I've been using different software for <a href="http://make-a-cartoon.com/make-a-cartoon-you" rel="nofollow">3d avatars</a> but I'll have to give all of these other companies a look.

Wait.. nah. Nevermind. That's crazy talk. For the most part, I'm just unimpressed with what's already out there. Big Stage is late releasing their avatars, so I don't know exactly how much more impressive they'll be. But I suppose your porn use-case would be as good a litmus test as any. Odd facial expressions, etc. Spamuel: You do realize it’s possible for journalists to write positively about companies without having been paid off, right?

Come On, People! "all it needs are three face shots taken by a standard digital camera, from three slightly different angles". Three face shots will kill their conversions. No Consumer in the world will find and upload not 1, not 2 but 3 photos - good luck while you blow water. Big Stage’s huge issue will be asking users to upload three photos!!! Come On, People!

Yes exactly. JibJab doing the right thing. Consumers do not care technology. They only care and engage with products that appeal to them in terms of entertainment or other motives. Consumers do not care whether you create a technology on statistical modelling of human faces, Face recognition, computer vision bla bla bla.... If you do not take this into consideration you will end up with a dozen patents, a few geeks using your site and burned millions of dollars in the name of "Technology" “We blow them out of the water on two levels” Keep up the good work and continue to blow out from competition. “And, to be fair to JibJab, it’s more focused on creating amusing content than technology.”
