😢 💩 Not to worry, we’ll fix that pronto! When I am done projecting I apply the generated texture as displacement. Or if you’re old-school you could conform the photo reference to the UVs in photoshop/gimp. In zbrush you could use zapplink to do the same.Īlternatively you could use a stencil to project the details but I personally don’t like this workflow. If you’re not sure what I am talking about here is a video that explains it well:
The workflow I use is Blender’s Quick Edit in an external app. I then project photo details on the lips. I’ve include some really good lips images from that site in the package above. Luckily I found an amazing free resource with a very permissive license. It’s always good to be on the safe side of the law tho. With all the editing we’ll do to the image I think almost any image would be OK to use. The easy thing to do is go to google image search and type in whatever you’re looking for. Speaking of reference images… WHERE DO YOU GET GOOD REFERENCES FROM? If you want to follow along here is a 3d model and reference images.Äownload from Dropbox || Download from GDrive I’ll share this base model free in a second. I created a UV layout that emphasizes the lips area. But with lips I think it’s nice to see something that resembles the final result. When creating some types of alphas you could just use a plane mesh. Making skin detail alphas based on photos is challenging because of all the specularity, sss, shadows etc.

So by the end you’ll know how to create high quality alphas (not just lips). In this tutorial I am going to show you how I created my lips alpha pack.
