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 build 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.
