No problem Jay. I'm not saying that 3d scanning is the de-facto way. Even with this 3d scan, I needed to manually model a good portion of the lips, the entire eye region, and the ear. If it was just clicking a button in zBrush, companies wouldn't need people like me or you to clean it up user added image On top of the scan data, I was given over 100 reference images that not only helped in the texturing process, but also gave me invaluable reference when modeling the parts that the scan had missed. I even wrote a program that will align a 3d model to an image plane, a la PF-Track, just to help me. I'm sure you know how much of a pain it is to line them up manually.


Imagination is more important than knowledge.
