The advent of the new version of Poser looks tremendously exciting for the many developments offered. Not least of which, Faceroom will allow for photorealistic representations of anyone in high resolution 3D, and these will of course be animateable and lipsynchable too. I know a company has been working towards the provision of a wide range of top quality image maps (front and side) for just such use. These are not simply photographs, but rendered and airbrushed images of characters, made by talented artists, many of which are designed to look just like famous faces! (Have you tried finding good quality, high resolution front and side imagery anywhere, where the subject just holds a completely neutral expression?) The accompanying image does not show Poser 5, but a similar system to the Faceroom facility. If you would like more information on these in readiness for the new version of Poser, drop me a line and I`ll let you have more information.
