Celebrities Sculpting Project: Kate Beckinsale

[Robin Baker]

Hello guys!

Today I don't have anything to do so I start this project to import to games ?.

I will use my "Precise Polygon Projector" technique to ensure professional outcome ?. With the help of the Projectors, Ada's face will be morphed into Kate Beckinsale 's face. And then I will modify the texture to improve the likeness.

Any ideas?

Project update: half way not successful, but I still confidence that I can improve it. Just one project Right Side used, one more project Front Side to go.

 

[lerver]

This is great. Please keep posting your progress. I don't know anything about 3D modeling but I'm curious.

[Robin Baker]

Thank you lerver ? I will continue to update. I guess I'm not too bad "copier" so if I keep use more projectors the outcome will be improved. I just need more time ?.

 

 

[Robin Baker]

Let's try harder ?

After push and pull stage, her face became like a battle field. So I had to use low poly mould and original
Ada's poly to correct the jaw, the forhead, and the eyes. The hair is from RE6 Sherry.

Today I will share a beginner's trick: when she turns right about 20 degree, we must still can see her right ear ?.

 

 

In today's update I used RE6 Sherry eye lashes, MGS-TPP Quiet's hair:

[Robin Baker]

Hello, I have tried many times and this is the only one which shows improvement. It came with a more accurate projecting method.

Youre getting there, gj. This could be used as a head preset in Kenshi

[Robin Baker]

Hi! I'm glad you can use this. More updates will come soon ? !

[Kargrin]

Here are the tools/template if youre interested https://www.lofigames.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=10732

[Robin Baker]

My favorite game list is long already but thanks. I watched the reviews and I can see that people love Kenshi ?.

[Robin Baker]

Today let's adjust the Right Side Projector. She will be beautiful next time I promise ?. The point is the low poly moulds must be adjust first, before adjusting on the target figure.

[Robin Baker]

It's time to adjust the 3D shape to fit the final target picture. The 3 point matching was done quickly by VC++ (to calculate), and Maya scrip (to move). The matching is important because I had to move many times between the adjusting position and the picture. Current matching level is about 60%. After matching 3 important points to position the shape in good direction, I will match every remaining points.

[Robin Baker]

With all the maths and techniques thrown in, things are still difficult ?. But at least now I know what to do ?.

Never lose hope in math and technology. They always can help.

Hello, I'm too busy but I'll do my best to update every two weeks.

There's an issue that I think you might be running into here, insofar as your source images don't all seem to have a consistent focal length... Even the small difference in lens choice between an 80mm or 85mm professional studio photograph is going to introduce some minor distortion, essentially small, imperceptible differences in the fish-eye effect of the lens... Add in some candid shots taken on (probably) a 40mm-55mm lens and you can imagine how fuzzy this starts to get.

 

And on that note, are you able to specify the focal length of your viewport to match (or best guess) the source image? I don't really know Blender(?) that well.

The situation you might find yourself running into is that you could spend hours matching all the contours of one photo perfectly, only to have them distort contours that you'd already matched to an earlier image.

[Robin Baker]

Hello, TheCaptn, I know. All the errors will be corrected by final touch ?. Also if the picture was shot at long enough distance the error is not significant. Everything have errors in it. It's still way better than using the artist's eye to sculpt ?. And in important renders I always use parallel projection, infinite focal for accuracy.

[Robin Baker]

Hello, today I will change the final target picture to the Underworld version. I still can't confirm the lenses distortion in previous final target picture but I guess she looks more attractive in Underworld.

Hello, update, it will take very long, patience is the key ? ? ?

Kate Beckinsale is always beautiful ? ( ? ), I wish she be happy and healthy forever. I haven't wished for anyone else like that before ( ? ). She is my queen and my princess ...

Today I use Quiet's hair and RE6 Helena's hair. I adjusted base lines to make improvement.

 

Sharing this makes me happy:

Outstanding, thanks. 

[Robin Baker]

You are welcome! ?

[Robin Baker]

Hello, today let's see if I can do the make up ?. And polycount must increase where it needs.
