Laslo ... I think FaceShop has a LOT of potential, which is one of the reasons I tried to like it. I like that it can use any figure, but my main area of disappointment is the resulting morph.

After you said that FaceShop 4 had a morph brush, I went to look at the videos. I see a lot of changes have been added since I stopped using FaceShop, which is good!  It's heading in the right direction.

Now ... the application goes a long way in TRYING to achieve the proper face shape. And with the addition of the morph brush that's a good thing too. BUT ... and this is a really big BUT ... in the end, once the morph is in DAZ Studio or Poser, the user is advised to dial the morphs back down to somewhere between .5 and .7.

Yes, dialing it back does improve the appearance of the MORPH, but it also defeats the purpose of using the morph brush to add all that fine detail. What happens as a result is that  you are dialing OUT all of the character detail that you wanted to add IN, and the result becomes a blend of the figure you wanted, and the default character.

FaceShop is getting CLOSER, but it would be so much better if the morph was useable at a setting of 1. Otherwise, the morphing feature in FaceShop doesn't accomplish what I'd like to see it accomplish.

I say this with a great amount of respect for the product in hopes that it might one day become something that I would consider upgrading again. 8-)
