Attached Link: Singular Inversions
O.K. - To get this moving in the right direction lets clarify one thing, and look toward the horizon.The Face room, contrary to popular demand does not change the surface of a figure's facial geometry. In other words you're not making 3D change/morph. All you are doing is making a 2D texture to work on a figure. If your figures facial features do not really match the person your trying to emulate, in smooth shaded mode(Without any texture,) because you haven't used any magnets or a modeler program, then all the Face room can do is a very good job coloring that over.
Although, the people that e-frontier lease the Face room from(Singular Inversions) do have a program that will make morphs from photos. This program is know as Facegen, is located at the link above. and free a try once. The resulting object is then Importable into Poser, but not into any figure(I know) as a morph. I'm not even sure it has a body, or of you can pick up with it in the Face room. Though the people I've spoken with at Singular Inversions did know to what I was referring when I mentioned Poser characters(but did seem lost when it came to Daz3D...) So, I do know that there is some hope to making the objects compatible as Poser morphs, but(And here's a catch...) only with the purchase of yet another Singular invasions application known as Facegen Customizer.
This was all as of a couple years ago, when I first started getting serious with my first(Daz M2) figure. I knew then I would be using M2 to learn much of Poser/ I then just decided to do what I'm still doing with V3, in waiting for Poser to bring actually incorporate Facegen and Cutomizer. My guess is that e-frontier and singular invision just need time to get it together. There is so much more of Poser to learn I figured I've had time to wait. Now that I'm finally handy with magnets, and have begun work with a modeler, I'll still be holding the Face room at bay until I get through the Hair and Cloth rooms, but I can see where the Face room is a bit frustrating. Especially with how it is just easy to expect it to do everything at first glance.
