Blend a portion of the face's image

[seifselmi]

Hello @MarekKowalski, Thank you for this good work it is really impressive.
Now i want to try out making only the eyes appear for example and not the whole face, let's say for example i want to crop from the nose down to the jaw to show only moustache and beard, is there a way to do that i found my self stuck and might need a help.
Thank you in advance.

Hi!

If I remember correctly, the easiest way would be to remove some of the triangles in the 3D face mesh.
You can do that by removing entries in the mesh variable loaded in zad2.py

It might be easier to do this in a graphical way. To do so you would have to save the mesh to a file, for example an obj or ply file format, edit the mesh in, for example MeshLab, save it back and read it in Python. While this might sound hard, it is actually very easy, those file formats are not hard to work with.

Hi Marek,

Thanks for your reply, I actually got it to work by editing the photo of the original face and remove the unwanted parts (eyes, nose, etc ..) using photoshop and save it a png image file, and then blend the modified image and not the original face's image. It might sound weird but this trick worked.
I'll try to do your solution later and learn to play with the mesh.

Thanks.
