Half an hour of 80’s cartoon intros.

 

Take a nostalgic visit down memory lane with this video containing 30 minutes of random 80’s cartoon openings. Watch the video and see if you can name them all.

Online face morphing.

Two links for you today. First up, we’ve got The St. Andrews University Face Transformer , a nifty Java app that will let you upload any face you want from your computer and then morphs its physiology, shifting its age, gender and even ethnicity.

Here’s a feminised Brad Pitt, for example.

The program is easy to use, and quick. Here’s a full list of the morphs available – baby, child, teenage, young adult, older adult, Afro-Carribean, Caucasian, East Asian, West Asian, Feminisation; then we have three art-style morphs, changing faces into the portrait styles of Modigliani, Botticelli and El Greco. You can also see your face in the style of a Manga Cartoon, an Apeman, or even drunk.

 

The great strength of this program is the attention it takes to detail. Look at the shimmer given to Brad’s eyes; the thinning of the eyebrows; the rouging of his lips.

 

 

 

 

 

 Secondly, here’s Symface for you. It works similarly to the Transformer. You upload a photo, choose the centre-line of the face, and it’ll show you what the face would look like if it was absolutely symmetrical. Here’s Brad to show you what I mean.

 

 Happy morphing, everybody.
