FantaFace Mixer description
FantaFace Mixer - Create fantastic image morphing pictures and sophisticated animation effects

FantaFace Mixer has been developed to create fantastic face composite with multiple images.

With our intelligent face detection and feature extraction technique, you can easily mix up multiple faces into a magic "average face" or generate thousands of synthetic photo-realistic faces.

FantaFace Mixer takes advantage of hardware acceleration, the high speed of the rendering engine makes it possible to compute multiple faces at one time and see the final composite in real time.

FantaFace Mixer supports most image formats including BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, TGA, PCX, and even professional 32-bit with alpha formats. If you have a webcam or any video device, you can quickly capture some headshots as source images.

Exporting to still images or HTML files are supported. You can store edited faces in a classified Face Library and then simply pick up some faces from there for a new composite. The skinnable user interface is cool in looks, streamlined in function, and a joy to work with.

Here are some key features of "FantaFace Mixer":
