Everybody here is missing the point. You can twist my arm and scream "This is Jennifer Garner!!!!" and maybe I'll nod and say "ummm, yah ok I guess." but the real test is if you showed one of these pics to somebody and said "who does this look like?". chances are they'll have a lot of guesses and none of them will be Jennifer Garner. I don't mean to be critical, this is hard work and I admire everybody's enthusiasm and effort. But you have to be honest about your results and admit that you're falling short of a true clone. The key to cloning is matching the texture to the mesh and not the other way around, as is usually the case in 3D art. This isn't just about pasting somebody's pic onto a UV template and then morphing the face. The face mesh has to conform to the picture, otherwise the original facial structure is lost. You can sit there all day twiddling dials but it'll never add up. Trying to make V3 look like a somebody real is like trying to sculpt stone with your bare hands, it just ain't gonna happen. IMHO the clone jobs that I've done with CeeBee are the best in the poser community. I've included this picture as a sample or you can view the Linda Carter pic in my gallery. I'd clone Ms.Alias myself but its not worth my time or effort. I've got to agree with Mason, she's got a face like a truck driver.
