Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1

Take high-resolution photos (2000 pixel minimum) of your subject in a well-lit area. Have the subject look directly into the camera with a straight face and closed lips. Hold the camera at subject level and zoom in. Take ten head and side shots each.

Step2

Upload the pictures into your computer and start your photo manipulation software. Select "Enhance," "Adjust Lightning" and "Shadows/Highlights." Use the slide bar to improve the images.

Step3

Choose "Enhance/Adjust Colors" and then "Adjust Hue/Saturation." Slide the Hue, Saturation and Lightness controls to improve the photos. Spend only five minutes per photo. It is better to retake photos than to spend hours performing software tweaks.

Step4

Inspect the photos. Discard pictures where the model's features don't show up because of shadows or if they have too much light. Using these images create distorted Poser texture maps.

Step5

Choose the best front and side photos. Compare them for tonal quality. Poser reads information from the two photos shaping the model and creating a texture map. Perform final adjustments if necessary. Exit photo manipulation software. Start Poser, choose a G2 model and load the photos into the Face Room.
