Do you need to create a very realistic, caricatured, or cartoon head? Whatever ethnicity or gender you want to create, Facial Studio will assist you in this now made-easy task of creating heads.

Several years of research brings you Facial Studio as a suite of plug-ins that gives you more than 500 controls over the head creation process, you can deform anything from the eyes, nose, mouth, jaw, chin, ears, cheeks, forehead, eyebrows to the overall head shape including teeth and tongue, as well as controlling the shading, texturing, wrinkle deformations and muscle animation.

Facial Studio does not use a simple linear morphing approach like some other head generation tools, in fact Facial Studio is not only a modeling tool, but it's a suite of tools that help you in that holy grail quest of creating facial animation, in less time than ever before. From modeling to muscles-based deformations, including Texture Maps Libraries and a lot more.

Facial Studio for Windows supports FBX file format, which will export the head and its shapes (commonly known as morph targets or blend shapes) as well as the textures to your favorite 3D application such as 3ds Max, Maya, SoftImage XSI, Cinema 4D, LightWave etc.
