Janet Voxel Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 FaceApp is like two years old. This is the guy that’s supposed to be in the “know” about all things technology? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelindaN Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 It sure works, but a Forum Angel did mine for me. I'm hopeless with techhy stuff. (Nods up at Avi pic). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only caveat is that the subject matter is almost always three to six months late to the party. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, it may be worth it, Beth. I followed the link and found out about "FaceApp". FaceApp is a smartphone app that can apply filters to your photos. You can do things like age a person, make them younger, change their gender. But for me, the nicest one was a "smile" filter. When applied to an avatar's picture, it produces an amazingly realistic smile, much better than anyone's been able to do even with Bento so far. I found that it is possible to install an Android emulator on my PC and then install FaceApp on my computer...which I really liked because I don't use my smartphone for any SL images. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which android emulator did you use Lindal? I don't use my phone for SL pictures either but would love to be able to use the FaceApp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindal Kidd Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I used MeMu. I could not tell you if this was a good choice or a bad choice, though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixie Kobichenko Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) After playing around with the FaceApp with real life pictures I ran One of my avi and I think it’s pretty neat. (I gave myself a smile & added on more hair) Edited January 31, 2020 by Pixie Kobichenko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I don't know why I never Googled to see if such a thing existed, but I never have. Like you, I don't use my phone for SL images. I had heard of FaceApp (so if *I* have heard of it and the article is just now getting around to writing about it, geez... do they know that VHS tapes have been replaced?) but of course it doesn't run on my PC. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasterscan Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Yesterday I scrolled the world map to deliberately find the most southerly point in the SL world. TP'ed over and had a blast ! it's a winter wonderland, with a couple of premum member gift givers and a complete working SLRR railway ! Check it out !

MaxMare Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 They are talking about LeLutka axis HUD which is a must-have for any SL photographer...it allows you to create any possible facial expression you can think of and works with any bento head not just LeLutka...

Lelutka Axis Hud Video Lelutka Axis Hud on Other Heads Video The Axis HUD is great: I have it, and use it all the time. But you can't create that kind of smile using it, or even using the Black Dragon poser (which is harder to use than the Lelutka HUD, but more powerful) for the simple reason that the Bento skeleton doesn't have the right bones to create that dimpled cheek look. This is what I got using FaceApp. It's mildly Uncanny Valley, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannick568 Sands Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Faceapp surely does a nice job. I always find it so difficult to achieve "believable" smiles with any avatar picture, even pre-mesh heads. Overall, I dunno, it kinda looks creepy a bit, like a slightly better version than a morph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Lindal! Now for a dumb question. How do I get a picture on the app? Cause I have no idea. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindal Kidd Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Open MeMu Click the FaceApp icon Click the file folder icon in the right hand toolbar Set the Shared pictures path to point to the directory where you keep SL photos Now a gallery of all those photos will appear in the app's home page. Click one of them to upload to the FaceApp servers. Now you can morph it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
