Yes and No. I've spent many hours in the FACE ROOM now and know most of it's quirks, lacking help & information, positives and negatives.
It gets reasonably close ... but it in no way can make perfect replicas. I've done four real-world people, and about 3 iterations (or more) of each trying to get each one perfect.
The ultimate test was showing one of my wife to my son and asking him if he knew who it was ... He said "Hey, that's Mommy!" However, I did one of here sister and he said "Is that Joey's father?"
The controls for lining up the facial features are extremely UN-intuitive and frustrating. Also, there is not adequate documentation and/or recommendations of where face lines and control points should go optimally. Hopefully Nosfiratu will have a turorial or other info posted on their site soon.
Again, you can get close and probably make the person recognizeable, but it won't be anything like a carbon copy. It is a lot of FUN, but could use improvement.
