Features & Capabilities

The 3D head reference for portrait artists, manga creators, and character designers. Hundreds of morphs, an interactive skull, and a diverse face photo library.

Perfect for portrait artists, manga creators, character designers, animators, comic illustrators, concept artists, and anatomy students.

◆ FULLY CUSTOMIZE 3D HEADS Customize every detail with hundreds of morphs. Adjust head shape, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and cheeks to create any face you can imagine — from realistic portraits to stylized anime characters.

◆ TRANSFORM HEADS INTO CREATURES Turn a realistic human head into aliens, vampires, zombies, demons, goblins, or animal hybrids with 20 ready-made creature presets. Built for character designers, concept artists, and storytellers.

◆ EXPRESSIVE FACES 17 facial expression morphs bring your characters to life — happiness, anger, surprise, sadness, fear, and more. Mix and match to create unique emotions for illustrations, animation frames, and storyboards.

◆ INTERACTIVE 3D SKULL Study anatomy with a fully interactive 3D skull. Rotate, zoom, and even open and close the jaw to understand the structure beneath the skin — an essential reference for serious portrait artists and anatomy students.

◆ MANGA HEAD MODE Create expressive manga-style characters with a dedicated stylized head mode — designed for manga, anime, and comic creators.

◆ HUMAN FACE REFERENCE LIBRARY Hundreds of high-quality face photos, categorized by ethnicity: Asian, Black, White, Hispanic, South Asian, and MENA (Middle East and North Africa). Build more inclusive and accurate artwork with diverse, authentic references.

◆ SINGLE & MULTI-VIEW PHOTOS Two reference types: single-view photos for head-on study, and multi-view images showing front, side, and three-quarter angles — perfect for understanding face structure from every direction.

◆ SPLIT VIEW EDITING See your model from two camera angles at the same time. Adjust features and expressions with precision, without constantly rotating the scene.

After iOS, update and app update, I can no longer save or load files. This is truly a bummer as I have now lost all of the models that I was working with.

Still no skin tone options, weird gender locked features.

The longer I’ve had this app the more I hate it. You can not add cultural features to the faces. Examples: non hooded eyes, Greek noses, Native American cheeks bones. It’s very white washed. Changing the expressions is horrible. They are are so far from life like it’s useless to use. When focusing on a specific feature of the face there’s no adjusting it by itself. The over all snap stay the same no mater what you do. I also despise who there are specific male limited features. That makes no sense!!! It makes it impartial/ impossible to create a masculine female face. Do not recommend and it’s a waste of time.
