If I were going to pony up $30-50, I'd be pulling PhilC's Toolbox into my cart, or finally getting CorrectReference. Face Off Pro looks, sounds, and probably feels and smells like a Face room wannabe with absolutely no distinguishing characteristics... a Mikey Mouse hoping to scam a few bucks from the real franchise. And it has the Face room's limitations -- in other words, the "instant textures" are the only thing that really matches the original head, and they are a mess. Mess, no mesh: what marketing genius! Plagiarism of the godly, spinning the dumbth of others into iron pyrite.
There's another thread that talks about -- and demonstrates -- that the texture's accuracy provides something like 80-90% of the visual cues for a celebrity "head." I don't completely buy that (although I think I suggested it in the first place), because colorless death masks are instantly recognizable. But certainly the "well-hung fruit" ready to be grabbed by a Poser wannabe is accurate textures.
