I've never seen the actual process, Graham, but I see that a high-res human scan goes for around $10 on the web. You can only buy the product; you can't specificity which head you want scanned, although Donald Trump's might go for $2, I think.
I used XenoDream to model the alien seashells, and Maxwell Render to produce the scene. Some people don't feel the rendering engine makes any difference with the final product. I disagree: here's a render out of PIXAR RenderMan in 1995 upper-left, and then basically the same model rendered out of Maxwell Render in 2008. It has nuances, atmosphere, and doesn't exaggerate the specular reflections in plastic or metal:

There's a big difference between those two renders. I'll pass on Trumps head. :)

A Magician selling playing cards
Graeme is a nice, fellow and all that, but he wanted an image-heavy, content-light website, and the creative group I worked with agreed that a lot of Photoshopping Graeme's head on CG bodies would pull the whole site together. And it was fun thinking up and creating all of Graeme's characters:

Re: Your Secret is Safe :)
Hi Gare, I came across one of your tutorials it was logo in the shape of an egg with a couple of ellipses cut out which created an nice shiny "E" shape - I have just upgraded to X11 and would like to try it out but I can't find it! do you have a list of all your tutorials? - Best Regards Geoff H

Links to Xara Xone tutorials
Hi Geoff—
Here is the repository of my video tutorials. Frances Proctor stepped in and has a tutorial on this list, too.
Here is the 2012 to 2015 repository of written tutorials of which there are several guest tutorials written by our talented membership, such as Frances, Bob Taylor, Paul, Rik Datta and others.
Now, these are only links to my stewardship of The Xara Xone; Gary Priester put the original 15+ years into the Xone.
Gary Priester's Xara Xone work.
Geoff, I cannot remember presenting a tutorial with ellipses resulting in an "e" shape. but then again, I usually don't know the day of the week, so if you can't find what you need on either of the top two links, go to Mr. Priester's archive, okay?
