Daily DIY

You can create a small video animation of your face or an animated gif to use as an avatar in your blog, chat or e-mail signature. Many users insert their animated avatars in their myspace profile or send it as a surprise e-card.

The latest facial animation software is designed to recreate 3D models from full front face portraits with closed mouths and a relaxed expression. It is very sensitive to anomalies of digital pictures like color (over-exposed areas) or shape (open mouth, side views).

You only need a digital picture of your face to create a video animation with sound. An online service, http://www.image-me.com will do the rest for you.

The red crosses on the examples below show wrong pictures and the green ticked ones, the right photos to animate.
