“I see folks on YT nailing the looks easy but as always there’s probably more to it than they share.”
That sounds interesting, for sure. I’ve gone through it many times, always the same way, and only with this one model did it give a similarity. I’ve watched every tutorial and official videos, doing it exactly the same way, yet I still got an incorrect result.
I can imagine that if the 3D scan resembles an existing metahuman head that is already in the database, then there will be a better chance of recognition. However, my father’s head model contradicts this because his face is quite unique with huge ears and a curved nose. I have never seen any Metahuman face like that, so it can’t resemble anything… so I can only speculate as well.
I hope that over time, this problem will be resolved, and every 3D scan can be completely transformed into MH.
