I see now how poser 5 will have the face room, and it allows people to use facial photos and import them into your character and use it as the face. This is a very powerful tool. Since a face can make or break a scene, importing a face will not only add an INCREDIBLE amount of variety to the pictures we see, but also the details will be fantastic.I see this as the one feature that will change how Poser is recognized in the industry.

On the flip side, I see some major problem. First off we will see non stop celeb pictures. This will stem from using a real photo from a magazine. Which brings up copyright issues. When people use a celeb face, or some person off the nets face, is there going to be legal problems down the line? Comercially speaking, will somebody be able to pick apart a scene and see it is their photo being used? Can somebody complain when their face is put on a cyber body doing even if it is just personal usage?

Also on non known celeb sides of things, will people start to feel the pressure of having to use real faces from the net to compete with others who do? Many might feel their work will seem inadequate compared to others who do use real faces. "Look how fake my face looks compared to others"

There is going to be a lot of interesting question is usage. So I am just curious. How do you all feel about these issues with using other peoples faces? This issues have been around in the past, but will new problems arise now that they are thrust into the 3d world? :)
