"With LaFemme you can just select the eye and move/scale it wherever you want. How can people actually be complaining about this?"

I'm not complaining about this. The fact is you have far more control on creating face morphs in an external program. Creating face shapes by pulling and stretching would be fine if the figure was sophisticated enough to know where the underlying bones are. Without that you are going to get major distortion of the geometry / texture map. It's great for small movements no question.

Indeed your user manual suggests using the Dev Rig to create character morphs. That of course will result in the eyes being out of place. It is not satisfactory to create a face and then apply eye translation in the figure.

Please don't declare your individual opinions as 'facts'.

I've been morphing for 20 years, I don't need to be schooled in morphing. Being able to just move the eyes around and have the entire face geometry adapt seamlessly means that anyone, including complete Poser newbies without access to external software, can create complex face morphs. With other figures either the eye translate dials are completely hidden, or if you try to move the eyes you get this:

Like I said earlier if I were making a face morphs with eye movement I would just move them with the included dials, save the dial movement to an INJ pose, and end up with a character with moved eyes that are done in a non-destructive way and the end user can then tweak them more to their liking.

In the past most custom morphers simply avoided the eye area like the plague since it's a daunting task and takes time and experience to make sure you aren't #%@$ing up the eye geometry or morphing the eyeballs out of round. Now you have the ability to simply move the eyes into any position you like with a dial and someone is actually complaining about this. It's mindblowing.
