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.
