Importing Photo Image

Creating a face for your actor is simple. To begin the procedure, you can select one of the pre-made face styles from the selection in the file manager pane, or you can create one from a photo of your own. If you decide to use a photo, be sure to use a clear, front-view photo with no hair hanging or blocking the view of the face. The mouth of the face in the picture should be closed and with a normal emotionless expression. You may crop and adjust the image using a photo editing application before you attempt to use it with iClone.

To import a face photo:

1. Select the actor and go to the Avatar section under the Attribute tab of the Modify panel.
2. Click the Create Face button to open the browser window.
3. Browse to the folder where your face image file is saved using the Look in drop down menu.
4. Click the Open button to select the highlighted image file.
   The Import Photo Image Window opens.
   
5. Use the side toolbar to make any adjustments to the image as required.

6. Click the Next button to proceed to the next step, or if the head in your photo isn't straight and needs adjustment, go to defining the facial angle.
