Front Face Control Point Placement Guide

Refine Face uses control points and handles to create Bézier curves that outline the face and guide head mesh generation. Accurate anchor point placement is crucial, as it defines the vertices used for mesh generation and improves facial proportions and topology matching to the reference photo.

Special Control Point Guidance

Hovering over certain control points displays additional visual instructions to assist with correct placement:

  • Eyebrow Points (4 points) -
    Follow the lower contour of the eyebrow to define the brow ridge accurately.
  • Chin Points (2 points) -
    Place slightly below lip level to maintain correct lower-face proportion and jaw alignment.
