No copyrighted images are allowed to be used to create FaceMate 3D Avatar Models.
Choosing Personalization Photos
To create a FaceMate you are required to submit a) one front and b) one OPTIONAL side profile photos.
Follow these instructions and guidelines closely to optimize results.
Important note about 'OPTIONAL' side profile shots
- A side profile image may create better results but is not required to use FaceMate.
- A side profile will create more accurate profile results for nose , chin and jawline shapes, and provide extra detail for skin tones for facial feature texture mapping.
NO SMILE - Faces must have the mouth closed and should be in a natural relaxed pose.
NO SQUINTING - Eyes must be open and looking straight ahead.
NO SHADOWS - The entire face must be in the photo with no strong daylight shadows or anything like hair obscuring any part of the face. Hair should not cover the forehead or any part of the face.
FaceMate Photo Submission Guideline Don’t's
Photos below are examples of images that will produce poor results or will not work at all
To ensure good results the source image chosen and submitted should be optimal and should not be similar to the following examples:
The face should be at least 500 pixels high in the image with relatively high DPI if a scan of an printed image. Save your photos in the JPEG (JPG), BMP, TIFF (TIF) or TGA file formats.
The size of the texture image is automatically determined by the number of pixels in the face area, so use a large source image if you require a large texture image. Max 4096 x 4096.
Note: Drawings of faces and Black and White may not yield good results. Sorry Furry fans pets don’t really work well either!
FaceMate Marker Placement
Colored markers need to be placed on specific areas and parts of the face to be abel to process the image. They are color coded for convenience
- Blue Markers = Centre of Eye Positions
- Green Markers = Left/Right Side of Nostrils Positions
- Yellow Markers = Left/Right Ear Canal-Cheek Positions
- Pink Markers = Corner of Mouth Positions
- Red Markers = Left/Right Neck Meets Jawline Areas
- Orange = Tip of Chin
NOTE: Proper cross hair marker placement is CRITICAL for FaceMate to be effective. If markers are moved to far from intended zone areas may change color!
Markers out of range can cause a rendering error message to appear.
Markers can be moved as an entire set using the mouse and the following techniques.
- FINAL MARKER PLACEMENT = Move over individual positions & drag to positions to fine tune
- LEFT MOUSE CLICK = Moves all points together to align to face
- RIGHT MOUSE CLICK = Pan image
- SCROLL WHEEL = Scale image in or out
A similar process of marker placement is required if an optional side facing profile photo is to be processed.
Once markers are in their relative and correct positions the final rendering step can be processed.
