Hi pakled,

Please forgive da NaySayGuy as his IQ rivals the number of fingers on his left hand ... or maybe it was his right hand ... I can't remember which. ... ;=]

The Face Shop software (not Poser) takes a 2D photo of a human head, calculates and then creates and applies a 2D texture map to the 3D head object.  The 3D head OBJect and the 2D texture map can then be exported for use in other programs.

The Face Room (part of Poser5, 6, and 7) takes an existing 3D mesh object (the head) in Poser and has the capability to morph or modify the "physical" shape as well as create and apply a texture map from the front and side views of a human head. The modified head and texture map are used inside of Poser.  Note - The Face Room may be used with or without the front and side views of the head.

These are highly abbreviated explanations of what each does but may help explain the basic differences.

Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"

cheers,

dr geep ... :o]
