I just tried to create a cat face for the Mil Cat using FaceShop Pro with terrible results.  The OBJ I imported into the program cut the cats ears off.  In real life, the cat actually had part of his left ear cut off by whoever had him before me.

The texture BMP didn't look anything like it should.  Am I to assume we can only work with M3 and V3/V4 in the Pro version as well as the basic version?

The product description says you can use "any" figure.  Obviously it was never tested on all figures (which would be impossible), but I would assume at least the DAZ Millenium figures.  It also doesn't work well with Apollo 2007 if you are using a photograph of  a man with a beard.  The beard figure is not available for the 2007 version and I was hesitant to use the 2005 version because it doesn't fit Apollo 2007.  The resulting texture map cuts off everything below the nose except the mouth.

Maybe I'm expecting too much.  I do think the program has great potential, but is far from being ready for primetime, or maybe just Poser.  I wonder if I'd have better results using DAZ Studio.

 

Hmmm. I tried FS Pro with the P7 Dog and found the following:

Best to export the dog with similar morphs than the photo. (What I mean is that on the photo of a German Sheppard the dogs mouth was open - so I used the dials to open the mouth before exporting. Similarly, in the photo the ears were pricked up, so I did same on the morph before exporting.
I got relatively nice results. Unlike with humans, this needs a lot of experimenting - so, patience is advised. However, animals can work. 
(BTW: we did remove the reference to many animals in the product page, exacctly because some animals were not tested at all).
