Need some help making a Genesis 8 figure inspired by Leia Organa from Star Wars.

Hey there, I'm pretty new at using DAZ3D for character modelling, but so far I've found it really seems to be the most purpose-built software out there for that purpose. I've been working on some character models of characters from Star Wars, but I'm running into some trouble getting my figures to look as realistic as their counterparts. For example, my figures of Leia Organa are almost accurate, but not quite, particularly in the face area. I'm using a head model from Battlefront II for comparison, but I would like some help and suggestions about what I can do to achieve her look. My attempts are the model on the left and the one on the right, with DICE's Battlefront II model of Leia (well, her head) in the middle.

    To achieve the appearance of anybody it is recommended to work from reference images, not other 3D models because they are not all quite as perfect as the real McCoy. Look up a good profile image and a good portrait image ... and morph to match what can be accomplished. Look also for a suitable texture to compliment the morph and as you have, the signature hairdo.

    There are also a number of morph packages and Face Transfer and Face Transfer Shapes, etc. in the store to help folk make their characters.

    Of the 3 images posted, I prefer the shiny one on the right as it caught something of 'the look' she could give.
