Poser pro comes with lo-res and medium resolution figures. The face room doesn't object to them, but they come out horribly distorted, especially around the mouth. I would like to use some as background figures to populate my scenes, but I need to vary their faces a bit - especially the pointy noses and the thin lips.

This is a wild shot in the dark - has anyone had any success with these figures at all? Must I export them to a modelling application to create morph targets for them or is it possible in Poser?

I tried many ways to get them and escpecialy faces work no luck.
i use p3 and p4 figures for back ground as work a treat, so have a lok at older then play around with skin testures inart pprogram.
I have managed with p7 to morph p3 faces so far into diff african faces.

I bought Poser Pro and have no access to any Poser figures older than Poser 6. This is very irritating because people who buy Poser 7 get the Poser 5 content for free, but not people who buy Poser Pro. This also means that I can't use the ethnic figure pack, because all those are based on Poser 4 figures. They don't have very good African figures anyway.

I tried using the morphing tool in Poser to change the faces but it doesn't give me enough control.

Since starting this thread I have exported the Lores Female  head into Blender, and managed to create one African morph target that is not totally useless. I think I'll just have to keep at it until I get it right.

Content paradise got thier new site done 1st june mail them and see if they will be doing but you can use p4 figures that come with pro.
And get p3 and 4 textures and you will fing in free section morphs for p4 figures especialy women turn african.
Thier are other p4 figures about as dont have access all my urls but search in google and should find sites where you can get good stuff, and check renderotica free stuff.
check this render mine      Sexy Native Girls GR render  on here as used p4 women with p4 african face morphs.

The new Content Paradise site is a huge disappointment in my opinion.

As far as I have been able to make out, I got no Poser 4 material with my purchase of Poser Pro. I only got Poser 6 and 7 legacy content. People who buy Poser 7 get Poser 5 legacy content throwh in, but Poser Pro users don't get that.

I have, however, now made three female and two male African face morphs for the LoRes figures, and made several shades of skins and eye colours. With the normal map applied, they don't look so bad at all, quite adequate for figures that won't be viewed in close-up.

I now need to work on some clothes for them.
