STEP 23 OF 67 · YOU ARE THE CHARACTER ARTIST

Photograph yourself

Headshot 3 needs only one front photo. For the best likeness, shoot in soft even light with a neutral face: front, both sides and three-quarter, plus full-body front, side and back.

How to do it

  1. Soft daylight, no harsh shadows, neutral expression.
  2. Head: front, left, right, three-quarter.
  3. Body: front, side, back in fitted clothes.
  4. Upload them here (they stay private to your project).
How AI speeds this up

Better photos mean less fixing later. Ask Duke what to change if the likeness looks off.

Example from a sample game

Ashfall: 7 photos taken by a window on an overcast day.
