Newer versions of Facegen do not require you to have to mail your pics anywhere (versions 3.1 +, I think). Everything is done right there on your pc, though it takes a while...and devours your processor for a little while.

Glad to hear that they've fixed that. The requirement for e-mailing your images off to them -- and then having to pay a per-head fee -- was a HUGE negative against the program, IMO.

Devouring my processor time I can handle.

I've set facegen up to work on V3 and M3 by replacing their heads with a default facegen head. Now all I have to do is import 1 morph and change the textures and whammo! Instant look-a-like (or pretty close). I have to be honest though, setting up those meshes so there's no neckline is a pain in the ass, to say the least. Well worth the effort once you've got it though.

$1000 is still a hefty price for a single-use program, IMO. I can make good clone faces for a lot less than $1000. It can be a pain to do....time consuming. But it works. And without having to pay the $1000 penalty.

Well.....to each their own.

I see the potential of FaceGen. It's a program that I'd consider purchasing -- if my internal price vs. value balance meter didn't tilt over the $$$$$$$.

Personally, I'd rather spend the bucks on other things....like Poser content. I can do heads without FaceGen.
