Filipino-Australians join 3D cartoon trend

Filipino-Australians are joining the social media’s recent craze: posting 3D cartoon versions of themselves. Filipinos back home are likewise going gaga on the latest cartoon trend.

The Voilà AI artist app gives users a 3D cartoon version of themselves when they upload their photos on the app.

Filipino-Australians are enjoying the outcome of the three filters: Royalty 3D, Baby 3D, and Cartoon 3D.

Joining the trend is GMA journalist Jessica Soho. Within seven hours of posting in the “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho” Facebook account, the television host’s page generated more than 200K engagements, 3,252 shares, and nearly 37.7K comments. Jessica commented on her cartoon image: “”Siyempre ‘di puwedeng pahuli, Mare!”

The Voilà AI artist app offers four ways to create your own cartoon: 3D cartoon, Renaissance, 2D cartoon, and Caricature.
