Not limiting to the rich, famous or legends, people also fancy making universe of alterations to their own faces; just for the sake of fun.
In short people just love, doing the above to them and to the people they are curious about, adore or respect.
But picking up a sketch pen and newspaper was not always very easy.
That’s why, two former Valve Software game developers, Kelly Bailey and Mike Dussault, have released a new iOS application called Morfo 3D Face Booth, which allows anyone with an iPhone or iPad to turn photos of themselves, famous individuals or others into talking characters, who can move their heads following users finger, don a weird hair style, beard, makeup, tone, facial feature etc. Watch the video below to get a fair idea of what the app is capable of accomplishing:
