Wow, that displacement looks awesome :) I'm going to have to play with that! How much did it increase the rendering time?

I'm quite pleased to hear that Vicky maps work on Judy! Does that mean that Michael maps work on Don and the Milkids maps work on Will and Penny?

Thanks, Spanki! Hopefully this evening I'll have time to try it out.

Awesome, thanks for sharing the info. It could definately come in handy someday. As much as I like the ease of installing an exe for poser files, I'd be hesitant to install exe's from random merchants. I know that most people here would be honest about it, but it only takes one good virus to screw up your system. If you can actually open them up with winnzip first as you say, then that's a different story.

Thankyou everyone for your tips reguarding the face room. I will try, try again, and hopefully get some better results. As for Mr. Segal, a characature at best. Of course, I would expect more than 10 minutes worth of work for a complete replica. Like I said, I've spent hours and haven't gotten anything decent. If I have a major breakthrough or come across any useful ideas, then I will let you all know. I haven't given up yet.

laugh No, not really unique, Paulc ;) I've just always had a burning desire to have a 3D representation of myself. Maybe I'm just crazy, but I can't be the only one around here that wants to do a self-portrait. Fls13, I'm glad that you are having better luck than I. Maybe I should try someone elses face to see if I get better results.

I'm glad I"m not the only one that has had problems with the face room. I have spent hours and hours and hours trying to recreate my own head in the face room. I have had my boyfriend take multiple pictures of me, thinking that maybe the lighting or angle was hindering my results. I could never get the green dots and red lines to line up correctly, in fact after a while they began to separate from eachother and get further and further off where they were supposed to be. Not that you can tell exactly where the green dots are supposed to be in the first place. After all my efforts, not once did I get a face that even closely resembled me. I attributed it to personal error along with buggy green dots, but I'm getting the feeling that I can't make me.

Elisa, Thanks for the alt-click tip.

Not sure that this is the best place to report bugs, but I've noticed that Kupa reads and replies to these things! (Btw, Kupa, I think that it's really great of you to do so. It's really nice to know that the CL president cares enough about its users to actually get this involved in their community. Kudos.) Anyway, the bug- when I am morphing a character with the dials and hit ctrl-z to undo, it not only undoes the morph but undoes the current camera setting. I normally use undo after turning every dial, so it gets quite irritating as my camera position switches back and forth.

Some of them are files I've exported from other programs (both obj and dxf files) and others are actually boolean models created in bryce using the terrain and lattice editor. Do you have an address where I can email the pic to? I'll keep it small.
