Quote - > Quote - But your still stuck with using crapy jointed figures except Apollo. That's the bottom line and the best selling point of FaceShop. Your not limited in figure use. You can even use the poser figures with FS if you really wanted to.
I didn't submit that link as a knock against FSP. It was just posted to show that the face room isn't as bad as people have been saying given the skill and effort to make it work as this person has shown.
I agree with some points.
However, the limitations in Faceroom are many as pointed out.
Beside the fact that you are limited to Poser figures Faceroom normally it assumes that you have two (2) mugshots, front and side. Following from this, the biggest limitation in Faceroom is that the system assumes total front and total side shots. If you have anything else, say a 3/4 portrait or even worse, a head that tilts slightly up or down, you are completely screwed. Since all dots move mirrored, you can't move one side of the head differently than the other. This is really a major limitation and was one of the reasons for us for developing FaceShop.
In real life you simply don't find too many mugshots - most photos are either slightly turned or rotated from center.
