50% CHIMP:


A MAN:

13. Easy!
If you select male as the gender, choose the "Feminise" transformation. Choose "Masculinise" for a female. The transformations seem to be based on how different ethnicities' facial features change over time, by gender, etc.

Experiment with it a bit. You'll find a lot of different ways to change the faces. I put in my face and selected Afro-Caribbean, West Asian, East Asian, and Caucasian. I also took pictures of myself making weird faces. It can get pretty crazy.

Hard to explain, but play around with it and you'll see what I mean.

This is me as an El Greco masterpiece:


My daughter as a Mucha masterpiece:

8. My alma mater.
The most wonderful place on earth (sorry, but each year we had to sign this Latin promise to be jolly nice about the place, and to extol its many many virtues - which I am happy to do anyway).

I always thought that the Comp.Sci. students looked a little odd - I assumed it was normal for Comp.Scientists.

Think of the research that must have gone into making that Java applet.

11. I never can connect, either
I use IrfanView to do a screen cap, then crop out the extraneous stuff to save it.

Try putting in your face and your family's and friends'. My daughter and I played with it for an hour and had a great time!

12. yeah, My nephew and I have really been into it
I just have a crappy webcam though so it doesn't really work great. I did one of myself older and when it popped up it really looked like my dad.

With a quality scanner I bet the results are a LOT better.

14. It was creepy to see myself as an old man
It looked like my grandfather on my dad's side :scared:

My daughter's really took me by surprise. She's only nine, and hers looked so real we had to delete it. My wife and I couldn't stand looking at it!

18. I figured the DU crew would love it
Couldn't understand why it died early on, but I'm glad to see it's getting a little notice. We've had hours of fun with it.

I chose "older adult" initially and did a child transformation. It looked like me at about age 8...with a beard. Laughed so hard I snorted.

20. Not too much
That's kinda how it's supposed to work.

I've always been easily recognizable as my father's son.

It is very cool though.

22. Hit by surprise
Mine was very realistic. I was expecting something funny and kind of cartoonish. What came out was like a window into the future.

24. Wow. Yours is very realistic
Most of the ones that come out are realistic in a portrait type of sense but yours looks like an actual photo.
