INSPIRED BY FAMOUS TECHNIQUES
Head Model Studio is built on master methodologies used by renowned artists throughout history. The app includes 25 diverse 3D head models, with 2 available for free. Start with simplified models and gradually move to more complex ones as you gain confidence and understanding of facial planes. Enhance your practice further with 5 classical models designed to deepen your knowledge of facial anatomy.
COMPLETE CONTROL
Enjoy full control over every 3D model in the app. Zoom in, tilt, and rotate the heads to examine each feature from any angle. This flexibility allows you to focus on specific areas of the face, helping you understand proportions, structure, and lighting effects with precision.
ENVIRONMENTAL & STUDIO LIGHTING
Master light and shadow with realistic environmental lighting powered by HDR imagery. Recreate natural lighting scenarios such as sunrise, midday, and sunset. Alternatively, switch to Studio Lighting mode to build custom lighting setups using multiple spotlights and color variations. Adjust the angle and intensity of the light source to suit your study needs—ideal for analyzing facial planes and tonal transitions.
CUSTOMISABLE RENDERING
Enhance your learning experience with customizable rendering options. Use the edge outline feature to clearly highlight facial planes, making it easier to grasp structure and form. Once you're comfortable, turn off the outlines and transition into a more realistic rendering environment. You can also adjust shininess settings to simulate different material textures, offering a versatile way to practice under varied surface conditions.
