You will
get the best results when scanning in natural, neutral lighting with no harsh shadows or highlights. Try to brush hair back or use a hairband to hold any hair away from the forehead. Note: This will not work with long facial hair or accessories.

3. BeginMetahuman yourFacial scan.Animation

Once your
subject is ready, you can begin the scanning process. The scan works by you taking multiple pictures of the subject from different angles. The software will then build a model from your photographs. Be sure to take pictures from many different angles while holding the phone steady.

  1. Try to get a low angle so the chin area is captured correctly.
  2. Get a few wide angle pictures so that the sides are captured correctly.
  3. It is common for a scan to require 50+ pictures so don't worry if you think you are taking too many. The more pictures you take, the more accurate your scan will be.
  4. Make sure your subject maintains a neutral expression and does not move. Your scan will not be accurate if your subject moves too much.
