Back in the late 90's I had fun scanning photos of faces to be used on players in EA Sports NHL. I created an entire team made up of my coworkers and amused them by showing them pictures of themselves scoring goals or checking some well-known forwards. (Or violently checking one of the managers from work). ;)
A few years down the road, I was pondering how to make a digital clone of myself like the hockey players, and used a program called 3DMeNow or something. It did heads using a similar technique as the video game. But it wasn't very satisfactory. So I searched for other software, and Poser 5 advertised the ability to import a photo and sculpt the head in the face room. So I tried it. Didn't work at all. But I had so much fun playing with Don and Judy that I got hooked.
