In this project of Face Mapping, I continue using my cartooness style and designed my work in a theme of the fox.
I use these parameters in my work:
At the very beginning, I planned to use my face designed from my last project. However, when I actually put the face into this project, I found that it is too “catooness” for this project. The positions for eyes, nose, ect. are too different from a real human face.
Thus, I re-designed my idea and decided to draw foxes for this project. I like fuzzy animals and I think it is interesting to put animal characters onto the human.
Basically, I used almost all the data from face points. I mapped eyes, nose, mouth (and how open the mouth is) and the chin. It is fun to map these positions to my cartoon elements.
For those elements that cannot be mapped, such as skin colors and decorations, I linked them to the parameters and trained them, so that the system knows when and how to adjust the parameter to match the human face.
When I chose my photos of this project, I firstly chose family photos because foxes usually live in families. But the results were not satisfying enough, so I changed the photos into friends’ photos.
I am happy with the final results now and I like these fuzzy cuties.
