Publisher's description of Living Picture Maker Web Edition
Living Picture Maker Web Edition automatically transforms any 2D digital photograph into a 3D talking character. LivingPictures allows you to take any 2D image be it human, animal or an animate object, such as a cuddly toy. Using a simple interface, simply locate the head outline, eyes and mouth and then you're ready to make your picture talk. Use either a pre-created WAV file or the inbuilt recording feature to record your own message. The software automatically creates a lip-synched character. The saved file can then be sent as a message via e-mail or published on your Web site as a personalized Web site host.

Editor's review of Living Picture Maker Web Edition
stars
- "Living Picture Maker Web Edition"
- Version reviewed: Living Picture Maker Web Edition 1.0.0.119
In spite of its modest download size, Living Picture Maker Web Edition creates quite realistic--and amusing--animations based on a JPEG photo and WAV audio file. Making an animation is a snap. You can easily adjust the face contours to match most photos, from front-facing people to animal profiles. The only noticeable visual flaw is the teeth, which look fake. However, the flaw is not very evident on smaller Web animations. You can set how often your photo subject blinks and how it rotates its head and moves its lips. The program saves your creations as compact self-playing EXEs or as Web pages.
Our biggest problem with the program was its stability. When we twice tried sending the animation from the Send button, both the program and Outlook crashed. That wreaks havoc with the three-use trial. Also, the program only works with uncompressed WAVs, so a lot of the ones we grabbed from the Web wouldn't work. Still, just about anyone can have fun with Living Picture Maker Web Edition.

Summary: Have had endless hours of fun with this package that does exactly what it says on the tin! The only quibble I would have is that you can't create a movie file from what you do (have managed to get round this by using screen capture software). Any ch... read more >>
