Enjoy, all y'all who didn't get to toy with the beta! For the sake of clarity, I will also do a follow-up guide to this video where I will be doing a directly recorded walkthrough step by step of how to create faces. It won't be as crisp as this guide but it will be slower paced and easier to follow for those who struggle with the snappy style of this tutorial. Nonetheless, I hope these tips prove useful and if you have any tips of your own to add, feel free to write them below!
When Derf releases a video, that's how you know it's a good day. I will never stop being Derf's number one fan, he's just good for those who like Hero Forge
Now there are sliders on the face posing section for the whole face poses, meaning you can take a previously unusable cartoon-like frown and tone it down or even mix it with other face poses to make it look more natural. It's not perfect but it's a good starting point for learning P.S: I completely agree with you on double modeling slowly becoming obsolete. Kitbashing will be the final nail on its coffin, I hope we see some of it before the year's end
A cruel reminder of how much I suck at making hero forge models. Subbed. Thanks a million for the tips on this channel. Maybe one day I’ll get better at it.
Man, I cannot wait to see what people will make of this, considering what they were capable of before, with horn hair, double modelling, and the likes. All of that combined with these new features will lead to some insane creations.
I am very grateful for this video, I was afraid this would make hero forge less enjoyable because all my characters look slightly off or I couldn't edit them but now I am very hopeful that this will make it better. thanks for the video
This update is a killer. I'm having so much fun with it. I just expected some face customisation here and there, but this is nuts. And the new expressions are gold. All in all, kudos to the HF team. I can't wait for more videos from yours truly after that. B)
Great video, very educational and explanatory. I personally prefer to directly change the faces instead of using the sliders, due to my sheer laziness.
I wanted to say that I really appreciate sky castle for adding some anthro faces to the face customizer roster. I have an anthro model that I constantly tweak and work on (It is literally my pfp) and when FC dropped, I couldn't use it on him because the anthro faces looked so bad and their posing was weird. Sky Castle added them to FC and now I can actually properly use it on Arlon without it looking wonky and horrible
The Forehead can actually allow for some fun tweaks and edits to hair, if you want your chratcers to have a French Wig (you know the ones im talking about).
I personally find one of the best ways to try and learn how to use the face customiser is to try and recreate some celebrities face. You know 100% what the face should look like in the end, and by the time your finished you should've intereacted with most, if not all the features.
I didn't know about amount. (damn it). I might have to do some method rethinking here. So in effect 3 levels of control. Base face. Individual parts; and how much you change them in-between base AND individual. Then tweaks. Ok cool got it.
Cool tutorial, I really need to make a few characters just for fun, too bad I currently don't have any group to play with, or else it would be spending hours trying to make the perfect look
Next ideas that Hero Forge should add is concerning some hairstyles and outfits: Hair: •Symmetrical Bob (Resembles asymmetrical bob but it’s symmetrical) Clothing: •V Neck Sweater in the Over section of Chest •Cropped Tank Top •Vest/Waistcoat in Over section of Chest •Stockings •Varsity Jacket •M65 Jacket (Both normal and cropped) Gear: •Uzi/Mac10/TMP •Spas-12 •M4 Carbine
I seriously wish I could afford Pro. I only got to use Face Customizer once on a Yuan-Ti bard before my subscription ran out. It was so cool to mess around with and I'd love to go back to my older models and play around with their faces.
@@Derfholm Oh! Sweet! There are still some things about Pro I miss, like organizing my models by categories and the decals, but if FC is out for everyone, then great!
Yo Derf, could you do a video down the line where you sculpt some celebrities? I didn't have access to the beta and just tried to make myself as practice for basing faces on celebrities, and failed epically. Sculpting real people is very difficult
Honestly I've been debating trying it out and I won't rule it out, but I find that- even as versatile as this system is, it is very difficult to do accurate crossovers from real life faces to HF faces and it usually turns out looking quite cursed. We'll see!
alright, thanks for the reply. if it isn't feasible that's fair. makes me feel better about failing to make my own face lol. if it is though, it'd be cool@@Derfholm
So I'm very new to this hobby and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good beginner video or even just a good place to start out? This all seems very daunting so anything would be great, thanks in advance
I doubt it I'm afraid, but my suggestion would be to really just embrace it and make the most of it. The system is overwhelming to begin with but once you get the hang of it, nothing you made before will look comparable
Is there a way to copy a custom face to edit characters designed before the release of the Face Customizer, ot is it more simple to add the character with the customized face as an extra in the scene and copy the values of the body and clothes?
Does anyone know if we're still able to order our old Mini's if we dont port them over to the new face customiser? I olan to uodate a few of mine but dont really want to go through uodating every single one.
As soon as a phone double models face customizer everything crashes lol, as a mobile user I gotta work around it fast, cuz if I don’t delete one of the faces and save before it clashes, I can’t open the model through mobile anymore lol
Tjena min svenske vän! Det här är inte riktigt en fråga om FC men jag var nyfiken på om du gör privat ”coaching” för Hero Forge? Du får nog frågor om hjälp konstant.

Must agree.

Sadly heads like the Lizardfolk don't have the the new face poses yet
@@Scalesthelizardwizard Vulpine Head too

My favourite OC changed so much when I opened him this morning. I'm really trying to get him back, this video will definitely help.
Man, I cannot wait to see what people will make of this, considering what they were capable of before, with horn hair, double modelling, and the likes.
All of that combined with these new features will lead to some insane creations.
Another wonderfully helpful video from my favorite TH-camr.
FINALLY! IT IS HERE!
I am very grateful for this video, I was afraid this would make hero forge less enjoyable because all my characters look slightly off or I couldn't edit them but now I am very hopeful that this will make it better.
thanks for the video
Ah finally and thx for the guide, Derf! Love it
Thankyouthankyou yourself
This update is a killer. I'm having so much fun with it. I just expected some face customisation here and there, but this is nuts. And the new expressions are gold.
All in all, kudos to the HF team. I can't wait for more videos from yours truly after that. B)
Do you think you could eventually do some template handouts for common expressions and "face types" like you did for your color and posing guides?
Yeah sure!
That honestly be great, hard to make face of want, whether be realistic or anime base faces, it is hard to get all right!!!
I hope neck options will be added next. Make them longer, shorter, slimmer, or thicker.
Great video, very educational and explanatory. I personally prefer to directly change the faces instead of using the sliders, due to my sheer laziness.
It’s finally here!!! Thanks for the great guide!

I always love when you post guides, helps a lot for new users
The Forehead can actually allow for some fun tweaks and edits to hair, if you want your chratcers to have a French Wig (you know the ones im talking about).
I tried a few times when this thing first came out and finally just decided to wait until you came out with a video to try and figure it out, lol
Hero Forge is my life! Thanks for showing this video! ^^
0:54 How many of you instantly thought Big Chill after seeing that pupil option?
This is A LOT, but useful indeed…tomorrow I will dive into this new world
Another wonderful guide from the man himself!!!

I seriously wish I could afford Pro. I only got to use Face Customizer once on a Yuan-Ti bard before my subscription ran out. It was so cool to mess around with and I'd love to go back to my older models and play around with their faces.
You don't need to! On the day that this video came out, they released FC for everyone. You can go wild all you want now for free
@@Derfholm Oh! Sweet! There are still some things about Pro I miss, like organizing my models by categories and the decals, but if FC is out for everyone, then great!
god this is very overwhelming and im not even on heroforge atm im currently playing satisfactory and im like ooh god im getting overwhealmed haha

alright, thanks for the reply. if it isn't feasible that's fair. makes me feel better about failing to make my own face lol. if it is though, it'd be cool@@Derfholm
Time to remake all of my models today…
So I'm very new to this hobby and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good beginner video or even just a good place to start out? This all seems very daunting so anything would be great, thanks in advance
Do you think there's a way to revert the update's effects?
I doubt it I'm afraid, but my suggestion would be to really just embrace it and make the most of it. The system is overwhelming to begin with but once you get the hang of it, nothing you made before will look comparable
I just got pro yesterday mainly for face customizer cause I was tired of waiting lol
OOF
I started Pro last summer to get the fish and fishing pole models a week early so I could make dumb fishing memes with my campaign villains.
Is there a way to copy a custom face to edit characters designed before the release of the Face Customizer, ot is it more simple to add the character with the customized face as an extra in the scene and copy the values of the body and clothes?
Does anyone know if we're still able to order our old Mini's if we dont port them over to the new face customiser? I olan to uodate a few of mine but dont really want to go through uodating every single one.
this is AMAZING!!
What features (nose in particular) did you use on the dark skinned model?
Oh sht... time to get back to it I guess
I'd love a tutorial on less human features. I'm trying to give my firbolg a wide, flat almost feline nose like the Na'vi, but it keeps mutilating it.
I second this!
Hey derf I think you should make a video on how to make the torso and legs of a miniature wrinkly and old looking
As soon as a phone double models face customizer everything crashes lol, as a mobile user I gotta work around it fast, cuz if I don’t delete one of the faces and save before it clashes, I can’t open the model through mobile anymore lol
Will this mean making lizardmen's face structuring look more intimidating now that we can manipulate the skull?
I want modern tips for my soldiers i also like making power armor i use the the rifles and usually cover all the body
WE GOT IT *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
Thanks for your tutorials derf. Big help to us new non pro users. Keep doing cool stuff
The area behind the cheeks keeps indenting and nothing can fix it.
Tjena min svenske vän! Det här är inte riktigt en fråga om FC men jag var nyfiken på om du gör privat ”coaching” för Hero Forge? Du får nog frågor om hjälp konstant.
Ja jo. Jag gör det inte just nu, men jag funderar på sätt att öppna upp för det. Vi får se i framtiden!
0:32 Derf, doesn’t your gf play FF?
Sssh don't tell her
