The app works in a very simple way and, although for now only in the Chinese version (a future version in English is foreseen, however), it cannot be confused.
The guide to Meing then says to upload his own selfie photo with his face in the foreground and let the app process it in order to digitize it and make it become as drawn in a cartoon. If you don't have a photo, you can take the selfie with the app itself .

The application will show a green box when your face is positioned well for taking the photo. Meing then analyzes the face and asks to check the boundaries of the face by repositioning the green indicators on the screen. At the end, touch the green button on the right for females or the one on the left for males. Then you can customize the face created, change the hair, the color of the eyes, the skin, the clothes, the poses and the scenario in which to immerse them and make them move with music. The button of the jacket instead changes the clothes. Once you have finished customizing your avatar, tap on the top left corner to return to the main menu. The button with the icon of the start of the movie allows you to choose to move the avatar created in a pole dance or to sing or stay on a motorcycle.
The video can then be viewed, saved and shared on various social networks (the green button on the right saves or shares the video). If you want, by pressing the button on the left you can also record the audio of the character and dub it in your own voice.
