Face Image Relighting Using A Morphable Model

http://cg.skeelogy.com/face-image-relighting/
In this project, we are trying to relight a face in a 2D image, given only a single image. The 3D face model is obtained first by using a morphable model. The matching/optimization then starts to find the best weights for the morphing. Finally, we relight the synthesized 3D model and composite it back onto the 2d image to obtain the results.

I have facegen, but it is very differnt. I have to plot points on a face, then it doesnt look like me in the end. How can I do it your way?

The program that I created was for a school project in school that was written from scratch in OpenGL. Not sure how I can help you, but you probably need to find another program other than FaceGen that can do what you need. If you are savvy with computer graphics/vision programming, you can try implementing this by going through the 1999 Blanz and Vetter paper.

can i download it?

@AlbExVideos Unfortunately it's a school project and it's not available for download

So since you now have a 3D map of the face, you could build a 3D model of it, correct?

[skeelogy]

It is not just a 3D map, it is already a 3D model of the face. We could rotate the head, make the face smile etc if we wanted to.

ooh, I'm interested in programming but that would be waaay too hard :(
