Non Human faces

I was wanting to do a swap with with a Disney animal character (from the jungle book) and a real face (mine). The problem is, I can't extract the animal face from the video. It sees the human characters, but not the animal ones.

I tried a search for nonhuman, Disney, and animal and all that came up was:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=129&p=406&hilit=animal#p406

But that just has the line "(Dfaker == Villian) > Unbalanced > (DFL-H128 == Original ) > Lightweight in my personal opinion... IAE is its own special animal."

Which isn't anything to do with what I'm trying to do.

Is what I'm trying to do even possible with this software?

Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated. I feel that if I could just get it to extract from the film, it would be set.

Ultimately our extract code is specifically designed to work with faces. To get aligned non-human characters, you'd either need to find an AI, prebuilt, that will generate 68 point landmarks for animated characters (unlikely one would exist), or manually annotate 68 point landmarks on every frame you want to extract the face from (not feasible).

That's a long way of saying, you're basically out of luck. Sorry.

No worries, I figured that would be the case. On the plus side, it does pick up human animated characters. It just won't do things like Baloo.
