i'll just list off the tutorials i referenced. these are on cgpeers:

>Yiihuu.com - Creating an Advanced Cinematic Character - Vagrant Knight [English]
>overall workflow + basemesh

this is in chinese but if you just want one tutorial this will take you through the whole process this is it.

i mostly just used it to see the maya/zbrush exchange workflow + the intro to mari

the hair workflow here is actually pretty decent i think (first time i'm grooming so i'm not really sure what's wrong or right yet).

the skin albedo/diffuse is imo using the wrong resources here. there are proper albedo maps available now so i used those instead. he doesn't really do a roughness map either and i think his subsurface map methodology is probably wrong as well.

for shading skin in arnold my only reference is arvid scheinder on youtube.

>Scott Eaton - Portraiture & Facial Anatomy
watch this. i'm going to go watch it again.

>Gumroad – Xgen: guide curve based grooming essentials
this guy seems to know what he's doing when it comes to x-gen and has good production credits. there are two other tutorials by the guy available on cgp (search Tarkan Sarim) but they use x-gen interactive vs old x-gen. i have no idea which one i 'should' be using. i might sub to his patreon for a month and just rip all his videos.

>Introduction to Xgen - Jesus Fernandez

i've been meaning to go through these, they look pretty good.


maps used:
>TexturingXYZ – 20s Male Face Textures
>texturingxyz_displace_male_fullface_04 from 'TexturingXYZ – Displacements Collection'

projected in mari. be warned, don't do commercial work with pirated mari. desu i might roll back to their trial license because i don't actually need 8k/udim tile.

rendered in arnold (randomwalk v1 for SSS). first project in ACES colour space as well.
