Here's the thing about Scarlett Johannsen.
She has EXTREMELY exaggerated facial features. And the other challenge about creating an accurate morph for her is her face shape has changed over the years. If you look at her younger pictures her face is softer. As she is aging, it's getting more angular. If you want an accurate morph of Scarlett, just finding good consistent photo references is a huge challenge.
As far as "Is it easier to create Scarlett in V4", no, not really. There are two images in my gallery of an attempt I made in 2007, and even that morph took me three days.
Three days. With V4.
Earliest attempt here:
Scarlett 1
Final attempt here:
Scarlett 2
Given the challenge I've stated above, with the strength of her features and the difficulty in finding a set of photo references from the same date, Scarlett morphs prove to be challenging with any model .... even V4.
Oh ... and because of her exaggerated features the morphs won't stop there. You'll need custom smiles, custom phonemes, custom expressions. BECAUSE her face is so strong.
I'm banging on against a brick wall. The only reason I picked Scarlett is that she was in many ways much like la femme in facial proportions. Far from the average. Not normal. Yes Scarlett is an awesome challenge to create a morph for. I didn't say it was easier in V4. I'm in no position to say. It is certainly possible, because poof there it is. I have no idea whether it is possible in La Femme - i'd like to think that it is. It's down to you to help me find out. Yes people lose fat in their faces as they age - they look different. My versions of Buffy ( S M Gellar) and Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter) are based on their younger versions (more sub cutaneous fat).
