🕑 Added 2021-06-03 18:24:25 +0000 UTCThe Scarlett Johansen or Keira Knightley look (like all looks from VecTerror and others) where done with this program. Of course they did some modelling too ingame or with blender, but for now we try this. And if i can i make another Blender tutorial! :o)
You can do your own celebrity look in 3-5 minutes, it is not complicated and very easy.
Let us start:
Step 1
At first you just need get this program called "FaceGen Artist" you can download a free trail here.
After downloading and installing it, start it.
Step 2 (Picture 1)
Click at the first tab "Create", and then click on the first tab below called "Photo".
Here you choose a photo of your celebrity or yourself? You only need a front picute, the others only needed for the program to create a head, but such head we don't need.
Step 3 (Picture 1)
After loading your picture of the face inside FaceGen Artist, it will show up, and then klick next!
Step 4 (Picture 3)
Now just take a look at the tutorial image, it shows a little X inside the eye, now you just left click into the left eye of your image, we have loaded before.
Now just follow all those tutorial, and make the marks at the same spot as the preview picture shows you.
Step 5 (Picture 4)
After you're done, simply click on the "Create" Button and wait will the progress is finished.
Step 6 (Picture 5, Picture 6)
You see, the face at the left side changed it's appearance to the pictures one.
Now click the following tabs as highlighted in the picture.
File -> Export -> Genesis 2 -> Female.
Here you should choose a "Parameter Name" like "My Celebrity".
Make sure you won't forget the path, where it will export the textures to, wich is shown there.
Also make sure now, that you've checked the "Default (V5 Bree)".
After this click export!
Go to the files and copy them, or drag them into the following folder, so Virt a Mate finds them:
"VirtaMateRoot\Custom\Atom\Person\Textures"
You also could create subfolders here if you wan't and paste the textures inside those.
Step 7 (Picture 7)
All you need to do now is starting VAM, choose the default scene or another, it doesen't make sense. You just need a plain and new atom in the scene.
Select this atom, then klick "show root" at the upper left corner of the UI.
Step 8 (Picture 8, Picture 9 and Picture 10)
Now click the "Skin Textures" Tab. There you see "Diffuse" and also Face, Torso, Limbs and Gens.
Click the "Select" Button for every texture and goto the folder where you've saved your textures. Choose for Head the Head texture, for Torso the Torso and for Limbs of course the Lims texture. For Gens choose also the Torso texture.
And that is all, now you've created and applied your textures to the Atom.
You can now start to use the VAM Sliders (Female Morphs Tab) to create the face of your Celebrity.
And don't forget to save your look!
If you have any questions or issues, let me know!

Hm i really have no idea why it creates this DSON file, i can not image that the free version does this without any notification. Maybe i should do another Tutorial and see if this works, maybe i forget something to tell you because i did set it up eariler, maybe its just an option wich is checked at my end. I will look at it.
i did some searching with a bit more enthusiasm and found it. It was made by Rukk: https://www.patreon.com/posts/tali-29979654

When i get to step 6 and click export, there are no Textures for face, skin, or anything. Just a file single unzippable DSF DSON Support File. Which i cant get VAM to open or recognize. Any help?

It only applies a face to the textures, and it uses the textures from DAZ Studio. Face, Torso and Limbs. If you have a picture of Talis face then you could use this to create the face for VAM, at least the textures. But someone already made a good Tali, but not so good clothes. I can't find the Tali he made, but if i find it i will give you the link here, its very well done, at least the skin and character, but i diddn't wan't to see her face at all lol.
nice one! too bad it won't work with Tali from ME lol or will it? =O
