Face Model: 3D Head Reference - App Store

The 3D head reference built for artists, not engineers. Shape any face with hundreds of morphs, study a real anatomical skull, and browse hundreds of categorized face photos - all in one app on your iPad.

Perfect for portrait artists, manga creators, character designers, animators, comic illustrators, concept artists, and anatomy students.

◆ FULLY CUSTOMIZE 3D HEADS
Customize every detail with hundreds of morphs. Adjust head shape, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and cheeks to create any face you can imagine - from realistic portraits to stylized anime characters.

◆ TRANSFORM HEADS INTO CREATURES
Turn a realistic human head into aliens, vampires, zombies, demons, goblins, or animal hybrids with 20 ready-made creature presets. Built for character designers, concept artists, and storytellers.

◆ EXPRESSIVE FACES
17 facial expression morphs bring your characters to life - happiness, anger, surprise, sadness, fear, and more. Mix and match to create unique emotions for illustrations, animation frames, and storyboards.

◆ INTERACTIVE 3D SKULL
Study anatomy with a fully interactive 3D skull. Rotate, zoom, and even open and close the jaw to understand the structure beneath the skin - an essential reference for serious portrait artists and anatomy students.

◆ MANGA HEAD MODE
Create expressive manga-style characters with a dedicated stylized head mode - designed for manga, anime, and comic creators.

◆ HUMAN FACE REFERENCE LIBRARY
Hundreds of high-quality face photos, categorized by ethnicity: Asian, Black, White, Hispanic, South Asian, and MENA (Middle East and North Africa). Build more inclusive and accurate artwork with diverse, authentic references.

◆ SINGLE & MULTI-VIEW PHOTOS
Two reference types: single-view photos for head-on study, and multi-view images showing front, side, and three-quarter angles - perfect for understanding face structure from every direction.

◆ SPLIT VIEW EDITING
See your model from two camera angles at the same time. Adjust features and expressions with precision, without constantly rotating the scene.

◆ FLEXIBLE LIGHTING
Control lighting angle and intensity to shape mood and form - ideal for dramatic portrait references or anatomy studies.
