Xantor, Im encouraged to hear you've gotten good results with the face room. I'd love to see them, I might take a second look at it if I saw something worthwhile produced by it. Penguin and Keihan bring up good points. Why would anyone want to make a celebrity clone? Well, they are universally recognizable people. I can clone my 6th grade math teacher, but no matter how much convincing I do, you'll never really know if I nailed it or not. The most recocnizable feature of any person is their face, it is how the human mind memorizes people. So if we both know what Abraham Lincoln looks like then I'll get busy cloning him and skip my 6th grade math teacher. This is strictly an exercise in art and technology. A 3D clone is like a digital sculpture, a virtual extension of our physical selves. Who is cloned is not nearly as important as HOW they are cloned. So for anyone who's ever wanted to, CeeBee and myself have found a way.
