This is a strange request but here is the delima.My niece is a wrestling fan and asked me to make an image of her favorite wrestler Mickie James. The problem is I suck at trying to using morph dials on Victoria characters to get even close to anything realistic looking. I seen around people done pretty good looking face morphs of famous type people and not sure exactly how they do it but if someone has a good idea how I can accoplish this or would like to help me shape the face I would greatly appreciate it. Not sure if there a good program out there to help with or not, the problem I see with program is most images you can find on the net are small and not a good straight forward normal emotion type shot so not sure if a program would help me.
Again I would really appreciate any help I can get on it, I would normally come out an ask for help like this, as I know a lot of people are busy with their own projects and that's understandable to me but like I said its for my niece who I would do anything for so thats why im asking.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

There is a thread on Faceshop on this forum you might want to have a look at: mixed reviews on that one. The other option I've been playing with is doing the morphs myself by hand in Blender3D. But then, I'm masochistic... lol

This is the link that Robynswell was referring to.

However, the conclusion drawn from this discussion simply boils down that there is no easy program out there right now that can 100% give you instant celebrity face morph. The only one that comes relatively close is FaceGen (link found within the post above). The program is steeply priced and you must follow the site tutorial to generate the necessary character templates for morphtarget conversions.

Thanks for the info guys, I just read through all that forum thread on Faceshop vs Facegen and seems facegen from Deecey results seemed best but yes to pricey for me at the moment. So I guess If someone out there that has the program and would like to help me out and generate the morph Im lookng for Im willing to pay for their time if they would like.
I will say this after reading up on this and those that actually use other programs other then facegen and faceshop to remodel or whatever to create these morphs I have a much much higher respect for the results they get. Anyways thanks again for the information guys it was very helpful.**

She wanted me to do something like the following picture except with a ring and all, I have ring models just need the figure shape now.

Ok, but she's a model who wrestles, not a wrestler.

There hasn't been any program made that does a half decent job. Save your money **CStrauss.
