However, *columbo mode* There's just one thing that bothers me. I keep reading comments from folks saying "nobody could sculpt something that accurately" or "nobody could capture those asymetries so closely"
erm, yes they could. Maybe not me but I've been fortunate to be in the company of many a fine sculpter in my time, mostly while doing my degree, so not prop based but fine art based. traditional sculpting I suppose.
I've seen somone sculpt a bust of a fellow artist and it was uncanny. Every subtle nuance captured, simply amazing. She worked from photos and had the subject sit for her. Now we're basing our arguments on the capturing of asymetry. The trooper helmet is rather clumsy and obvious in its asymetry compared to the asymetry of the human face and head so for people to be able to say it cant be done is bit arrogant isnt it?
Precisely my point.
It definitely can be done.
And again, all the comparisons posted here have no scientific value.
We need a fixed camera, virgin faceplates (no holes), a rig to block the faceplates in the same position, fixed light. Take pics from front, side and top, overlay in photoshop with difference, check and post results. I'll be happy to do that for you, someone please PM me to sell me a TE2 faceplate, I already have a virgin TM.
I'll post overlayed pics and original ones, so everybody can replicate the overlay and chech in the original pic's properties that those come directly from the camera and are not edited.
