Looks Cool. Couldn't find a link on Yahoo. Thanks for that. Looking quickly at the site it seems that you can export the heads out to max if you buy the studio edition. And logically it would follow possible to convert this to an .obj which could be used as a replacement head in poser. Which would make for some cool products. Obviously selling a copy of my own noggin would be OK. but if I made a copy of Arnie's head could I sell it here ?

That would be awsome - Arnie in Poser.... the possibilities are endless - cyborgs everywhere!

.... or clones... I took a look yesterday, and it does look really useful... I could wish for more export options, though.... that'll come along later, I'd expect. Aside from their studio, they have a few products that look interesting as well.

Bummer, the trial download doesn't work until the 10th {Saturday}...until then the dl link goes to Face Filter :(

Well you've got 15 days from today to mess with it amd see if it's any good

Well wth?...it 'still' is taking me to that blasted face filter..{which has been updated btw}...the dl link says the file is 80 MB, face filter is 6. something....and thats what I am presented with..the 6MB file....after a redirect.. Anyone else want to give this a shot?

4:00 PM the 10th.... Eastern time..... No luck, yet. Lou.

Great....they have changed the DL availability to 12/12 >:| Im beginning to wonder if its 'really' worth it...

Well, you never know..... it's a dice roll (I don't THINK you can say the other one here ) sometimes you run into people putting something out before it's REALLY ready.... Win '95.... and sometimes it's just bad luck... Gremlins in the script... But, yeah, I've lost enthusiasm for things that were announced, then announced svseral times again..... even books in a series. Me, I'm gonna wait and see what monday is like... BTW, I REALLY need to be enthusiastic for ANY down.... I have raw dialup... Bellsouth doesn't, and won't cover this area for dsl, and my connection bogs down to 2.6 Kbaud..... 9 hrs for Service pack 2. Lou.

I have also discovered that no matter which version you choose,{studio or standard} it tells you that you are going to get 'studio' Im with you, I will wait for Monday and see what else happens..
