Tutorial: Lookalike Faces in Daz3D and Hexagon

This 18 page, 8000 word tutorial with screenshots walks you through the process of developing a high quality facial lookalike in Daz3D and Hexagon. The concepts will transfer to a certain extent to other programs. It assumes basic Daz3D skills and basic Hexagon skills (manipulation of faces, lines and vertices with the universal manipulator only). The logistics of morphing for both Generation 4 and Genesis are covered, and so is the management of your presets in your content library for ease of everyday use. The primary application here is celebrity lookalikes, but it also lends itself to more general crafting of realistic faces.
