Myself As A Model?

[Jeremyofmany]

Hi, I was just wondering if it were possible to take a picture of myself and use software to create a full body (or at least face) model of myself for HL2DM?

The best way to do that is to take a pre-existing model, tweak the mesh to look like you and then photoshop your face into the texture. I used a similar method to do this:

You can use a program called FaceGen to take a picture of your face and have it create a model of your... well... face.

but to export the model you need to buy the program. Just to let you know

you know the script in XSI that helps you create a basic shape of a head?
well there is a MAX plugin that does that better, and the plugin is for free

Using which programs? 3D Studio Max? Blender? FaceGen? Adobe Photoshop? Milkshape 3D?

Whichever takes your fancy. I prefer 3D Studio, but people have varying tastes.
