## What is CloneFace?

CloneFace is a 3D face generator that requires no special equipment. It uses just one photo to quickly create a 3D model of your face.

CloneFace is simple and fun! Stay tuned—more features are coming soon.

===== Steps to building a 3D face =====

- On the first screen, you can choose a picture from the camera or your photo library. A default face will be used if no picture is selected.

- The second screen is the FDP (Facial Definition Parameters) editing screen. Single-tap a facial feature to focus on it. You can move and resize the selected component using multitouch gestures.

- Once the FDP is correctly placed on the face, a 3D model is generated on the third screen—the 3D Scene. Tap the Switch button to view face morphing in action.

- Tap the Glasses button to add or remove 3D sunglasses.

- Tap the Animation button to view and switch between facial expressions: happiness, anger, surprise, sadness, fear, and disgust.

- Tap the Hair button to try virtual hairstyles on a 2D face view.

- Tap the Speech button to make the face talk.

- Tap the Eyes button to make the face wink.

- Tap the Video button to export a movie of your animated face.

### 1/5 — Cloneface

*2014-02-06*

Clever app, fun to use but what's with the hair? Only can choose 1 style and what a style. Why only show in 2d!  
I it's a 3d face maker that you can't save in 3d.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2013-01-03*

Simple to use and mapping of photo over 3d faces works well.
Good prototype.
