Facetransfer + good materials = interesting results
As the skins generated by the Facetransfer plugin are very problematic, I started to experiment with some of the geometries generated by the plugin with good materials (skins) from characters I own applied. I can say that the results are surprisingly good! OK, not all the facetransfer geometries work (some are terrible), but the good ones allow for the creation of very interesting, new, characters, although they don't resemble the original picture, as 80% of the resemblance come from the skin.
I'm attaching a few examples below. Please note that I made zero effort to light the scenes, as I should be sleeping for a few hours by now. ;-) It's just a click-and-render, frontal HDRI to see how the characters look.
