Daz 3D FaceGen Artist Pro Tutorial - Real Faces to Genesis Characters

In this Daz3D tutorial video, we will look at the basics of using the FaceGen Artist Pro application to generate Genesis Characters. FaceGen is becoming one of the most reliable 3D Face Generator Software programs available for home studios. I am creating a Genesis 8 Male Character based on my face in this specific use case.

This is a lengthy tutorial, so chapter markers are available below.

FaceGen will work for Genesis, Genesis 2, Genesis 3, Genesis 8, and Genesis 8.1 characters in Daz Studio. In addition, the Artist Pro version will have all the appropriate features unlocked. You won't need any paid Daz content to use this application, but it could help in the refinement process.

In general, we will need 1 to 3 passport-like photos of the subject to load into FaceGen. We will need to place markers on certain areas of the face according to the prompts of the program. After the program makes its analysis, it will generate a 3D model of the face. After making any desired adjustments, we select the parameters for exporting to Daz 3D Studio.

In Daz 3D, we load a generic Genesis character and then use the new morph from FaceGen to get the shape of the face. Then we apply the different color maps to the appropriate parts of the Genesis Character body.
