Photo and Model Comparison

Here are some comparison shots of my reference photos and the model itself. I was quite happy with the model's resembelance to myself, but now that I have placed them side by side like this for the first time, I can see quite a few differences which have annoyed me slightly.

There were some unavoidable changes, such as the difference in the size of the ears and head. This was down to the the distance that I was standing from the camera when I was getting my photos taken. Apart from these, there are 3 other obvious differences that I can see that I am a little unhappy about - the hair, eyes and nose.

The hair couldnt really be helped. The way thst I chose to model the hair as to simply slap it on as part of the face material, meaning that it would appear to be flat. I could have either modeled the hair seperately by creating another shape and merging it with my head, or just used the hair modifier tool. However, I thought that I could get away with just keeping the hair as part of the face material as my hair is usually quite flat anyway. The model just makes it look like ive just come out of the shower. The hair modifier, as good as it is, take up a lot of memory so I would rather not spend hours trying to perfect my hair. Maybe if I had more time I would have given it a go.

The eyes turned out to be a little too small and not angled correctly. Not to mention the fact that they look a little odd due to the lack of eyelashes. I am a little annoyed about this because when I was following my reference photos, it looked as though I had matched the eyes up perfectly. I guess not!

The nose looks a little skinnier than it should be. This would have been an easy fix had I noticed this before, but now that the texture has been applied, if i edit the model it would mess up the texture. I would rather not have to re-do the UVW unwrap as it took such a long time.

I know that it was unlikely to get a perfect 3D depiction of my head, especially as it was my first go at doing something like this. Its just annoying thinking that it looks just like me, only to see that actually there are some noticable differences.... however, as negative as this all probably sounds, I am still very happy with the end results!
