Quote - I haven't been all that impressed with what I've seen of FaceGen.  It's an awful lot of money for a mono-use 3D app.  Sure, you can generate some great virtual duplicates of people......but at a very high price.  If a relatively low-cost app comes along which does the same thing as FaceGen for a reasonable price, then FaceGen might just find itself out of business.

Could FaceShop Pro be that app.........?  Maybe.

TrueSpace has a built-in face generating function -- and at least with TS, you are getting a full-blown modeling app for the money: not just a restricted-use face creation software package.  On top of which, FaceGen isn't Poser-friendly, either.  You've got to jump through a lot of hoops to create a workable face for V4 -- or any other Poser figure -- using FaceGen.

If they can smooth the wrinkles out of FaceShop Pro (no pun intended): then they'll have an advocate for the program in me.

 

Hi XENOPHONZ
I love your pun (smooth the wrinkles out of FaceShop Pro ), it shows humor and a generous spirit, something that is not shared by a few here.
Yes, indeed, we are smoothing. I hope we can smooth a lot and add a few useful features to 3.5 (due out in the Fall). 
One of the new features I am thinking of is the abilty to create a head, trun it to a new angle AND then go back and re-iterate it again. This woulod be a process where you could refine the intial results using new angles.
Of course I also agree with idea of adding sliders to controll deformity (as applied to specific items).
Pls. sign up for 3.5 beta when it is time:-)
