Take your 3D object tracking motion data and quickly and easily generate a basic head mesh shape. There is a very tiny amount of modeling involved, but most of the work is done with the tracking data and modifiers.

This video is part of my new VFX course - "The Blendinator" where I show you how to use basic VFX principles in Blender to turn yourself into a terminator. It is jam packed with all kinds of tips and tricks, so if you're wanting to use Blender for VFX, this is a great way to start and to support me at the same time.
