Strorm,

As far as I knew, it was done this way:
Let software cutout the face.
Place the face over a standard 3D mesh (female/male).
Create texture.
Mail texture.

(And their site says this technique: There are certain commercially available 3D head reconstruction software systems that produce head meshes based on the projection of a preformed generic mesh of the human head onto a 2D image. Whist this method can be fast it forces the depth variable to be consistent with the generic mesh, hence the ‘z’ vertex values are always the same regardless of the input image.)

They say the do it this way:

CyberExtruder ’s software reconstruction algorithms use training data to reconstruct the human head from a 2D image. Since a single 2D image is acquired there are no scanning problems. The use of training data ensures that the depth variables are estimated and fitted to the 2D data accurately whilst the complete modelling of the camera and its relation to the head in the image removes the requirement that the head should look directly along the camera’s optical axis.

Which would make that they could easily add a function that together with the .jpg you get automatically genetered best ’slider settings’ for your head to go with the head skin. I think. *grins*

You know those softwares that “morph” a person’s face with something else? Half woman, half cat, all NEKO!
