Click the Change Wireframe Color
button and cycle through different wire frame colors.
This can be used if both the original image and the wire frames
colorS are the same color, as it would make it difficult to view and make corrections.
-
Click the Select
button to pick and move components of the wire frame. This is selected by default.
You may move the wires that connect the frame points, or the individual wire
frame points themselves, by using the mouse to select them. The mouse cursor
changes its appearance once you move over the wire or the wire frame points.
You may also move the frame points along the wires to get a wire shape
more suited to the face contours. To move multiple points simultaneously,
hold the Ctrl key and click the desired
control points. The selected control points will turn red.
Release the Ctrl key and then move
the points to the desired location.
-
Click the Rotate
button to rotate the wire frame or the frame component (wire). To use this tool,
first select a frame component, or a wire, by using the
Select
tool.
The selected wire will turn red. Next, click the
Rotate button.
Hold and rotate the mouse over the image in a clockwise or counterclockwise
direction to rotate the selected frame.
-
Click the Scale
button to adjust the size of the wire frame. To use this tool, first select a frame
component, or a wire, by using the Select
tool.
The selected wire will then turn red. Next, click the
Scale button.
Now position the cursor over the image and drag up or down to increase, or
decrease, the size of the wire.
-
Click the Open/Close Mouth Points
button to close the mouth points of the wire frame.
This will cause the points of the upper and lower lip to
move together as a single line. If your model has a closed mouth, then
we suggest you to use this option. This option is available only
when you select the Detailed Facial Mode.
-
Click the Calibration
button to play back
a short script intended for calibration. Click the down
arrow next to it if you wish to select a specific part of the
face.
Replacing the Face Image
If you have several of the same character with various hair styles and makeup, then you may use this feature to change the image without adjusting the wireframes and feature points.
Click the Replace Image button on the right bottom of the page, load another image. Now
the original image will be replaced with the new image, while leaving the wireframes and feature points unchanged.
