Jitter Help

Hi,
I am a brandew Jitter user. I am using Jitter and softVNS for an
intallation.
I am using softVNS to track heads, and then once the head is tracked, I
want to distort the head, much like the effect of the funny mirror. As I
have no background in Jitter, if someone can point me in the right direction
that would be great.
I want to isolate the head from the of the body, so it is only the head that
is being distorted and changed. Hopefully I can enlarge the head and made it
look really scary.

Thanks so much,
Aleigh

I think it will take a while for this new paradigm to sink in for most folks, but we have now have a Jitter forum/mailing list for these sorts of questions. I think it's going to be a little awkward for a while, but if folks could keep an eye out for this sort of thing, that would be great.

I'm going to move this topic into the Jitter forum, which is a more appropriate place for it.

Hi There,
Thanks so much for your answer.

I was wondering if there is a way to modify the face so that it looks like it is really been stretched and distorted, instead of looking like a "special" effect is being applied to it. I am trying to avoid the cheesy tripped out look but instead trying to make it look like I am playing with putty. Attached is a picture of the type of look I am going for.

Thanks so much,
Aleigh
