Face LibraryFaceBank for FaceGen Sample celebrity facesHere are abunch of.FG files to play with. Someof the models workbetter than others. FaceGen's default rendering output is simplesurface rendering, which means that skintones tend to look a littlelike they've been painted onto a surface (you tend to get asimilar 'look' when you hand-paint a diecast model). m. A-F. G-K. L-O.
P-Z./divSome of these head shapes look slightly iffy, butwith real people, its not always obvious what their actual head shapeisunderneath all the hair. For a couple of the better images here, I madea tiny tweek to the cranium width, and that made a big difference.FaceGen concentrates on trying to get the facial region right, andextrapolates the rest of the head from the facial proportions, sosometimes a series of slight errors in the facial proportions can leadto a funny-looking head. Then again, most of us aren't surrounded bybald people, and probably don't have a good idea of the what thenatural range of headshape variations. I resisted the temptation toedit all the heads to make them look 'normal', partly because most ofthese are going to end up with hair, and partly because, for all Iknew, perhaps this is what these people's heads really looklikeunder all the hair? Who knows?(16th Feb: Yes, VincentPrice's head really WAS that shape! See him playing 'Egghead'in the Batman TV series)Once you'vedownloaded one of these heads in.fg format, making these sorts oftweeks is easy. Instead of trying to decipher which FaceGen slider touse, you can simply hold down the Ctrl key andclick and drag on justabout any feature on the face, to pull it around in real-time.
WithCtrl-Click, your changes will affectboth sides of the facesymmetrically, so if you think that a head looks too narrow or toowide, you can Ctrl-Click next to the temple and drag the mouse a fewpixels to one side or another. Ctrl-Z is'undo', and 'redo' isCtrl-Y.Have fun!PS: thesame disclaimers apply as on the previous page: I don't know SI, theydon't know me, and if you use anyone's faces commerciallywithoutpermission from the people whose faces they actually are, their lawyerswill probably track you down and have you shot.
