Inspiration
You may be familiar with this video that went viral in the tech art community featuring a photorealistic head being controlled by a hand. But did you know the creator of that video, Chris Jones, has a Youtube channel where you can check out other cool works of art.
A personal favourite is Universal Human, a plugin that allows you to procedurally create character base mesh in Blender!
