4 WAYS To Make 3D CHARACTERS In Under 17 MINS ! *ULTIMATE GUIDE* Blender, FaceGen, MetaHuman, CC3

*CORRECTIONS: 1. Keentools Facebuilder is 2weeks free trial $149 for a full license 2. Metahuman currently only in use for Unreal Engine via the user agreement. Hope that clears up any confusion! *

Metahuman is NOT ! GOOD! THEY OWN YOUR AVATAR YOU ONLY GRANTED WITH A LICENSE TO USE YOUR AVATAR. FU.. THESE P!GS!! YOU WASTING YOUR TIME AND ENERGY ON MAKING SOMETHING, YOU PAYING MONEY! AND YET YOU DON'T EVEN OWN YOUR OWN CHARACTER.

I tried facegen a few years back, don't know whether it's improved, but back then I thought it was rubbish. If you take off the texture map the model itself has no resemblance. It's a low poly smooth mesh with limited features. It's only the fact it slaps the texture map on that it gives a resemblance, which if you slapped the texture map on any head would give a resemblance because we are looking at the texture map and not so much the facial land marks of the mesh itself. It has no normal map either.
To get the best resemblance in metahuman creator your original head has to be as accurate as possible, then create and export a conformed mesh in metahuman identity, export, sculpt, import back. Create metahuman id again but this time choose the create from conformed mesh and use the conformed mesh you imported. It will most likely be facing the wrong direction but that doesn't matter as you don't need the landmarks, you just click create metahuman. The result will be a nearer likeness.
You can then go onto improve the likeness in other ways that would take too long for me to highlight here.

Are those free for commercial use?

Freaking Loving this Channel

Definitely make an in-depth Dax workflow

but was is about the hair? facegen looks good but without hair its useless...

Great video! Extremely valuable;)

I’m looking for the best software to take those characters and key frame them out into a scene.

Really fascinating tut. Question; what is the best option for integrating a character bought and brought in from CG Trader for example ?

face builder not free unfortunaly

It takes 200 steps to do one thing in Blender! I feel like a mouse in a maze, and I'm not a very smart mouse.

What a well done video!

I could never think of someone summing up such huge features and softwares in 16 minutes.
Great job!

Thank you for making this video!

Thanks!

how do you load the generated face into daz studio?

How can I animate them and change facial expressions (emotions)?

Hi sir I am from the Philippines. Do you have tutorial about how to install headshot in character creator 3 thank you

Hi sir I am from the Philippines. Do you have tutorial about how to install headshot in character creator 3 thank you

I just payed 2000$ for iclone8, character creator 4, skin gen, iray plugin, hair and makeup, and couple other nicknacks so I guess its gone up in price.

thank you very much max

Can you do this with full body characters and not just faces? Thats what I am trying to find out about...

Love this video, I think I’ve watched it four times.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I am using Daz Studio and iClone just like you are. If you had to choose between the two of them for animation, which one do you prefer? I use Daz to purchase my models, but haven't used the animation much. How does Daz compare to iClone? thanks for what you are doing! I have subscribed! Mike

How do I create anime characters to 3d , I am planning to recreate 3d scene of madara . I’m just a beginner

Ur legend

This is amazing! Thank you!

Hi! I can't export in genesis 8 format :(

Hard work and good tutorial

Meta Human access Lmao go for it i got access even before i could signup properly

Fantastic video!

my Meta Humans button isnt in my software??

So basically the "under 17 minutes" in the title is referring to the length of the video, not the modeling time working on all those programs.....😒

Is that drake in the thumbnail?

thank you for this panorama, across these 4 what is your best workflow to transfer texture to actual geometry in the case of 3d printing? cheers

amazing id love to know more about Daz

THANK YOU!!!

I love CC3, but dealing with Reallusion's actively hostile licensing is so frustrating, I'm thinking seriously about other options

I AM the few chosen to be Superbmetahumanimortal

Des+Tiny

Looks game asset level of model

1st method work only with daz?

pissed you had to have drake in the thumbnail lol where that model at ?

you kinda look like mizkif

Pretty huge con for MetaHuman not mentioned: "Characters generated in MetaHuman Creator, including those in the sample project, are licensed for use in Unreal Engine projects. This means that you must render MetaHumans with Unreal Engine; you cannot render them outside of Unreal Engine."

This is awesome you included Metahumans in this video!

Is there a reason the meta humans tab isn’t in my bridge? I’ve updated it 1,000 times and it’s still not there

Absolutely awesome intro - thank you
