OK...

Try this out. I went to China for work, and foudn this jewel. Yes, the web page is in Mandarin, but you just clickedy click away, and if a tiny bit proficient on PC, you can figure it out.

First landing page is notice about reducing security somewhat for active x. You can import a face on view of your self, and it will map ur face, and make a cartoon. I expect that after this beta version, it will go ont he main web site soon.

Outside of China ( only 1 billion ) and my family, not many know yet......

Enjoy.

Turn pic into cartoon

p..s it may possibly not work with firefox, need to use explorer.

Go to a Chinese MSN website - with MS Exploder - and lower my security settings?

I don't think so

Interesting but not particularly good... they made me look like Marc Almond.

Need a good face on pic, not broad side. Also need to put ur head in the uppper middle part of the frame.

You can crop it so your face is in the frame just like a passport pic. I fiddled for a while. Just cant add wrinkles for realism though! Just like biometric regognition, it traces your face outlines....... <deleted>, maybe its a CIA job ?

Here's me and Marc... or was that Marc and me??? These Chinese have a bit of a sense of humour i think...

As in my case, and improvement !!! LOL

Can see the resemblance for sure

I tried two very different pictures and got the same results

Well.... its 4 free and a bit of fun. Every one i know who I have chatted with ( I have it as my Yahoo avtar" all said they could clearly see it was me.... "but more like you were 20 years ago" was their exact quote !
