Hi,
New here and I have been using the 3d print demo version. Anyway, i want to use facegen for 3d portraits or selfies (face only) and print them on my sla/ fdm /sandstone printer. Which facegen would you guys suggest and which version is the best. Also when i export the face from facegen and open it inside the meshmixer, it doesnt look like the images. What sort of post processing should i do once i generate the face in facegen. Can you please demonstrate how to get all of this to work. I want to make something like in the picture i have attached.
regards
darshan

Hi Darshan,
For color 3D printing you'll need FaceGen 3D Print Pro.
Feel free to download the free FaceGen 3D Print Demo and give it a shot. You'll get the same results except with a logo on the forehead, and fewer hairstyles and statues to choose from.
No post-processing should be required. MeshMixer by default uses only ambient light shading so that will look a bit different from in FaceGen, which uses a mix of diffuse and ambient.
Best wishes,

I have tried using the demo, I have attached the original picture (front, i used 3) , a pic on how it looks inside facegen and one inside the rhinoceros 3d software. As you can see its quite different. What am i doing wrong? Can you suggest me a method to get it working.

You need to import the color map file that was exported from the demo.
Most applications do this automatically but i guess Rhino does not.
I don't know how to use Rhino so cannot advise you on that.

How about if I use zbrush? Also the color map is not useful for me since I won't be printing it in color.
Do you have any reference video which you can share. I am ready to use the model inside zbrush and tweak.

Can you help me with the proper workflow for 3d printing face using facegen 3d print pro (no colour needed).

After exporting, your FaceGen 3D Print workflow is done; proceed to your 3D printer software to print.
If you want to sculp details with zbrush, Pixologic offers lots of videos:
