Lacks features but still an achievement – Mug Life - 3D Face Animator Review

This app is good for simple animations on simple faces (which is still a towering achievement of 3D mapping and animation) but it sorely lacks necessary features to push it to the true pro level. The app seems narrowly targeted at people who want to make silly memes but it's capable of much more if only the developers tried to make it into more of a tool. 1. No way to set video or gif frame sizes. They arbitrarily downscale the input. If my device has the power for it, it should be possible to increase the resolution or override it under power-user settings. 2. No way to freeze parts of the images e.g. overlapping hair, objects etc. get animated along with the face and there's no way to stop this. Need an implementation of a freeze mask like in the Photoshop liquify tool. 3. Need ways to animate non-face objects. Some more geometry wireframes than just the face would help greatly. 4. Need more control on the alignment points. There too rough, likely by design to cater to simple usage.
