Reallusion has released Headshot 3.0, the new version of its plugin for Character Creator that generates 3D heads from photos. The update brings a more accurate AI model, trained with facial scans of diverse ages and ethnicities. Additionally, it now allows creating a full body from reference images and adds a text-to-image generator as an optional add-on.
New AI model and manual geometry editing ðŸ§
The core of Headshot 3.0 is an improved AI model that analyzes reference photos to reconstruct facial shape with greater fidelity. The plugin includes tools for manually editing geometry and textures, allowing precise adjustments after automatic generation. The AI Image Generator add-on, sold separately, allows creating or modifying source images via text, expanding input options for the character generation system.
From photo to character without having to model a single eyebrow ðŸŽ
Now anyone can generate a complete 3D character just by uploading a few photos. Forget spending hours adjusting topology or painting textures by hand. The new AI model does the dirty work for you, though some traditional modeling purists are surely already looking for arguments to defend artisanal suffering. If you also add the text-to-image generator, you can create characters without having a single real photo. Creative laziness has never had so many tools at its disposal.
