Quote - I have also tried multiple versions of FaceShop and have never been able to get useful results out of it.  I've been assuming that it must work for someone, somewhere, somehow.  Based on the program's documentation, I've assumed that it is (or perhaps was) optimized to work somehow as a Daz|Studio plugin.  It certainly hasn't worked as advertised when used as a standalone with custom head geometries.  At one point I contacted the program's customer support about these problems.  I was told that the programmer couldn't be reached at that a-mail, and the persons accessible at the e-mail couldn't address any problems with the program, IIRC.  Money wasted.

 

I have used multiple versions and my last purchase was around two years ago.  Annoyed that it was not a lot better than the earlier versions I also contacted customer support and, to be fair, they were very supportive.  I even sent them some of my attempts and they worked on them and returned the 'improved version'.  Although they were better they were still not at a quality that I wanted by which I mean useable in the loose sense of the word.  Based on that I decided, if they could not produce something acceptable I was wasting my money and decided not to waste any more.

I will add I was using some high quality photos that I had purchased for the purpose which were taken with the figure generation in mind so it was not the raw materails that were at fault.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
