FaceGen Modeller

by Singular Inversions Inc.

FaceGen Modeller is a Windows program for creating realistic 3D models of human faces and heads from photos or random parameters.

FaceGen Modeller is a program for creating three-dimensional models of human faces. It is used by game developers, 3D modelers, artists and even, in some situations, by forensic experts as a 3D sketch.

You can create faces in several modes in the program:

Random generation mode - the face is created automatically, and all values of facial settings are selected randomly by the program, or within a specified range;

FaceGen Modeller allows easy creation of detailed, customizable 3D models of human faces.

in manual mode - each part of the face can be adjusted separately (drag with the mouse or change the values with the sliders);

Based on one or three photos - ideally, you need a front photo plus two optional photos of the left and right profile.

The program includes over 150 controls for different facial areas, such as brow level, nose length, chin width, mouth and many other parts, plus demographic sliders for age, gender, caricature, asymmetry and ethnic features. In addition, there is a separate Expression tab with more than 110 morph targets, including the complete Facial Action Coding System (FACS) set of action units such as brow raisers, lid raisers and cheek raise, which can be combined into composite expressions. You can add hair and other accessory models, change skin color and apply textures, and export the finished model to formats such as FBX, OBJ, DAE, 3DS, LWO and STL for 3D printing.

FaceGen Modeller software was used by developers of such games as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Football Manager to create their characters. The free Demo edition marks the face with an FG watermark, while the Core, Pro and Enterprise editions are paid licences.
