Guides How to use foto2vam

Ola!

The exe should work pretty much directly after putting it in the folder. It is hard to help if you without errors, screenshots, and more details.

and what folder do I put?

I'm not supporting this anymore. This is very old tech, and we have far better tools to create characters now.

I suggest you try Evolutionary Characters.

I want to look into these new tools -- quick question though; are these the tools you would use if you are starting from 2D photographs? Or are these for purely new models?

Purely for new models.
Working based on a photograph, we have no "tools" that outputs a proper result.

You could use Face Transfer 2 from Daz and convert the result to a G2... but the result is good because of the texture, and the texture Face Transfer outputs is so bad compared to the best skins there is in VAM, that you would need to redo it completely.

TL;DR: if you're looking for a tool that does a very (very very) good base from a photograph without much work, that doesn't exists.

I appreciate the response! So those who use reference images, that's the world of using a workflow such as Blender > Daz > VAM, yes?

Do you have a TL;DR workflow that's better?

Out of curiosity, with all the updates in AI and image tools, has anyone come up with an effective workflow for generating models based on images or videos? I've found that ChatGPT's new image tools are OUTSTANDING for cleaning up photos (and gives them a better symmetry). Still bad for removing eyelashes, heh.

None whatsoever. Nobody ever made anything more than that somewhat "alpha foto2vam" that never really work very well anyway.
