Creating a Virtual 3D Head

When creating a character for your 3D film, the first stage is to create a face and head for that character. iClone includes a number of templates that you can use or modify for your own projects. You can also create a head from a photograph or any imported image you want to transform into a 3D virtual actor’s face.

In this tutorial you will learn how to create a head for a character based on a photograph or imported image. There are six stages to creating a head based on a photograph:

• Importing a face photo

• Defining the facial angle

• Setting the facial boundary

• Adjusting the angle and orientation of the face

• Adjusting the feature points and contours of the face

• Matching face color with skin color
