DQS makes an excellent pubic hair prop that can easily be adapted to any figure. It is available in the free downloads section here.

As an American concerned with upholding the attitudes and values of my fellow citizens, I have decided to be deeply offended by everything done by anyone, anywhere. In that spirit, I insist that all posts made in this site's galleries be pictures of models rendered without lights against a black background. Failure to adopt this policy will only prove your insensitvity to my sensitivity.....uh.... and....other.....important...sensitive issues, such as overpopulation. Just look at all these posts made by different persons. It's anarchy, I tell you. There's just way too much of you and not nearly enough of me to make it a decent world to live in.

I couldn't have said it better meself.
A time machine prop would be a good excuse for creating some Morlocks to go with it.

That's the rub, Cheers. Sooner or later we won't have a choice if we prefer pc's over the more expensive Macs. The SDK issue is not a figment of my imagination. Developers will either adopt Vista protocols and standards, or MS will not co-operate in facilitating production, thereby vastly increasing costs. So much for choice.
Complaining about the obvious and well documented intentional hobbling of an operating system the user pays hard earned money for is not bitching by lazy layabouts. It is a legitimate complaint against an inexcusable business practice that should be punished in the marketplace. The article I referred to earlier refutes much of what you're claiming with detailed, documented fact. My take on this issue seems to be shared by almost every professional programmer and developer I've encountered.
As for OpenGL, when thousands of users repeatedly encounter a Windows generated shutdown error message with the same programs on different machines, and when following the option for a detailed technical report reveals a failure of an OpenGL call, I think the point is obvious.
I hope you will not take my contrary position as a personal attack. We simply disagree.

Quote - And for those who say, "my app isn't supported by it" - well, I say, use an app that is supported by it. There are plenty of graphics apps that support Linux or OSX, so choice shouldn't be a problem.
I really can't see what all the complaining is about...it's not like you have a gun to your head to use it.

I disagree. Microsoft's operating systems completely dominate the pc format market. The corporation is a monopoly that has been convicted of predatory business practices. That is not my opinion, but that of the United States federal courts. The fact that they have been able to thumb their noses at the courts' explicit order to make Internet Explorer deletable from their operating systems by finally allowing the installation of other browsers is remarkable, and clearly demonstrates the willingness of my country's authorities to ignore the law whenever they choose.
Claiming that programs capable of running under Linux is offer a viable  alternative  is not a valid point. Each application has unique properties that make it an irreplaceable asset for individual users. Besides, Microsoft does all it can to discourage developers from porting titles by punishing "violators" with sanctions. Withholding SDK's or delaying their distribution is a a common tactic. Then there's the complex matter of accessing or using proprietary code without "permission." In other words, you serve only Microsoft, or you'll find yourself going broke from horribly extended development times for Windows apps, or winding up in court.
My only reason for submitting the original post in this thread was out of concern for the users here. The majority of us are working people who have to carefully consider most of the purchases we make. We don't have unlimited financial resources. Vista is the most expensive public sector operating system MS has ever released, and it established fact, not opinion, that it is incapable of dependably running a great many popular programs we all use, and have invested substantial sums of money in. If Vista serves the needs of a business, fine.If not, the cost of the software is tax deductible. I couldn't care less.
Vista seems to me to be the perfect avatar of our times. We live in an age of vanishing freedoms and diminishing choices. My government has practically abandoned its constitution in the name of security. Our brothers and sisters in the UK can't walk across a street without being spied upon by surveillance cameras. Some British private schools ( what we refer to as public schools in the U.S ) have announced their intention to stop teaching anything concerning the Holocaust because the parents of some Muslim students may find it offensive. My God.
And now we have put up with Vista. Installing it on your system is like having a three hundred pound cop come bursting through your door and jumping astride your back. Once comfortably settled in, he proceeds to criticize and  interfere with everything you do. Sure, you can gag the thug, but he's not going anywhere. He'll just continue his spying in silence until he decides to fetch you a good whack upside the head.
I don't need to pay for that service. My wife does it for free, and she's a lot cuter than Bill Gates.

Redfern, I got a real kick out of that picture. Great work!

It's odd how people's experiences can differ so greatly. Everyone I know hated Windows 98, due in large part to it's tendency to develop registry errors that caused bootup problems and hanging on shutdown. SE was supposed to have fixed those glitches. Too bad you had to buy an upgrade to use a product you paid for instead of getting proper support. Of course, every Windows version would have been a much better product if Microsoft had just done away with their bloated registry system. No chance of that.

Great looking model.

I apologize if I seem prudish, but the term npples makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable. In the future, I would very much appreciate posters employing something a bit less tiillating. "Accoutramental mammarian protuberances" should serve quite nicely. For those vulgarians who prefer a shorter alternative, I suppose I could live with "bazooka buttons" or "knocker knobs."

Quote - The software is even older. It is a research project of a german university. They continue to develop it, but do not plan to sell a commercial version soon. The software is based on a still growing database of head scans. As the movie was made, this database was built from 300 scans, they now have about 2000 scans in the database and can simulate the aging of children.

I have seen them at the CeBit Fair here in Hannover, but I am not linked with them in any way. The software they use is made for research use, which may be why they do not sell it. They have published the concepts and methods though.

Do not expect it to be in the shelfs soon. The database is unlikely to fit on a dvd though.

Thank you for the information, bantha. Perhaps someone will eventually use the techniques employed in a commercial program with a smaller,  more managable database users can customize themselves. It would be a fantastically useful application.

Are there any alternatives to FaceGen modeler? After visiting Singular's web site, it appears rather expensive for what seems to be a slight improvement over Poser's face room.

Some very nice work posted here. This would make for an enjoyable sticky thread. As for requests, how about Kathy Griffin? Preferably nekkid and exhibting her facial features before the latest plastic surgery modifications had a meltdown. Otherwise, she'd look like a carp whose head was run over by red hot sod roller. Eeeep.

Quote - What a distressing and unfortunate segue into the land of Who-Gives-A-Shit.  :(

Hehehehehehe....most excellent. Concise and accurate.
I enjoyed Karen's cat pictures, and offer my thanks to her for posting them. If one makes the effort to read back through this entire thread, it's very obvious that she was responding with a bit of appreciated humor to another member's equally funny reference to the topic of content censorship, which certainly has an impact on the issue under discussion here.
