Welcome to this tutorial, where we dive into face-specific effects in VDMX powered by Apple’s Vision SDK and CoreML. We’ll explore how to blur faces, create face overlays, and experiment with pixelation to build dynamic, real-time visuals.
1. Blur Faces
Function: Automatically detects and blurs faces.
Customization:
Adjust blur intensity and radius.
Crossfade to isolate the face or invert the mask.
Example: Perfect for anonymizing faces or adding a dreamy, surreal aesthetic to your visuals.
2. Face Overlay
Function: Duplicates and stacks faces onto other layers.
Usage:
Combine with live input or pre-recorded footage.
Adjust size, position, and blend modes for unique results.
3. Pixelate Faces (Beta)
Function: Pixelates detected faces.
Note: This effect is experimental and may glitch with multiple faces.
Potential Use: Add a retro, 8-bit aesthetic or obscure identities in a stylized way.
4. Creative Stacking and Modular Effects
Layer Count: Add unlimited layers to compound effects.
Experiment: Stack effects, tweak settings, and discover unique combinations.
Wrap-Up
VDMX’s modular approach lets you craft complex visual experiences, perfect for performances, installations, or experimental art. If you create something cool, tag the team on social media (Instagram / YouTube) or share your work in the forums!
