Facegen: To Vam

Hey everyone! I’ve been experimenting with to bring real-life likenesses into VaM. Since VaM is built on the Genesis 2 Female (G2F) architecture, the results can be incredibly accurate if you follow the right steps. My Workflow: Generate the head in FaceGen using the G2F export target.

To make this morph usable inside Virt-A-Mate, you must save it as an asset: Go to File > Save As > Support Asset > Morph Asset(s) . Select your custom FaceGen morph from the menu.

: For the best results in VR, export your textures from FaceGen at or higher if your hardware allows. Fixing "Sharp Edges"

Even after importing, you will likely need to fine‑tune your character inside VAM:

Apply the textures generated by FaceGen to the Daz model. facegen to vam

Change the to a custom path so you can find it easily (e.g., Actor/Head/People/FaceGen ).

: Using one or more photos to automatically map facial geometry.

Use the function from the reference mesh to the new FaceGen head mesh. This automatically copies vertex groups for the neck, head, jaw, and eyes.

Load one front-facing photo and up to two profile photos into FaceGen's tool. Hey everyone

Place the landmark indicators precisely on the eyes, nose, mouth, and chin as prompted.

Ensure your source photos are evenly lit to avoid baked-in shadows, which look bad in VAM's dynamic lighting.

Go to File -> Export . Choose OBJ as the file format. Export Options: Ensure "Texture map" is enabled (choose PNG or JPG). Select "Include symmetry" if needed. Set the "Background" to transparent or a neutral color. Save Output: Export the mesh ( ) and the texture map ( ) to a folder. Phase 2: Converting FaceGen to VAM Compatible Mesh VaMcap V a cap M
