool. Generally manual modeling tends to always be symmetrical which leaves an artificiality tone. This new technology as well as photogrammetry help in the authenticity of the model.
Are you referring to Character Creator 3 (CC3) from Reallusion Products )??? Because if so there's the new plug-in called Headshot which is way more professional then what we see in this video. Of course you'll need CC3 Pipeline. But good news because of the present situation in the world they are have a 50% sale on all their product line (not the Market places) In case you're curious: www.reallusion.com/character-creator/headshot/
I still have a lot to learn when it comes to customizing and sculpting my characters. but I've been really hoping for an add on like this because it'll help me with a face base. I have no problems with bodies and clothing but faces are like the ultimate enemy for me haha I need all the help I can get.
Oh of course of course! Maybe technology can get so good that artists are no longer needed and production houses can outsource virtually everything to people overseas and pay them 2 dollars an hour. It'll all be so great!!
Thanks. I am starting a youtube channel for tutorial in maths. I am having a plan to include 3D animations for concept clarity. And i have not even done 2D yet. But i still hope i can make it, your detailed lectures are great.. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
OMG. it's the only method of pinning that works, all others recommending to start with corner of eyes or ears, or other parts don't work but for the first two pins, the third pin going really boom, with the mesh at 1km distance from the photo although I dragged it 1mm, or so, including the official tutorial from Kentools, insult to injury. Are you the only sane person out of tens of thousands ? Thanks a lot.
Its still hard if u do it traditionally like sculpting a face with clay or carving a stone but digital is faster :) if u make a mistake just press undo ;)
Love it! Thanks for this video. I made mine in about 30 minutes thanks to all the tutorial! Now I can really import my cosplay files onto my exact head haha

great overview. how did you zoom in? my hotkey zoom (i think it's option-middle button) doesn't work in pin mode, only when i exit pin mode, so i have to use the zoom icon, which is not ideal. thanks.
That how it always is, from photoshop 1 to now, now days it doesn't take much for a person to do work in photoshop that it use to plugins killed the technical side of it, same as templates for graphic design has taken being paid for having the skills away from a lot of people
I love that direction as while technical skill should be praised, creative expression becoming accessible will allow us to see so many things we wouldn't have otherwise.
@@NecoLumi Right until design work becomes a commodity mostly driven by easy to use technology such that the barrier to entry is so low that concepting and design work becomes dirt cheap (a trend that's already happening), driving down wages and further increasing competition for the same dwindling jobs. I love that direction too. You're right, it's a wonderful, wonderful direction. Soon artists will go the way of other industries who are seeing skyrocketing unemployment, diminished wages, and oversaturation of the industry. Yes, let's all just praise the onset of skill reducing technology, whee!!! Pretty soon we'll all just be able to click a button and it'll be like create a character, like in video games. Yay! :)
I am amazed at every video tutorial I have seen from you, you are my hero you should have a super cape, i'm going to call you Super asknk, a life saver and a god send may the heavens bless you.
This is amazing, I have an idea for a shortfilm where I would need a younger version of myself and I was wondering how to accomplish this and this might be a way
From the developer website: Do I need a license for FaceBuilder for Blender? Not at the moment! You can use FaceBuilder for Blender for free while it's in free open beta test. Though, we'd be really grateful if you tell us about your experience and issues you faced!
Great video. I am looking to get into 3d. What do you do about the other side of the head that is showing up black? Do you need a third and fourth picture from those angles to fill them in?
No it isn't. Photogrammetry requires a careful camera and lighting setup, and depending on your computer hardware and software settings, can take ages to recreate the face. Then you need to retopo it. This method may not be as accurate, but it's a relatively quick and effective method.
It'll give you more detail but you need many high quality images to produce a good 3d model. It seems like this is more of a quick and dirty way to produce results.
Did you try one of the UV'd head textures off that 3Dsk site, I got a lot of those way back before I knew you'd need a head mesh made from same person, never been able to use them
i'm trying to get the morph function to work. how do i get "add modifiers" to work in my blender 2.79? when i hit the "apply" button, it says "modifiers disabled". but it is enabled. it says other things need to be "on" eveything is on. what am i doing wrong?
Somebody help me! I was stupid enough to think I could model a whole character out of this so spent ages on the hair. I then tried to rub the mouth and it went haywire. The hair was everywhere. Is there a way to fix this
@@ryanhtudor Yep. Make a particle system for the head. Weight paint the top of the head. Use the comb to comb the hair. Would you like a tutorial on THIS
I'm thinking of purchasing it. I animate in Blender. Do you know if once I'm done in CC3, I can export to fbx clothed character so I can go straight to blender?
....... My portrait skills on paper sketching in graphite is now useless. I'm happy and not happy at the same time ahahah but thank you so much for this tutorial. Knowing I just need to master functions instead of allllll that I thought it would be just up my enthousiast to learn Blender even more.
