FaceGen Testing

The FaceGen program is a powerful program designed to help graphic artists with the tough assignment of texturing a characters head (minus the hair). This program has quite a few choice and features that allow many, but not all, expressions and possible combinations of characteristics. Above is the starting model.

Here the model's ethnic background is changed to East Indian and the symmetry of the face is turned off. As seen it is possible to create some very unlikely features if the settings are pushed to the max. It is best to change settings in moderation only.

Here the character is given a beard as well as an expression, fear. It is a pity that head hair cannot be added as this would complete the expression.

It is also possible to change physical features such as the height of the eyebrows and the size of the chin. Here we gave the character a Jay Leno chin.

Here the character is given a slight case of fear, as well as displaying the feeling of being tired. Bags were added under the eyes and the eyelids were moved down. The eyelids can be moved independently of each other if desired. The character above looks like week old bread, or any of us in class once the final is over.
