I then subdivided the mesh to subdiv level 7 and proceeded to create layers to apply the various levels of skin details from the VFace multi-displacement texture pack. References of real faces, face sculpts, and scans were valuable for achieving the desired appearance. I then subdivided the mesh and manually sculpted secondary details, including eye corner forms and underlying bony and cartilaginous forms in the brows, forehead, nose, jaw, and chin. This provided a clean topology with optimal edge flow. This allowed me to use bigger eyes and slightly different proportions, but not as much as Disney princesses.Īfter finishing the initial dynamesh sculpt, I used ZWrap to apply the geometry of a VFace head model from the TexturingXYZ website. However, during reference gathering and considering the nature of the concept, I decided to go with a semi-realistic look for the face, similar to the Alita: Battle Angel movie.

Initially, I focused on creating a fully realistic character.
