Creating Animatable Digital Doubles from a Single Photo - by 3Dtest

[@1800TALLENT]

It’s been more than a decade since he’s done a movie, so I’ve been wondering what Sean Connery has been up to lately. It’s great to know that as his alter ego, Mike Sherwood, aka 3Dtest, he is doing as fine a job creating 3D models and educational videos as he ever did as one of the world’s greatest actors.

[@adeebmomen4541]

This comment didn’t age well. May he Rest In Peace. Amazing actor.

[@1800TALLENT]

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. We've lost one of the great ones.

[@worst.generation.ever.]

This guy's tutorials are incredibly helpful. If anyone still sees these comments, please answer this question: Can much of the bump/normal map work in this video be replaced using skingen? It allows you to modify skin textures with pores and wrinkles and whatnot, so is the difference that skingen details don't change the normals resulting in the model interacting with lighting less realistically than it would with an updated normal map? Now that I think about it, this same question could be posed for using the new wrinkle feature.

[@skov3d]

That is a completely amazing and fast workflow

[@BBHair1]

That was really helpful, more like this please with an explanation of what you are doing and pressing at each stage and why would be amazingly helpful too! Thanks 😊

[@BBHair1]

How can you get it to look as real as it does in zbrush or is that not possible???

[@onlycorner5565]

you can work 4 days so 32 hours on one head likeness and it stil wont be that guy you dont see the side the above and below planes you are wasting your time 32 hours more precisely

[@WinMath]

I'd also like to know some of the Photoshop menu items you were using. I couldn't catch them even at 1/4 speed.

[@Ludus4H1]

Never saw something like that... good to know what is Reallusion able to do

[@missk1942]

I love the singing at the end , great work !

[@Dnightartist]

Simply MARVELOUS tutorial 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😀

[@aweidenhammer]

Interesting workflow. Not bad, though you really should put the diffuse map through some sort of delighting process. The diffuse color map retains way too much shading that tags it as a texture from a photo and not a reasonable pbr shader.

[@TheRB3tv]

He mentioned delighting when he rotated the original photo at the beginning.

[@user-cw3nb8rc9e]

Great to see thee whole process.

[@ilanmuallem4632]

Can we get this as an actual tutorial? I would pay for it if it covered all the tools.

[@МихаилБадаев-э5ф]

Perfect work!

Lovely ending bit!

[@reng7777]

My FRIENDS JUST ONE SUGGESTION.. THE 3D EFFECTS ARE REALLY NICE SO THE FINAL PRODUCT AS WELL, BUT I WOULD RECOMEND TO CHANGE THE TONE OF THE VOICE WHILE MAKING ANY VIDEO CONTENT, SINCE THIS SOUND REALLY DEMOTIVATING!, ANY HOW NICE JOB!

[@vikstar22]

Do you have a video showing how to create hair in Character Creator. I want to learn how to modify the existing hairstyles that are offered but it seems this step is done too rapidly and without much explanation in most videos I watch like this one.

[@metekavruk_Alanya]

If you had a good microphone sir that would be even more amazing... Thanks for influence as i will be using these methods for my game development.

[@metekavruk_Alanya]

@Twixarr video speech sound is absolutely coming from deep, you do not need to be an expert on this. Maybe he did not bother to setup a good mic for video - that is all. The man has perfect voice so i said he should use a good mic for us to hear it properly.

[@AdamRubenMovies]

Dear Reallusion, this was beautifully done. And thank you for a great tool. Could you perhaps please inform which stock-hair is used. I'm too old and slow to be able to see it in the movie and I can't seem to find the same hair on your content store either. Thank you and all the best from Copenhagen, Adam Ruben

[@Mimeniia]

Its hard grafting no doubt.

[@tionanima]

If you could paint in wrinkle maps from a scan library that would be outstanding!

[@RexSmithII]

When doing a re- projection, does that only work with small amount of morphs? I’ve noticed one time i needed to move my mouth height down and then when I hit re- projection it messed up the texture and was way off the mouth. What is the best way to do this?

Hi great job! Would you also make a 3d model from a photo for a client for a price? If yes, let me know about how much it would cost. Keep it up, thanks :)

[@MissesKennedy]

Same here. Would love to have a quote.

[@ace5]

Does the exported model also have triangles? Or can it export a quad based model?

[@random_julian]

i will reproduce my grandpa some day and i will animate him to speack with me. It was a great person.

[@maxaazerty]

What a wonderful idea, recreating our loved ones, i miss both of mine.. and i'm sure your grandpa was a beautiful person like mine.

[@redfalconvfx7050]

I won't do it I already has my own 3D model by using Cinema 4D but it is a deferent story for to creating a model of my loved ones especially if they are dead...cox there memories are enough for me so let them RIP...but this is my opinion

[@texasslingleadsomtingwong8751]

There is huge potential in that currently non-existent market . Combined with deep fake vocal replications , it could be huge.

[@texasslingleadsomtingwong8751]

@@redfalconvfx7050 the truth is , some folks will dearly love to have animations of their lost loved ones. But , I strongly suspect that after being acquainted with digital loved ones , many folks will find that it only reinforces how final death really is , and that the model only acts as a reminder of that death over and over .

[@random_julian]

@@maxaazerty yeah, relly was a kind person, it looks like gandalf, like the actor who played Gandalf because like him, my grandpa had short hair.

[@iClone316]

Is this Mike's actual picture?

[@kordaling]

can you generate controllers so the face/wrinkle map/blend shapes can be animated in another software like autodesk 3dsmax/Maya, or your limited to iClone facial animations controls?

is it possible to export this as .obj? without the textures, just the mesh

[@iClone316]

Maybe he covered it but I didn't catch it, what setting did he put the eyelid mask setting on? Or did he not touch that? I thought that had to be tweaked in order for the closed eye not look weird.

Hi! Here are the tutorials Mike made: www.reallusion.com/character-creator/headshot/tutorial.html#master%20class All the tricks and tips in this video are covered.

[@raymondstpaul4913]

Question is the software downloadable into one's computer for use offline? I notice you are also using Photoshop my guess Photoshop CC [I hate using rental to use of software subscription services! Is the is the case with the software you are demonstrating?] Can it be used with Affinity Photo a software similar to Photoshop? Can it be used in Blender a 3D or Lightwave 3D or other animation software? Am I able to buy it to own or is it limited by some license which expires after a time an then you are charged to use it? How much does it cost? For example I recently bought Substance Painter from Steam thinking it was mine to own an use offline that was not the case which was false advertising in my opinion. I want a software I can own not be tied to a single site to use offline only being online to get updates once in a while to purchase by my choice. PLEASE REPLY SOONEST. I am interested in the software, but I want to make clear my reasons for considering purchase an not have to return for a refund as was the case with Substance Painter or any other software!

[@reallusion]

All our software is offline.

[@taihavard]

Also Raymon, though this is a bit bit late, last time I checked there are still legitimate photoshop CS6 perpetual licences available. I bought Adobe CS6 master suite about 4 months ago for £500. I checked it all with adobe directly and it's a legitimate licence. I have seen individual apps like photoshop cs6 for about £100. So if you prefer photoshop, don't like subscription and can spare £100 you could have photoshop CS6 legally without subscription assuming there are still some of these licences around. The one I bought was from ebay though they could be available else where as well.

[@metacreation1]

Hi mike can you tell me or make a turorial how to set up the lightning you had in this video at the end when you present your character

[@reallusion]

Hi, there are some embedded Atmosphere and Light resources you can use. See if it helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5vWlmCkaqumla8

[@menofculture-m1s]

Okai so ? how does it look like in ICLONE after that ? Sholud i use exact same LIGHTS , to achived exact effect like in CC3 its important. Im able to buy Headshot. But Just Headshot is not enough right ? I need to buy those 1000+ morphs ? or im able to create solo just Mesh-Editing ?

[@reallusion]

You can use the same lights in iClone to achieve the same effect. The 1000+ morphs pack comes free with Headshot.

Sean Connery is creating a 3D model of Alec Guiness.

[@codebeat4192]

I have used the software of Reallusion in the past to create a character of myself however the problem is the huge amount of work and time (spread over a couple of days) you need to do it right and still after that it not very natural (over-acting or too slow transactions). Mouth and eyes behave very static, unnatural. I think that is the problem with this software and that is why I stop using it.

[@congressionalresearchinsti3897]

So what do you use now instead? And can you achieve the same amount of 'cloneness' of the original photo? And why can't you export from CC to improve the animation?

[@jameselliott883]

Looks like Ron Paul. The model probably hates the Federal Reserve too.

You should learn how to string together a sentence before saying whatever the fuck it is you're trying to say.

[@Aussie.Owlcoholic]

I think he's trying to say that nothing beats a handmade model. I think... I agree and disagree. You could get a much more accurate portrayal doing a likeness sculpt and projection with Mari but the benefit here is in the speed. Instead of taking 40+ hours it takes 3 hours. It just depend on what the project is.

Has anyone managed to translate that post in to english yet? I would love to know what he was talking about.
