Weeeelll......

You need LOTS of patience.

Forget about the face room. I have yet to see a good likeness made with it, even though I do think the technology has potential.

What I do first is to create a reference pic on a remapped square. Its much more convenient than setting the pic as the background, because you can literally line up the head with the pic.

Then I use a combination of default morphs as well as magnets to change the head.
Magnets are imortant because Vickys default morphs dont really change the bone structure of the head.

Its a tedious process: Spin dials, adjust magnets, spawn morph target, reset head, set new morph to "1", and start over again untill you happy.
Finally, when Im close, I export he head to Wings to do little adjustments I cant do with magnets.

But as I said, it takes a lot of patience. A good "clone" can take weeks to complete, and you still might find things youre not happy with.
