I don't like the Face Room.
As others have stated, the F.RM. is limited to P5 characters only. In addition to which: it's frustrating to use. I've only seen a few, extremely rare, examples of anyone actually achieving good results with the Face Room.
Perhaps a few individuals -- through hard work and loads of patience -- have been able to do something with the F.RM.. Personally, I'm too lazy to expend lots of effort on little return.
Basically, the F.RM. uses an extremely crippled version of a program known as FaceGen, from a company called Singular Inversions.
FaceGen itself is expensive software. The advanced versions of the program require remote system access for customized face generation. IMHO -- taken together, these facts make FaceGen next to useless.
Mind you -- I've seen one or two examples of excellent results through the use of FacGen. But only one or two. Perhaps somebody is creating tons of faces using FaceGen -- but I haven't seen it.
Most of us don't care to pay the $500.00+ penalty for those kinds of results.
It's easier, as has been suggested -- to purchase copies of Laura/V3/S3, and their respective morph packages.
You can do wonders with the DAZ figures. Relatively painlessly, too.
And for a lot less than $1000.00.
