Scene #06: Cartoonish Avatar Sample

Configuration

"Cartoonish" effect for the Head 2.0 avatar can be achieved by configuring some particular parameters.

Avatar Modifications:

• Slightly Cartoonish Texture applies blur effect on the avatar texture
• Parametric Eyes Texture replace eye texture from submitted photo to generated one with sclera and iris colors match the photo version.
• Add Eyelid Shadow - applies shadow on the eyes texture
• Add Glare - add a glare to the texture

Shape Modifications:

• Cartoonish Level v1.0 specifies the level of the mesh geometry modification. Applied only to the head/mobile subtype.

Also we recommend to set some additional parameters for better results: Allow Modify Neck, Enhance Lighting, Remove Glasses, Remove Smile. Find more information about these parameters on the Parameters Sample page.

    computationParameters.avatarModifications.enhanceLighting.Value = true;
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.removeGlasses.Value = true;
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.removeSmile.Value = true;

    if (pipelineType == PipelineType.HEAD_2_0_HEAD_MOBILE)
    {
        computationParameters.shapeModifications = new ShapeModificationsGroup();
        computationParameters.shapeModifications.cartoonishV1.Value = 0.75f;
    }

    computationParameters.haircuts.AddValue("base/generated");
    return computationParameters;
}
