An easier technique is to model the features of the person you are = trying to re-create, then around this model identify camera placements = based on pictures you have. Once you have those, use Bodypaint to paint = those projections onto the face. If your object can have a = self-illuminated (vs shaded) texture, this will hide the lack of detail = of your model and give you a very real looking face. If you are interested in this technique let me know Off list, since this = is not really an AE topic...

One thought was using Shapeshifter, only = problem is it's not on mac. Second thought was using some software to = auto generate the obj, but am striking out on finding a process or app = that will do this on Mac. Any thoughts? My brain is fried at the moment. = :/ >=20 > David Torno > Visual Effects Artist & Supervisor > http://www.ghosttownmedia.com > O: 213.739.2290 > C: 818.391.6060 > --------------------- > http://www.sydefxink.com > http://aeioweyou.blogspot.com > http://mactex.blogspot.com >=20 > "The most useless day is that in which we do not laugh" > -Charles Field > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to
