Hey guys,
I'm new here. Sorry if this ain't the right place to post. I need some help here. Can someone tell me what software might be the best to create a human head. An example would be here.

Can you draw? Or are you expecting a program to do it all for you? Either option would be difficult. If you can draw, then Xara Designer Pro 7 is an excellent application.
Agree with Gary, if you're looking to draw it in 2D use Xara Pro 7. You can get the 3D effect with a little effort. If you want 3D try one of the freebies before you go out and drop big bucks on software. Blender is a good freebie.
Hey guys,
Thanks for your heads up. Basically i remembered back in the day, a friend of mine used to use a program that specifically deals with rendering 3D humans, not sure if it was bryce or something. I was thinking of rendering both the human head and brain, exporting it and opening in photoshop or fireworks to do further editing.
Thing is, this image is on a black background after transparent effect was applied. I need to make the black background white instead. Therein lies the problem and reason why i need to re-do it from scratch. Can Xara Design help me in that?
Thanks guys for all the advice.

like this?
For 3D rendering of human form you can use Poser or DAZ 3D. Both have a learning curve so it can take some time before you could achieve what you are wanting to accomplish.
Gary and Gray have suggested an excellent alternative to the 3D software. The learning curve for Xara Designer is not steep and you may be able to accomplish what you need in a very short time.
Wow Handrawn! That is exactly what i wanted. How did you do that?

Hi
by using a photoshop plugin filter 'eliminate black'
there are some artifacts on the result - due to it being a low res jpg
assuming you have good quality images to work on it should be ok
you can get it here [an probably elsewhere too]:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multime...te-Black.shtml
once you've placed it in your plugins filter folder it will show up as transparency > eliminate black
works in photoshop, xara designer [which I used] and other graphics programs that can use PS filters
one thing - if you use it in photoshop you need to promote the layer ["Eliminate Black can only be applied on layers"] - it will not take on the background layer [normal for such filters]
Hi Steve,
That is very enlightening, thank you very much. Did what you said, and pasted it in corel draw for retrace. Then brought it back in fireworks. Here is the result. Any idea how i can improve it from here of you think this is the best that can be done with this image?
Thank you everyone.

Doesn't "The best that can be done" depend on what you want the image to communicate?Quote:

-Xyber.
do you need the end result in vector format - I ask that because you mention you traced it in coreldraw, this eliminate black method is maybe best suited to a raster output
Yes, if i have the vector format, i can totally eliminate the black background and any other unwanted noises from the image. But it becomes distorted of sorts as you can see in my latest submission. Any ideas?
Thanks y'all.
-Xyber.
if the plugin does not do a good enough job in itself, I'd redraw it
trouble with bitmap trace on an image like this is that to get quality you will need an awful lot of shapes, and they will likely not be easy to clean up, by which time you might as well have redrawn it
xyber, you mentioned this image as an example of the kind of 3D head you'd like to create, yet the latest parts of the thread are all about getting the best possible transformation of the image. I think you'd need to get permission from the original artist to proceed this way, since we seem to be moving from inspiration to direct derivative.
agreed
Well guys,
Actually i purchased this royalty-free stock image and if i am not selling it, i do not spot anything in the license agreement that i am not allowed to make changes. And besides, the main reason why i bought it in the first place is to tweak it to my needs right? Where's the problem in that?
Also Steve, i guess what i'm trying to do is to recreate this in my own style with a white background, that's what it is i guess. But i'm not very skillful at it which is perhaps why i am looking for ways to still make it possible...
-Xyber.
Xyber, until you explained your use of the image, anything could have been the case. A lot of people just grab stuff off the net thinking that's OK.
Quite honestly, i do not see your concern in this matter. You and many others here, can choose to reply or not to reply to my request. Plainly straight, i bought this royalty free image from a stock gallery and i am intending to use it in my marketing for my company. I am not reselling it or making it available for people to use.Quote:

- I am asking for help to find a way to change this image to the way i want it and not for resale
- With the methods and ways to come out with something similar, there is surely quite different outcome.
Please explain clearly what you beef is with me or my request to point me in the right direction. Thank you.
-Xyber.
xyber, I have no beef with you. Calm down. You've completely misread my comment as some kind of criticism.
