Parametric Mooney Face Generator
A simple and graphical tool to generate Mooney faces. This tool generates Mooney faces using fully synthetic face images from a 3D Morphable Face Model. You get full control over parameters like face shape, color, illumination and pose.

Requirements
- installed Java (Version 8.0 or higher recommended)
- installed sbt (only for compiling from sources)
- generate a new folder for this project
- download the Basel Face Model 2019
- download the Basel Illumination Prior 2017
- move the Basel Illumination Prior to the data directory of your generated folder. There should now be a parameters folder in the data directory.
Run (precompiled):
- make sure to fulfil all requirements above
- download
mooney-generator.jar
under release and put it in the same folder as the data folder. - run
java -Xmx2g -jar mooney-generator.jar
- select the model2019_fullHead.h5 file containing the full head Basel Face Model to start
Usage:
- upper random and reset button will update color/shape/expression/Mooney/illumination parameters for active tab
- lower reset button will update all model parameters
- lower random button will update all model parameters except mooney parameters
- the button neutralModel will remove the expression part of the model
- the random illumination button will change the illumination to a random one
- the button
load mooney RPS
will load rendering parameters from a .rps file with shape, color, expression, and mooney - the button 'write mooney RPS' will write the rendering parameters to a .rps file with shape, color, expression, and mooney
- the button
write PLY
enables writing the current instance as a mesh in the ply file format without mooney parameters - the button
export PNG
enables writing the mooney version of the current instance as an image in the png file format - the button
export original PNG
enables writing the original current instance as an image in the png file format - sliders are ordered according to the principal components for shape, color and expressions and spherical harmonics parameters for illumination.
- the maximal parameter value corresponding to the sliders can be adjusted
- press
Ctrl
to move pose with mouse (first click on face to activate the frame)
For Developers:
- clone repository
- compile and run using
