STEP 24 OF 67 · YOU ARE THE CHARACTER ARTIST

Generate your head in Headshot 3

Load the front photo into Character Creator 5 and run Headshot. Its AI builds the head and fills in what the photo cannot see. Then refine it to look like you.

How to do it

  1. Run Headshot on the front photo.
  2. Pull the Refine Face curves until jaw, nose and eyes match your photos.
  3. Use DeLight to remove the photo's lighting from the skin.
  4. Fix blemishes or add scars with Headshot 3.1's layer painting.
  5. From a 3D scan or sculpt instead of a photo, use Mesh Mode.
How AI speeds this up

Headshot's AI builds the head. Your screenshot next to your photo is the proof you upload here.

Example from a sample game

Ashfall: Kaia's head with the creator's jaw and a burn scar painted on the left cheek.
