Have just uploaded a short article on my website on how to project textures onto a face model using 3ds max, inspired by the book ‘Essence: The Face’.
As the thread ‘Essence: The Face" not what I expected’ points out, the book doesn’t really go into enough detail about software specific steps in achieving the amazing outcomes presented in the book. I wrote this article, really just to help myself understand, but am happy to share it:

I really do recommend the book & DVD - a must have for the CG artist’s libray.
