Which G2/G3 Character is Best for Creating a Likeness of Someone

I used to use Poser some years back and I recall Victoria 4 as being extremely controllable, as to be able to create a very good likeness of someone.. I just started using Daz Studio and I am wondering which of the Genesis 2 or 3 models is the most morphable? Which has the most controls? Like to make the eyes closer together and so on... I have tried the newer G3 models, but I find that the morphs which are available seem very limited within the "Parameters" window.. Can anyone suggest something?  A character or a tip I might be un-aware of to get more customizable control?

 

Thank you for taking the time..

Steve

    If you're just dialing morphs than the G3 characters because they have more polygons in the face. As a guide you could use the demo version of FaceGen Artist Pro and then use the morph dial in DAZ Studio Genesis 3 character to see how close you can get to that.

    You'll have an easier time of getting acturate geometric results if you turn off the textures so the the models appear all grey or white.

    When you say turn off textures,, do you mean in facegen or Daz??

    I'm not sure what you mean - the bases (Genesis 2/Genesis 3) are the models, the named characters (Victoria, Michael etc.) are shapes for them. Both sets of bases have a wide range of morph sets available which add the detailed shaping controls for making your own characters.

    The Genesis 2s have a few more options than the Genesis 3s.

    Turn off the textures in both FaceGen Artist Demo and the Genesis 3 characters. You can see the true shape of the face better that way versus the painted on shape via textures and maps which doesn't always match exactly the underlying geometry. You'll probably have an easier time dialing in the morphs in Genesis 3 if you buy the face morphs for Genesis 3. There is a set for male & female.

    And by the way, if you own a recent version of Poser, it comes with FaceGen technology licensed for you to use in their Face Room.
