The auto-fitting of the four anchor points position the eyes and the mouth, and create an approximate wire frame that fits the face. The fitting tools provide more control over the frame components and enable you to position them with more precision.
Click Basic Facial Mode
or Detailed Facial Mode
to fine tune the fitting process. The basic model provides
23 points on the wire frame while the detailed model provides more points
to adjust the wire frame. Move the individual points and resize the
wires to ensure that the wire frame fits the image to the highest degree
of accuracy. Note that you can move the points in all directions. Experiment
with frame fitting with various images to get more practice and see what
kind of frame produces the most realistic talking image.
Use the wire frame tools on top of the preview window as follows:
Click Change Wireframe Color
to select a color for the wire frame that is more easily visible.
This may be required if the original image is dark and the wire frame
color is also dark, causing errors in fitting.
Click Move
to move components of the wire frame. This is the selected default tool.
You can move wires that connect the frame points or the individual wire
frame points using the mouse to select the component. The mouse cursor
changes shape and color when you move the wire or the wire frame points.
You can also move the frame points along the wires to get a wire shape
more suited to the face contours. To move multiple points simultaneously,
press Ctrl and click the required
control points. The selected control points will turn red.
Release the Ctrl key and then move
the points to the required location.
Click Rotate
to rotate the wire frame or the frame component (wire). To use this tool,
first select a frame component or a wire using the
Move
tool.
The selected wire gets highlighted. Next, click the
Rotate icon.
Hold and rotate the mouse over the image in clockwise or counter-clockwise
direction. The selected frame rotates.
Click Scale
to adjust the size of the wire frame. To use this tool, first select a frame
component or a wire using the Move
tool.
The selected wire gets highlighted. Next, click the
Scale icon.
Now position the cursor over the image and drag up or down to increase or
decrease the size of the wire respectively.
Click Close Mouth Points
to close the mouth points of the wire frame.
This will cause the points for the upper and lower lip to
move together as a single line. If your model has a closed mouth
we suggest you use this option. This option is available only
when you select the Detailed Facial Mode.
