Designed to bridge\nthe gap between 2D reference and production-ready 3D characters, this\nnext-generation plugin introduces a suite of powerful features, including\nproprietary AI image-to-3D reconstruction, spline-based head shaping, and\nadvanced texture generation.\n\n(https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2966327/image1.html)\n\nTo celebrate the launch, Reallusion is offering an Early Bird special\n(https://reallusion.software/b465b6) , allowing users to secure Headshot 3 at\na significantly discounted rate from now until May 31st, 2026.\n\nWatch the feature video here\n(https://youtu.be/9KSvv1XDFIw?si=UJJrHJ62B3hM_Xgv) .\n\nThe Power of Proprietary AI: High Precision & Worldwide Diversity\n\nHeadshot 3 represents a massive leap in digital identity. Reallusion has\ndeveloped a proprietary AI model specifically for accurate image-to-3D head\nreconstruction. Trained on a vast dataset of high-resolution facial scans,\nthis model interprets facial landmarks, depth cues, and subtle anatomical\nfeatures from 2D images with unprecedented clarity.\n\nComplementing this technology, Facial Feature Presets add essential depth\nstructure and help capture distinctive details that AI may not fully detect\nfrom front-facing images alone. This powerful combination of AI reconstruction\nand precision presets enables highly accurate digital doubles while supporting\ndiverse ethnicities and all age groups, ensuring each digital human faithfully\nreflects its real-world counterpart.\n\nRevolutionary Prompt-to-Image: Make Every Photo a Perfect Shot\n\nIn addition to importing custom photos, Headshot 3 introduces a groundbreaking\nAI Image Generator powered by Google Nano Banana Pro. This integration enables\nartists to generate high-quality, front-facing images from simple text prompts\nor transform their own photos into polished, production-ready results. It also\nprovides precise references for facial profiles and body proportions, ensuring\nan accurate overall likeness.\n\nThe AI further refines your source imagery by automatically adjusting facial\nexpressions to a neutral look, correcting camera angles for a straight-on\nview, balancing lighting, removing stray hairs, and enhancing resolution up to\n4K—providing a flawless foundation for sharper facial texture generation.\n\nUltimate Shape Refinements & Texture Enhancements\n\nTo ensure the digital double matches the subject in physical 3D space,\nHeadshot 3 offers advanced refinement tools that address real-world\nphotography challenges:\n\n * Spline-Based Mesh Shaping: Bezier curves trace facial contours with surgical\nprecision. A key innovation is the fully independent front and side\nadjustments—planar front morphs never alter the depth of side profiles, and\nvice-versa. This system is purpose-built for complex anatomy such as double\neyelids, deep-set eye sockets, or distinct nasolabial folds, all while\nmaintaining perfect CC topology for optimized animation.\n * Intuitive 3D Sculpt Morph System: Optimized for Character Creator 5, this\nsystem allows artists to hover over a control region and adjust the mesh shape\nusing directional mouse movements. This eliminates the need to manually locate\nspecific sliders, streamlining the sculpting process.\n * Post-Lens Correction: To bridge the gap between photography and 3D modeling,\nthe new Face Plane Perspective Slider quickly corrects fisheye distortion\ncommon in smartphone photos, restoring accurate physical proportions.\n * Blend Mask Editing: Achieve seamless integration between generated facial\ntextures and the underlying skin base. Using the mask brush or prebuilt\ntemplates, artists can easily remove unwanted elements projected from the\nsource photo—such as shadows, hair, eyelashes, scars, or lip\nlines—resulting in a clean and cohesive head model.\n * De-lighting & Skin Redness: The de-lighting feature removes uneven shadows\nto produce clean albedo textures, while the skin redness tool restores a\nnatural, healthy tone by correcting color imbalances.\n * Primary & Secondary Normal Generation: Artists now have granular control\nover skin details. The generator extracts two levels of detail: Primary for\nbroader features like muscle definition and deep wrinkles, and Secondary for\nmicro-details such as pores and fine lines.\nComplete Character Integration\n\nHeadshot 3 goes beyond the head to create a Full-Body Digital Double. By\nutilizing full-body reference photos, the AI automatically generates a\nmatching body shape to complement the character's face. Whether the subject is\na child, an athlete, or an elderly individual, the tool provides an instant,\ncohesive character build that is fully rigged and ready for animation within\nthe Character Creator 5 ecosystem.\n\nUltra Value Bonus — Headshot Morph 1400+\n\nAs an exclusive launch incentive, every Headshot 3 purchase includes the\nHeadshot Morph 1400+ Pack (https://reallusion.software/09ddf5) ($99 value) for\nfree. Previously, Headshot Morph 1000+ established itself as the world's most\ncomprehensive facial morph system, designed to achieve the professional detail\nof high-end 3D scan models.\n\nHeadshot Morph 1400+ builds on this foundation with expanded benefits for\nHeadshot 3, adding CC5 HD workflow support, new preset sliders for more\nprecise facial construction, and enhanced sculpt morphs for a more intuitive\nand flexible post-adjustment experience.\n\nEarly Bird Availability\n\nHeadshot 3 (https://reallusion.software/fbaeec) is available now as a powerful\naddition to the Character Creator 5 workflow. Professionals and enthusiasts\nalike are encouraged to take advantage of the Early Bird Offer\n(https://reallusion.software/b465b6) , which runs until May 31st, 2026. This\nlimited-time promotion provides the best value for artists looking to\nintegrate high-efficiency digital double creation into their production\npipelines.\n\nView original content to download\nmultimedia:https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/reallusion-redefines-digital-double-creation-with-the-launch-of-headshot-3-for-character-creator-5-302754179.html\n(https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/reallusion-redefines-digital-double-creation-with-the-launch-of-headshot-3-for-character-creator-5-302754179.html)\n\nSOURCE Reallusion Inc.\n\n\n\nAtilas Wang, Reallusion Inc., +886289121028, atilaswang@reallusion.com, https://www.reallusion.com/\n\nPhoto: \nhttps://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2966327/image1.jpg\n\nCopyright (c) 2026 PR Newswire Association,LLC.
