Ok, I took Treck Grrls Sugestion. I got as far as I could with mike 2 made a morph out of it and transfered to Borus. Played and fussed and picked. Now it is your turn. This is as close to William H Macy as I have gotten. The chin is juust a bit wide and the top of the nose bridge is too, but other that that pick away and let me know what I can do to make it better.

Wow.. I am new to poser and already know how hard it must be to make a model look like someone real. I think you have done incredibly well.

The geometry looks very good. Your chin is more "youthful" than the photo-- not just wider. As people age, the connective tissue in the skin becomes less robust, and skin appears to "hang" on the bone, instead of maintaining its own gel-like connectivity. Your nose tip seems slightly pointed, and your browridge is "stronger" than the photo. Note the vertical furrow on brow directily between eyes in the photo. . . Lines below eyes are slightly different in photo than your render That said, you could texture and render something pretty close to photorealistic with this mesh, I'd imagine. . . most of appearance isn't really in the mesh, its in the texturing. . .getting the mesh "close enough" is good enough to start. It looks like you're rendering in P4-- do you have access to a better renderer?

"most of appearance isn't really in the mesh, its in the texturing. . .getting the mesh "close enough" is good enough to start." Good advice. I think the head is still a teensy bit too long and an adjustment there will make every thing gradually fit. But texture, indeed will make all the difference. No more caricature, this is reality, amazing work. Emily

Hey, thanks to all for feed back on this one and all the preceding. I think with some minor tweaking I am there on the mesh. I am starting on the texture map actually( finding good usable hi rez shots of Mr Macy are quite difficult), I have already stared on the bump map. The long Cheek "dimple" are done with a B-map, neither mike or borus can do that one. Very soon I think I will have my Bill Macy Homunculous ready to do my bidding.(sick Huh?)and then I will move on to Bob Hoskins, Richard Karn ,Tom Seleck, and the grand finale, Sean Connery!!! Never guess I was a movie and tv buff would you. Tony
