VaM 1.x Lookalike ... first attempt

[Erot79]

I installed VAM a week ago and am trying my first attempt of LookALike a person. I've attached an example (she's a gf of someone very famous). What do you think and what do you suggest? The original texture and morph were created by FaceGen from the same image you see in the picture, but the morph in particular required a lot of work. I tried modifying the dark red areas around the eyes, but when I try to edit the head texture image in Photoshop, something changes and I get gray areas in various parts of the morph. Every tip and trick by experts it's well accepted

How are you modifying the dark red areas? With other areas turning gray it kind of sounds like you were reducing saturation on those red areas but might've applied it to the entire image by accident.

Hi, nope i was deledeting those areas leaving a under level with better colors. But i undesrtood isnt the best solution, better find a different image and make a new texture. As you can see things are getting better

Oh, I see. Yeah, it looks your second image is a lot better than the first. Looks really nice so far!

Good job! I recommend using the decalmaker plugin to stack multiple Facegen textures in VAM. You also can mix up different similar head morphs and play around with the sliders to get a more symmetrical, softer head morph.
