| | 8 | (mapping templates to images):[[BR]] |
| | 9 | * load image in template window[[BR]] |
| | 10 | * random template should load on top of image and can be manipulated cross-by-cross to outline image features[[BR]] |
| | 11 | * if random template is too far off from image, go to template menu, select 'Auto Delineation', 'ASM AutoDelineate' and then select "****.asm". follow the instructions it gives.[[BR]] |
| | 12 | * important crosses:[[BR]] |
| | 13 | - two crosses below bottom of ear should be placed to indicate where neck joins chin (bottom of ear: where cheek and ear lines join)[[BR]] |
| | 14 | - 2 line-less crosses, one for each eye, should be in centre of each pupil[[BR]] |
| | 15 | - for lips, red line(TOP lip) should be along bottom of top lip and blue line(BOTTOM lip) along top of bottom lip[[BR]] |
| | 16 | - lowest hair points should connect to the shoulder where neck and shoulder seem to merge[[BR]] |
| | 17 | - nostrils each have one cross on inside, and one indicating where the nostril surround connects to upper lip area, there should be three other crosses outlining outside of lower nose[[BR]] |
| | 18 | * make sure that NO LINES CROSS, especially in/around eyes [[BR]] |
| | 19 | * when the template is complete, save as "template" not as "image"[[BR]] |

| | 28 | * when you have saved, go back to the "average" menu and select "average images..." and click on the txt file[[BR]] |
| | 29 | * this will merge all the faces you have in the txt file together[[BR]] |
