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 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. 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.
