nfredman: I had the shape of the lips dead on, but when I went to make this image, I had to part the lips a bit to match the original pose of her in the photo. Poser in general is kind of weak when it comes to mouth movements.
That's been my experience, anyway. Making mouth movements is easy, but when you're working off an actual reference photo, its difficult to get them to match up. Anyway, the mouth is more accurate than this photo appears. And like you said, its a bit off due to the fact that we're comparing two different photos. The promo picture I used has her mouth a bit more defined and with higher arched eyebrows; the glamour shot leather-guy posted is an example of her looking different from one photo to another. I've been trying to recreate the look of different photos so that I can make changes and get a more accurate look.
Anyway, I'm going to be done pretty soon with this character, and I'm trying to decide who to do next. Wait, that didn't sound right. :) Ok, I'm trying to decide who to model next. There we go. I like modelling real people in Poser... its a hell of a challenge. Maybe Angelina Jolie? I saw someone made an awesome Jolie model before, but its not around any longer. Its a shame.
By the way, if anyone has a hair model or a transmap for a hair model that matches Scully's, I'd be interested in including it when I put this character in FreeStuff. Full credit will be given, of course. Also, a Sig 9mm and a trenchcoat would kick ass. There are plenty of shirts and pants available for Vicky, so that won't be a problem.
Let me know if you have something to add. :)
