hello, I have recently been trying to create my first ever character. I am very new to this and have no idea what im doing.

thank you yall so much. i finally got something i can work with by separateing the scalp > adding fur > adding assets and changing paremters. the only problem is that i cant edit the geometry nodes derectly, but thats a problem i can troubleshoot.

It’s not that bad. [image] Portraits of Simon Finished Projects After a long hiatus creating realistic portraits it feels great to be back at it! The last time I tried it I was compositing Blender Internal’s subsurface scattering with Cycles’ reflections…so yeah, it’s bee…
