Forward-projected facial profile = attractive face in the front view
This is pretty obvious for most of y'all, but I think it's worthwhile to show the difference forward growth can make to the front view, with no perspective distortion, under the same lighting conditions.
Today we'll be unscientifically examining forward growth using a 3D model I downloaded from CGTrader. All the renders were shot through an orthographic lens, which means there's no perspective distortion, so the heads may appear kind of wide in the frontal shots.
- 1st picture = morphed: more recessed
- 2nd picture = original model
- 3rd picture = morphed: more forward-grown
In order for this collection of renders to effectively counterargue against people who believe, "side profile doesn't matter that much bro, it's all about the front view," I only translated vertices along the Y axis—that's the axis that goes forwards and backwards relative to the face (in Blender, the Z axis goes up and down). So I didn't move any parts of the face horizontally or vertically; I did were entirely forwards/backwards mesh edits.
Anyway, here's how they look from the front:
Big difference right?
Your side profile isn't just your side profile. Facial projection is also key to an aesthetically pleasing front view.
Masculinity Pill
Masculine bone structure can compensate for midface recession.
See how the recessed guy and the forward-grown guy compare to the recessed guy morphed with a more masculine craniofacial structure:
Even though the forward-grown guy brutally mogs the recessed guy, the masculinized recessed guy mogs the forward-grown guy in the front view.
