I also tend to lower the ears for cartoon characters. Therefore, I always scale up the size of the head for emphasis.Д«ecause The Biker is a large, intimidating character, I also increased the scale of the hands and feet. For the purpose of this tutorial, I have used the Ogre comic face and will morph it to create a tough looking biker.Д®ven though the finished biker artwork will have a high level of realism, we still want the character itself to have a cartoon feel.

Now you can begin to use the Character Creator morph sliders to customize the look of your character, down to the most intricate detail. For this tutorial I have used the вЂњbrownвЂќ eyes. The first thing I do when the comic face is applied is to remove the hair from the model (we can add that later) and replace the pencil sketched eyes with eyes provided within Character Creator, which have a lot more detail and give your figure more realism.

Since we are going to work on modifying the facial features first, hit the вЂњJвЂќ hotkey to bring the face up full screen. For this tutorial I have applied the face to the base male model, which we will make adjustments to, to create the body shape we need for The Biker. Now that you have your face rigged as a 3D head model, you can drag and drop the RL head file directly on to the CC base male or female model in Character Creator. STEP 3: MORPHING THE FACE IN CHARACTER CREATOR PNG texture file as your new Diffuse texture setting. PNG file and then in iClone 6, select the head mesh of your character and open the edited.

In Photoshop you can edit the face texture so that the outer edges blend smoothly with the skin textures of the CT8 head model. Next, launch the face texture from the Modify window. Note that these CT8 generated heads will only work with CC base model characters, and not with G6 characters, or previous generation characters. Open iClone 6, and simply drag and drop the head on to an iClone 6 Character Creator (CC) base model character. Once you have your rigged 3D head in CrazyTalk 8, then you can export the RL Head. I find the Character Creator eyes give more realism to the character. Use multiply to darken colors and use overlay and color to lighten colors.Дraw the eyeball separate and keep the eye socket blank, so that you can later choose to either use the pencil sketched eyeball or one of the more realistic eyes that come standard with Character Creator.

I apply most layers as вЂњmultiply,вЂќ вЂњoverlayвЂќ and вЂњcolorвЂќ layers to get the best results. Starting with the lightest colors, begin to build up the color on the face.

Set the duplicate layer at 40% color burn, and then add all other layers in between these two, so that the pencil lines always stay on top of the color and donвЂ™t get lost. Take the original pencil sketch (layer 1) and duplicate it (layer 11). It is important to build the color in separate layers, so that you can always work backwards or make adjustments to individual layers without affecting the overall image. The original pencil sketch is scanned in to Photoshop and then I start to build the color. Take the tips and advice you can from this tutorial and apply your own ideas and ways of doing things. As this is a creative process, there are certainly other ways to do this, this is just my way. This article is not so much a technical guide as a behind-the-scenes look at the way I create my art. In this tutorial, however, IвЂ™ll take you through the process and show you how I use the comic faces to create 3D characters for finished artwork stills. Your custom characters can then be exported to iClone 6 for lighting, posing and rendering and are also ready for animation. The limitless possibilities for these faces really becomes apparent when you apply them to the base models in Character Creator, where you can use the morph sliders to create an infinite number of characters from each face.
