By definition, any of the celebrity morphs are ‘real’ faces, and I’ve seen some excellent ones. That would seem to indicate that the base figures are capable of it. Now most of them are ‘pretty’ as well, but if you can duplicate Fox or Alba, you should be able to duplicate Jane Doe.

Let’s step back from accurate facial structure for a moment and consider something else, age. Why are there so few over 40, some would say even over 30 characters. That certainly doesn’t reflect reality. My hunch is that it doesn’t even reflect the user demographic – at least here in the forum. One could say the same thing about the relative dearth of children or non-Caucasian characters, and of course, the gender ratio.

So Poser Planet is apparently located on the campus of an exclusive women’s college somewhere in Scandinavia maybe. Faces are not the half of it. It is not that there aren’t any diverse products out there. Surely this market is not a dead zone where the rules of conventional market economics are null and void – if they were popular, people would make more of them. Instead, the market for non young, White, twenty something, attractive females is so great that well, as Yogi said, ‘It’s so crowded, nobody goes there anymore.’

NB: Dina Marie Vannoni was the fitness model 3D scanned for the Dina figure. You can look her up and judge the fidelity of the process. Some images may be NSFW.
