actually... the one that I used was the clothing breast magnet that I got from Fun Stuff (I think...) It's great for reshaping the chest of people as well as clothing... The morphs on the fairy are Mimi's and travelers...

Ah-ha! Cool! I'll give that a whirl.. Thanks for the tip. Btw- Sacred Truth... New Page as of today.. I'll post a new thread on that one in a second...

Unfortunately, the head of the model that I was using now has some sort of a problem... twist, and side-to-side dials have disappeared.. and the bend dial has moved up to the top but just destroys the face geometry... I can't figure out what happened but I think it was when I was adding morphs to the figure... Anybody seen this before?

Wow... she's really cute... Sorry... Don't have any helpful input... just wanted to say that.

Oh yeah... Annette! You remember... Choosey moms choose Jif?

I use PhotoMorph... It's like 7 years old... But still does the job... I think CorelDraw came with some kind of morphing tools... and there are shareware apps out there that seem to work well too...

Yeah... It's Jennifer Love Hewitt.. But it's 7 pictures of JLH... You'll never find a picture of her that looks quite like the one above.

Here's a tip that I can give you... Cut up the lips, nose, and eyes and paste them each onto the texture template. position, scale, and rotate these elements so that they will line up properly with the geometries, using the coloration/texture from the picture air brush/stretch/add the forehead, cheeks, chin, etc... An easier way that I've experimented with, to a limited extent, is to use a morphing program with a warping feature. You could use this to stretch the elements of your photo to the layout of the texture template. From there, you can do a little touch up, then it's just a matter of getting the right morph targets so that the actual physical structure of the face is close. Let me know if that seems useful. I'd be happy to help out if you'd like.

You guessed it!

If anybody wants me to make a texture map from pictures, I'd be happy to give it a shot.

Well.. That's a lot of questions... but I'll do my best to answer all of them. 1. I take the left part of an eyelid, combine it with an iris, add the area between the brow and the lid through airbrush, take a nose from another photo, build cheeks with airbrush again, and take an upper lip from one graphic, and a lower lip from another, match hue and saturation to each other then to the face.. add noise to add to the realism here and there (make an irregular selection, feather, add noise.. works fantastically) Often it's only one straight on eye/nostril/lip and you have to mirror it/scale it/skew it and touch it up to make it look straight on... So I don't think that anybody can sue us for using their likeness in a texture map. 2. I've never really been particularly good at bodies I don't think, mostly better with faces... So I'm not too sure how to get a realistic skin appearance.. I do a lot of the same cutting out of little snippets of skin from graphics, but it's also a lot of freehand air brush and trial and error. 3. "P4 - Less Makeup" has also the same scan of my eye but much cleaner... It was really hard to scan because my eye wanted to track the light as it moved past... 4. Yes, there is a way.. But you have to buy the strategy guide.

Yep... I did use a noise bump map.. Indeed the hair will have to change in the future... Perhaps new methods for rending hair will be developed by the time Poser 5 is released... Until then, tricks of the light, clever texture/transparency maps, and post production will have to cover for this hard to mask shortcoming... I'm sure eventually someone will come up with a no effort technique for creating convincing hair... really, I think it's becoming less about what you CAN create, and more about what you choose to create... What you desire to express.. and what the story is that you want to tell... Whether you have an artistic hand becomes less a factor than whether you have an artistic eye, mind, or soul... Anyway.. in a unusually introspective mood this eve... Well... time for bed, methinks...

Thank you for all the great work! Don't worry about your head swelling up, I think we've got a morph target which can take care of that for you.

Wowzers... I really like these images.. Thanks for sharing them!
