Any thought about Character Creator Headshot plug in ?

cgidesign

Has somebody here used the Reallusion Character Creator's Headshot plugin to create a head from a photo and got the result into DS somehow?

I am no so much asking about the details of how to do it, but whether is possible at all. I don't have used Character Creator but being interested in it.

Question is whether it is possible to create heads for DS in general (an official way so to say, instead of hacks and workarounds which only developers can understand). If Blender is needed as intermediate step, that would be fine. Doing adjustments by sculpting or modeling is also ok for me.

Workflow I am thinking about:

• Getting a Photo of a head / face
• Using it in Character Creator to create a 3d head
• Exporting to DS directly (if possible at all)
• Exporting to Blender and fine tuning via modeling / sculpting
• In Blender mapping the head to Genesis geometry via projection tools or other solutions
• exporting as morph to DS

I know it is a simplified explanation but maybe clear enough to understand what I mean?

The default way is to use Daz Studio to create a new characters and apply/install new morphs for them.

People using different programs to create morphs, but rigging is done in Daz Studio, as far as I know.

What Genesis version are you talking about?

We have many of them: Genesis, Genesis 2, Genesis 3, Genesis 8, Genesis 8.1 and Genesis 9.

Anyone with the Blender skills to do this bit can probabaly create custom genesis head morphs without the $500 buy in for headshot and CC4

I know, but I am interested in thoughts about a Character Creator / Headshot to DS pipeline right now - pure Blender to DS is clear to me (I tried this and it works - I just need to get more andvanced experience over time).

Perhaps you should start a thread over in the official Reallusion Headshot forums
as there are likely to be many more headshot users there.
