Softpedia Editor's Review for FaceGen Modeller
|
Create realistic human faces in 3D, at random or from your own photos
Written by Elena Opris on November 23rd, 2011
FaceGen Modeller is a tool that enables you to design human faces in a 3D environment. It can be a random face, or you can import your own photos.
This program is useful if you want to incorporate human faces when you're designing a video game, or just have fun creating virtual versions of yourself and your friends.
Once you initiate the program, FaceGen Modeller informs you that you cannot save or export your work in the demo mode.
The user interface seems plain, but it has a lot of features that you can easily lose yourself into.
Start by generating a random face, and then adjusting its features. You can select and fully customize race, gender, age, caricature, asymmetry, and race morphing.
You can also change detail texture, detail texture modulation, texture overlay, texture gamma correction, as well as polys (show or hide particular parts, like upper teeth or glasses).
Additionally, the viewing mode can be changed, according to the diffuse shading mode, texture mode, object rotation, background color or photo, lighting options, and light sources.
The camera mode can switch from a perspective mode to an ortographic mode, but perspective controls can be altered as well.
Plus, you can change the shape and texture of face characteristics, generate random faces similar to the current one (genetically), tween or morph the face.
Last but not least, you can use FaceGen PhotoFit to import your own photos, assign feature points to a frontal, left profile and right profile image, and finally let FaceGen process it.
We tested this last option but disabled the preservation of facial hair in detail texture, as well as usage of detail texture from side photos. FaceGen took 10 minutes (in our case) to build the virtual human face, and the resemblance was amazing.
Keep in mind that this program uses a very high amount of CPU and memory resources.
In conclusion, FaceGen Modeller proves to be an excellent program for creating and designing human faces. Its full price is fair, since it has amazing features.
