The process of transferring faces from to Virt-A-Mate (VaM) is a popular workflow for creating highly realistic, custom 3D characters based on real-world photographs .

This is where beginners fail. FaceGen exports a texture that is to its generated mesh. But VaM uses a different UV layout (the map of where the texture sits on the 3D model). FaceGen acts as a "shortcut
