Hello Adrian, For best results with the photofit you should be 5 to 10 feet from your subject, so pick your lens appropriately.
You do not need to center the faces perfectly, but the region that you should center is the 'face region'; from where the chin meets the neck to half-way up the forehead, and in front of the ears. If you use just one profile photo Modeller will use the details from that photo for both sides of the face so there's no need to use 2 profile photos unless you have a specific scar or something that you want to appear only on the one side. Lighting is important. For best results use a consumer-style point flash on the camera for all shots. Background is not as important, although a dark background may help with the outer contours. For more details about taking the photo: http://www.facegen.com/modeller35_help.htm#photofit The marker point positions do not have to be exact, since FaceGen uses them mainly as a starting point and has tolerance on their positioning. The points on the different views do not correspond. For the frontal points: center of the pupils, the outermost points on the nose flaps, corners of mouth, outermost points of the cheekbones, occluding contour of the jaw at the same height as the mouth (or what would be the same height if the face is tilted up/down). For the profile points: sellion, nose tip, half way in-between on nose bridge, outer corner of eye, where nose meets philtrum, forward-most point of upper lip, forward-most point of lower lip, forward-most point of chin, part-way (roughly) between chin and neck on lower chin contour.
