  3. ClosedContour and Texture Alignment

    In the Contour and Texture Alignment panel, you are lead to set the detail feature points to the facial features in the photo by different sub-steps, such as RightEye, LeftEye, Nose, Mouth, Face, All (for previewing), and even basically re-position the transformation of the eyeballs, teeth and tongue.

    1. Eye- This sub-step shows the wireframes and points of the eye and eyebrow. You can determine the depths of the eyebrow bones and the eyes.
    2. Nose - In this sub-step, you can determine the shape of the nose of the 3D actor in order to match the nose look of the face in the photo. Because the nose is the most extrusive feature on the face, the similarity stands a crucial position for creating a same 3D actor as the one in the photo.
    3. Mouth - You can set the extrusion of the lips in this sub-step.
    4. Face - The face sub-step determines the entire skull of the 3D actor, including the forehead, the back of the head, the chin, and the jaw. Fitting the feature points to the head in the photo increases the persuasion that the 3D actor is the same one as in the photo.
    5. All - In this sub-step, you can preview the entire fitting result in the previous sub-steps and do some further adjustments.
