Live link face application..... IOS only? Really?

[NorfolkDave]

Just tried to create a character that looks like me, saw the face scan option, cheered, then found out its IOS only. Poor play guys!

Just go to a apple store and use a display phone

Thats not a great suggestion*.
Really should have android support, but early access so I understand why not, but they could have let us upload images of our faces to the game to use. hell fight night on the ps3 did that.

* its 01 hundred hours here, It would be frowned upon if I used a display phone in the local apple store at this time of night. Also there is the logistics of getting my pc to the store (the app and the game have to be on the same network.) Also I dont want to scan my face with a store display model lol.

Its just like the whole AMD vs Nvidia topic, some hardware is just better.

Well, no.
I wont get pulled into an apple vs android debate, I will say though that i have scanned 3d objects with my current phone, and the one before that. I also currently play ingress which has you scan objects creating photo-geometry of them, niantic do the compiling there, but it can be done on any phone or machine, its a very old tech that one.

on amd vs nvidia, AI has sort of moved the needle to nvidia's side on that one. Though I have seen plenty of wrappers for amd users. But, yeah lets not make this a "my preferred phone system is better than your preferred phone system"

Oh, this was explained during their AMA: apparently, the program they're currently using for facial recognition is IOS-only, but they are looking into other options as well.

Just wish they would atleast let us use photo's while the android app is not released. Though they do need more options in the creator. I couldnt even find a military buzz cut (there is one thats like head stubble lol)

Yeah early access, so with luck these things will come. Or modders will add them.

So far it just mimics movement it doesnt add your face to the zoi.

Odd, so the menu option on creating is just poorly labled? I can live with that.... though was hoping to import my face into the game (my sims are probably happy I cant lol)

use an image overlay program like "PureRef" and the face you want, then line it up with the zoi face and edit to "match"

I took a picture of my face ad had that beside my screen as i did my best, I mean its not a great solution, but what we have had in other games :( (well part from games like fight night on the ps3.... its strange that the tech was more widely adopted)

with pureref you can directly overlay it on the game, set the transparency, then lock it so your mouse doesn't interact with pureref anymore. that way you can align it as best as the engine allows, pureref can have multiple pictures on it canvas so you can have side views. i used to use it a lot with zbrush till they added their own version.
