Face IT!

By blog on Mar 2, 2008 in 2) Useful n Interesting

With the exciting sneek peak at BETT of the up-coming Crazy Talk 5, I thought I would face up to facts and look into some of the other facial features available.

Try out the glorious MonoFace. This goofy time killer might take awhile to load, but it’s worth the wait if you enjoy doodling with people’s faces. Simply click on the eyes, nose, mouth, and heads to change those elements into 759,375 combinations.
.
There’s also an image gallery of collected favorites and a “shuffle face” mode for random digital Gurning.

It’s a Flash-based application that allows you to mix and match various facial features from a number of real-life people to make interesting and sometimes hilarious results.
The blending between the various features is fantastic, with only the occasional face that ends up looking like a real cut-and-paste job. The rest look either hilarious or slightly unsettling! :-)

Face sketch is a SUPERB tool for creating …sketches… of … faces!

Indentikit and more. A great way to look at the proportions of faces on a whiteboard in an art lesson.

Face sketch is also really good for making some cartoon face which you can animate in CrazyTalk.

By the way, don’t forget that Crazytalk can be used to animate even paintings. How about getting some Picasso paintings to complain and ask the man himself why their ears are on the same side of their face!

Talking of Picasso, try out Mr Picasso Head and create some stylish designs.

Here is a digital version of Mr Potato Head.

The anlogue chap used to provide me with hours of fun.

O.K. well, minutes.

Also, see Mr Spud’s Travels HERE.

I love the idea of finding faces in every day objects. How about this sink for example:

  2. Hi Tim

    Some great links there, love Monoface. I have used Flash Face before but had forgotten all about it! I’ve been playing with Crazy Talk 4 on trial, but CT5 not available here yet.

    I’ve seen Voki used on a few teaching sites (www.voki.com) but have always had problems getting it to work properly myself… must be operator eror.

    Thanks
