I look like Danny DeVito and never feel represented. How far into cursed territory can I go with the sliders?
TL;DRThe sliders go as far as the processed head scans allow, and the head pool is expected to grow greatly soon, so most people should be able to approximate themselves; no actual celebrity was scanned.
I mean, they go as far as the processed head scans will go. And already I'm thinking, because right now we just have the group of heads, 9 to 15 or whatever, that pool is going to explode. It is going to get so big and so awesome so soon. I can already think of a head that looks very close to Danny DeVito. So I think you're going to be able to represent yourself in the near future.
Yeah, it's funny that this question is asked, because when we started out with this gene pool initiative, which is closely related to the DNA system, having more variety in there, we made a big reference matrix of heads and different head types that we wanted represented. And most of them have obviously been celebrities, public figures, politicians, all kinds of people that pretty much everybody will know and recognize. And one of them happened to be Danny DeVito. And yeah, like Forrest said, we've scanned all kinds of different shapes. I wouldn't want to say extreme, but the DNA system is the most efficient when it covers all the edge cases and then can interpolate between those. So we have very, very slim and skinny and narrow faces. We have super wide and heavy faces. We have very angular faces, super masculine. We have all the types you can imagine for various ethnicities. Yeah, I just need to process them all. Once that comes in, you'll be able to approximate most people pretty well, I would say.
Yeah, I mean, it's amazing what you can already do now. And this is nothing compared to what you will be able to do in the near future, for sure, most definitely. And Andreas has actually spent a long time, before we even did the scan, going through all the heads to ensure that we have the best range possible. So massive work went into ensuring that the pool is as diverse as possible, because we want to be able to create everyone.
I feel the need to clarify that Danny DeVito is not part of the project. He was not scanned. It's simply like you see on any kind of inspo board. We want faces like Danny DeVito's.
I think it's also not a CIG stance that Danny DeVito would be cursed in any way. We'd love Danny DeVito.
