Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 18 10:25 pm)
I didn't even need to get to the results to be unsatisfied. Not worth $50, maybe $10. I hate to diss the guy who wrote it - it was probably his first real application program - but it takes an extremely simplistic approach to a complicated problem, has major bugs, and requires an export to 3ds file format (I don't understand why at all since .obj is very simple to handle). Currently working on something similar in Java to be a little more flexible and user-friendly than Still-to-Real(it'll be slower than a native executable, but cross-platform. And development time and 3rd party library dependence are cut to nearly nothing). This app loads images (JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, and TIF) and Wavefront .obj files (just like the ones used by Poser) and will allow rotation, scale, translation (basics for 3D), multiple cameras, vertex/facet/group manipulation, undo/redo/restore operations, and, if I'm lucky enough to figure it out before beta testing, some sort of morphing and what I like to call "group-image alignment" (haven't quite fleshed out a method to implement it yet, but the concept is that you select, for instance, an eye facet-group on the mesh, then the appropriate points on the image eye, and the mesh eye will be fitted to it - complex stuff to say the least). Why am I so determined? Because I want a friendly, powerful app to do this type of processing myself. ;) Kuroyume

I've heard mostly bad things about Still to Real. You might want to invest some time to do a search in this Forum for info, or just save your money for something else. I have one friend who used the product to make a decent image of himself. I haven't been in touch with him for awhile, so I can't get more feedback.
There is a free trial available to this, all you need to do is go to the page where it is sold and read the supplied information. I did download the trial, but I could not get it to work for me........thinking it just may be my computer, as a couple of other programs I have won't work either? I won't diss the guy who wrote it because at least the opportunity was given to "try" it out before purchasing..........and I didn't spend the Fifty bucks only to regret it. I love the idea of it, and hope that someday, someone will come up with a program that can do this.....HINT,HINT, Kuroyume..........Let me know when you do. (: Genny
