If until a few years ago to create yourself you had to draw from scratch with complicated programs or with virtual games to Second Life, without ever being able to make your own face identical to the real one. All this becomes possible thanks to the implementation of advanced image manipulation technologies that transform photography into an almost alive and very realistic digital figure.
Digimi no longer exists .
As alternatives I can report the MP-Change app to animate your face in a photo, which allows you to recreate yourself, like in an animated film .
As Jolly in this article, we mention the site to become an Avatar of the Avatar movie using the photo of themselves . AvatarizeYourself is an Oddcast web application, the same as Photoface and many other virtual transformations and animations.
Obviously the image is in 3D, it is animated, it can be male or female, you can choose the happy or angry expression and you can attach a personal message in case you want to send it by email.
To start, click on the central button " Create Your avatar " and access, after a short wait, the online editor of creation of the virtual character.
The first thing to do is to upload your own photograph that represents your face from the front, without glasses or other objects, as if it were a passport photo.
You can also take a photo with the webcam, in case you have the possibility.
After pressing on " Browse File " to upload the real photo, you must click on " Create Head ", choose whether you are Male or Female and start the instrument panel for complete customization.
At this point they can do all the colors with photomontages worthy of the best modern animation films .
Immediately you will be able to see the splendid adaptation of the photo in the three-dimensional image, with a full figure representing the digitized self.
By clicking on the fragmented little man at the bottom right, you can enlarge the head, the body or the legs.
With the arrows down instead you can turn the avatar or orient it differently in 3D space.
On the left, on the other hand, there are all the elements to add to the figure to modify and customize it as you wish.
So, it will be possible: add a haircut, change or make up your eyes, paint your face, put a lipstick on your lips, wear a pair of glasses and dress the avatar .
In the " Clothing " menu you can choose from complete "outfits" or from different trousers, T-shirts, shoes and jackets.
The various added elements can be removed by pressing the button at the bottom left and choosing which to remove from the drop-down menu.
Funny are the Morph menu with facial distortion effects and the " Transformation " menu.
From the latter you can play with your face and give it a different look through different parameters: age (older or younger), sex (more male or effeminate), the race between European, African, Asian and Indian, the caricature effect and that of asymmetry of the face.
After having fun with the experiments, to save the new virtual and realistic self, you must register by providing an email address, a nickname and the access password and then click on the Save button.
The Publish button instead allows you to share the character on the internet and show it to the Digimi community or to your friends on Facebook or other social networks.
After registration, with the avatar saved, you can create animated photo montages and video clips using different scenarios, with other photos, with YouTube videos and various animations made available by the site.
Since the web application is not really fast to load, Digimi, from the home page also provides a free download of a program called Avatar Studio to be installed on the PC (Windows or Mac) to create oneself easily and quickly.
The results obtained are exceptionally realistic and creating yourself in this way so similar to that of the movies will make friends and relatives be amazed.
