3D Portrait V2 – template

This is what you can do :

• Bring in an image of a human face
• Choose a preset that represents the angle from which your photo was shot
• Modify build in masks for eyes, nose, lips and ears
• Create custom masks to take objects like hair, neck and shoulder into consideration
• Generate a 3D-Surface based on those masks
• Move a camera around this surface and keyframe it to create an animation
• Render it in Full HD (1920×1080) or 4K (3840×2160)

What you get :

• 3D Portrait V1 (Will work with CS4 and higher)
• 60 Minutes of video Tutorial
• PDF document with the controls explained

Please keep in mind that this tool was created to animate portraits of human faces only.

Also keep in mind that although this is a 3-dimensional effect, it is generated from a 2-dimensional image and therefore it has it’s limitations.

This doesn’t generate a full-spherical-3d-head-model, but displaces a planar surface.

There will be some kinds of photos which will work better then others. But for most of the photos I have tried it on, it worked great.

A basic understanding of After Effects’ 3d-Space and camera movement is recommended.

This is complex effect, so depending on your machine, expect little longer render times. You always have the option to lower the 3d-Surface’s resolution though.
