I reconstruct a face of an ancient italian using the data of an points cloud. The method used was Manchester. I bought a book describing the process of Manchester method, the book is “Forensic Facial Reconstruction” (Wilkinson). I bought to a book of facial anathomy to complement the information about the muscles.

The Manchester metho is a half American and a half Russian methods of facial reconstruction, cause use tissue data with reconstruction of the muscles.

Skull Data: Arc Team ( http://arc-team-open-research.blogspot.com )

Softs and OS: Bundler (points cloud), MeshLab (import and convert points to a mesh), Blender 3D to model de muscles, Inkscape (to study the soft tissue) and Gimp (to make the textures). Ubuntu 12.04.

Good work! Face topology OK. I like the base skull and face muscle. Hair it’s not look natural. Final this project it’s good for modeling reference. :slight_smile:
