Mug Swapping challenge
Risto will hate me for this - I can live with that.
The ease & power of XaraXtreme slicing, feathering, blending and XPE bitmap tools can produce amazingly convincing yet simple face montages.
I reckon no-one will guess all ten Hollywood stars here, but please prove me wrong :)
Happy Easter Friday!

Re: Mug Swapping challenge
Haven't got the foggiest at the moment, but they're brilliantly done :)

Re: Mug Swapping challenge
Can you tell me where slicing comes into play? I have never really used slicing at all and not sure what it accomplishes.

Re: Mug Swapping challenge
Hi Bob.
I'd better not take the thread Off Topic by begining a discussion on Xara tools.
For now have a look at Xara Xtreme Movies - in particular under heading Changing objects
• Slicing objects

Re: Mug Swapping challenge
Thank you. I was just looking in the Zone and couldn't find anything. I never thought of looking in the movie section.
Great thread, by the way. I believe I see a little Andy Griffith in number 3, but not sure of the second face in 3.

Re: Mug Swapping challenge
Sledger, not to take this off-topic anymore than I already have but I must give you a huge THANK YOU for getting me to look more into slicing and editing. I had previously thought slicing was only for uploading smaller pieces to a site and/or image mapping, but since you mentioned you used it in these face "blends" I started playing around with mixing features of my own face with other peoples' faces. Slicing makes this SO MUCH EASIER. Thank you, again. Another new world to explore in a tool I have used for years. Actually, another thread on the topic of slicing and all it can do would be invaluable.

Re: Mug Swapping challenge
#2 is Denzel
#3 is Tim Allen
#5 I know but can't pull the name out of my brain so i guess that doesn't count.

Re: Mug Swapping challenge
Good morning.. Ok, some correct answers here.
I'll list the names which are incorrect:
Andy Griffith / Brad Pitt / Robert Redford / Owen Wilson / Halle Berry / Tim Allen / George Clooney / Orson Welles
Just so we know that you aren't randomly pulling names out of the air hoping for a match, I'd prefer to see the answers applied to photo numbers as Bob & Gms9810 have done.
Here's a smaller version of the image to save scrolling to the top.

Re: Mug Swapping challenge
#2 Eddie Murphy & O.J. Simpson
#3 Lorne Greene & Adam Savage
I have no idea about the rest.

Re: Mug Swapping challenge
Again, only incorrect answers listed here:
Eddie Murphy / O.J. Simpson / Lorne Greene / Adam Savage

Re: Mug Swapping challenge

Nice contest + great work!

Bob, I should mention that using FBI forensic face'n'skull-mapping software isn't allowed :p
Nicole Kidman

Re: Mug Swapping challenge
OJ Simpson and Scarlett Johansson? I believe (not shown in your photo) she is wearing his glove.....
-
Re: Mug Swapping challenge
Woo-hoo! :)
Okay, I'm going to take one more shot at #5. :cool:
This time I'm going on the hunch that perhaps you've been a bit sneaky and gone with Scarlett Johansson's most recent co-star, and say Natalie Portman + Scarlett Johansson.
If that's not right, then 3 out of 5 ain't bad :D

You would probably be an excellent team member for that board game that has a picture of an Equus asinus on the box Bob ;) :D
-
Re: Mug Swapping challenge
Well played, Bob.
Saludos,
Bob.

Re: Mug Swapping challenge
well done Bob - this equus asinus got nowhere :D
-
Re: Mug Swapping challenge
Hahahaha. Great job, Bob, and a great idea for a thread. Lots of fun. (Yikers! There's certainly a lot of Bobs in this thread!)

Re: Mug Swapping challenge
Hollywood brings out the best in Bob's obviously :D
BTW, Bob [Hahn] - spent a happy five minutes or so watching your avatar earlier on ... nice one! No, I'm not sad or bored ... it's just so good :D
-
Re: Mug Swapping challenge
Yeah! :)
I don't know if I would of got Scarlett Johansson, but it helped that it was guessed already. So there was a connection with the two faces of #5 :)
That was fun.

Re: Mug Swapping challenge
I certainly was fun.. I had a good laugh while I was creating them.. Not only at those I chose for the challenge, but those I discarded.
Thanks all for joining in, and to Bob and John for solving them.
You guys always amaze me.
I know it's been done to death by 'Photoshoppers' - but XaraXtreme is so much faster and easier at this sort of thing.
As mentioned in my quick mini-tutorial on how I created those Mug-Swaps, you are not restrited to just people or to black and white images..
Here's a canine approach to two of those stars..
Why not have a go and post your results??
Have fun ;)
