Mini Me

I've decided to make a virtual me, i've been putting it off but now seems the time to get cracking. I've been playing with face gen, it imports 3 pictures of a face, front, left and right. It asks you to move some points around, matching a reference pic, and 10 mins later, you have a textured 3d model of your head. It's not perfect by any means but a great start. I then intend to splice this onto a generic body model (can't be arsed to model myself, why have a gut in cyberspace anyway?) and do some animations of it talking (face gen lets you export snapshots of the head and there are handy morph sliders for doing expressions and phonemes. I also thought I'd do some timelapse of me getting older, first one below. I won't post them all, I'll put the movie up maybe every six months...I'll morph them rather than having them at 25fps, prolly won't remember to take them that regularly...
