★ ★ ★ Grimace Overview

       

What is Grimace? Grimace is an app that helps users understand and visualize different emotions by showing them what facial expressions look like. It allows users to pick from six emotions and set the intensity for one emotion or a combination of their choosing. The app is designed to be simple and easy to use, with a comic-style interface that focuses on the key facial features that convey emotions.



Software Features and Description

1. We use a simple comic style and only show facial features that convey emotions.

2. Grimace may help those with Asperger syndrome or other conditions on the autistic spectrum to better understand emotions.

3. For artists, Grimace can serve as reference library for facial expressions.

4. The most important ones are the eyes, eyebrows, the mouth and the wrinkles that form when facial muscles are contracted.

5. The facial expression immediately changes to show what the emotion looks like.

6. Pick from joy, surprise, fear, sadness, disgust and anger and set the intensity for one emotion or a combination of your choosing.

7. Facial expressions are the universal language through which we communicate how we feel.

8. We leave out as much as possible so you can focus on these key features and you can see the emotion more clearly.

9. Grimace shows you what emotions look like.

10. It can help anyone become more empathetic by becoming a better observer of their peers.

11. The design is based on the book Making Comics by Scott McCloud.

Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Great app. Fun and useful.

    By Arielledross (Pcmac user)

    Hi I heard about this app at a Scott McCloud talk and was fascinated by the concept of being able to break down all facial expressions into such a small number of emotions. As an artist, I think it's a useful tool but I can see how people with Aspergers or other autism spectrum disorders might find this useful as well. The one downside is that it took me a while to figure out that you need to tilt the screen into landscape mode to access the facial controls. That should be made clearer. Other than that, awesome app!!!
  • Wonderful!

    By Manic Folklore (Pcmac user)

    I also found this through Scott McCloud's "Making Comics". The app itself is a clean interactive version of my favorite part of Scott's book. I'll definitely be using this as an art tool. Thank you so much for your great work on this app.
  • Excellent reminder!

    By Armygayle83 (Pcmac user)

    This app isn't a substitute for observation(buy a mirror, folks), but it's a wonderful resource when you are out and about and don't want to scare people by making weird and bizarre faces at random reflective surfaces. Let this app do that for you! The blending is very smooth, great for nailing the subtleties. The only thing that I wish it had was the ability to mix more than 2 base expressions. Totally worth $0.99!!
  • Excellent reference!

    By Rani Sarah (Pcmac user)

    This was recommended to me at a convention in January, but I only just now got it. It really helps me to construct expressions, and convey emotion in my drawings. It's excellent, and highly recommended. The simplicity is what makes it great!
