Geometric face animation

julia93

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to achieve this kind of geometric animation in Processing: (from 1.05 until 1.10). I don't want exactly this, but I want to use this on my personal website (except facing forward instead of sideways but that doesn't matter). Any idea how I would go about this (perhaps you also have ideas about the Photoshop/Illustrator part to capture my face)? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the link, that looks like a great resource! However, I am not a member of Creative Applications Network so I can't read the article :(

I can't play the video... it is not available in my country :-w Who won the Eurovision this time btw? Hmm could you post a couple of screen shots if possible showing the effect?

is that just triangulating based on areas of similar colour?

looks like delauney triangulation. maybe use the mesh library:

Do the triangles move? Do they react to the music? Or they just adapt to the shape of the face and keep track of it?

the video is deliberately glitchy but it moves with the face (although not much). it looks like it's just colour based so just do one frame at a time.

Agreed that this calls for the mesh library. Delauney -- or possibly it might be Voronoi?

I can't tell from the image how the point set is being generated from the video pixels. Local minima / maxima, or standard deviation? Some of the points are a bit off -- that might be lag...?
