Face Image

The Face Image object attaches a 2D textured plane to your head.

Create the Face Image​

To create a Face Image effect, first click the "+" button in the Scene Hierarchy panel. Then, select Face -> Face Image.

Assign Texture to the Image​

First, drag and drop your texture into your Asset Browser panel. Assign your newly added texture to your Face Image object. Select your Face Image object in the Scene Hierarchy panel. Then, in the Inspector panel, open the Material inline inspector (by clicking on the settings icon next to the Material field), and assign Texture field with your newly added texture.

Position the Face Image​

The Face Image object is a 2D object. Double clicking on the new Face Image object automatically opens the Face Image Editor panel, which allows you to visually edit the object. In the Face Image Editor panel, drag your Image around the visual editor to position it on the head. You can scale the Image by dragging the bounding box edges or corners.

You can rotate your Face Image object by hovering your mouse over the Image corner. Your mouse will turn into a rotation handle. Click and drag your mouse to rotate the Image.

By default, Align to Camera is not enabled on new Face Images. When this is enabled, the Image will always face the camera and not rotate with the head. To disable, simply uncheck Align to Camera
