Bieber Fever

Back at it again and had a crazy idea of overlaying a smaller sharper face ontop of a blurrer face(caused by the jit.fastblur effect). Hmmm..

So using these 2 models, it wasn’t a perfect fit and I found out another problem with regarding how bang works(that 2 of them cannot be banging at the same time)

I dissected the problem slowly and understood the blur needed to be heavier to create a seamless face, and a crazy idea of extracting only the features of JB’s face because that’s all I really need.

And it worked pretty well I must say.

Decided to add a final light fastblur at the end before sending it out of the subpatcher to ensure a smoother experience.

Finally with all these, I conclude I am only left with 1 problem. How can I have multiple bangs coming into the matrix at the same time?

Bieliebers unite! I decided to use Justin Bieber for my facial swap exercise. Below is a small montage of how many faces i tried to play with to get the most accurate bieber face swap on my face.

The results weren’t great at first..

I kinda dig it though LOL. But after getting the hang of it, it the process became quite natural. Eventually testing it on a friend, it seemed pretty in sync with his face.

But I was quite unhappy with how there were these sharp edges around the face. I would probably want to do something about it at a future date.
