Making "bald" head window

Making "bald" head window [ Previous ] [ Contents ] [ Up ] [ Next ]

If you click on the icon "Make “bald” head" located in the Actions toolset, this window will appear. This function makes it possible to remove your model's existing hairstyle and thus make it easier to try on new hairstyles without having the original hair showing. The process of forming a “bald” head consists of two stages: you first remove the existing hair and then you reconstruct the head's natural form. The window's work area displays the model's image. If the portrait is bigger than the work area, you can use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to shift the image

Stage 1:

At first you will see an "Eraser mode" icon and a slider for changing the size of the eraser. The aim of the first stage is to remove the existing hairstyle with the help of eraser. To erase an existing hairstyle move the cursor over the area to be erased while holding down the left mouse button. If you hold down the right mouse button instead, the area you have erased will be restored. When you are finished, click on the "Eraser mode" icon to go on to the second stage.

Stage 2:

The aim of this stage is to reconstruct the natural form of the head. An ellipse will appear superimposed over the image to help you reconstruct the form of the head. You can change the size of the ellipse by moving the rectangle which frames the ellipse. To move the ellipse within the work area, place the cursor inside it, click with the left mouse button and, keeping it pressed, move the ellipse to desired position. To move the chord bisecting the ellipse, move the intersection points of the chord and the sides of the rectangle that frames the ellipse. This chord defines the bottom of the area over which the bald head will be formed. When the ellipse has been set in the right place and has the right shape, click on the icon "Make “bald” head" . If you are not satisfied with the results and want to return to the first stage click on "Bald head mode" icon , otherwise click on OK .
