Iclone - Real-Time 3D Filmmaking - 3D character animation

Adjusting Facial Boundaries

Different faces vary in shape and you must define the facial boundary of the imported photo. This process is covered in the Setting the facial boundary tutorial in the Getting Started section.

See G2 head connection issue section for more details.

Note:

This is part of the 3D head generation process, and cannot be performed again after the 3D head is created and saved.
