Description
A few months ago I tried FaceShop Pro 3.0 for a few days before giving up in discouragement. I was unable to create morphs from the various .obj files that I attempted to modify. Mostly, the program would just lock up. money was returned from DAZ and all traces of the program were deleted. Yesterday I discovered that the program had been updated. I downloaded the 15 day trial version and must say, that although using the program is still more art than science IMHO, it now works more as advertised. I exported the V4 head .obj to a folder and then imported it into FaceShop Pro successfully. After about a half dozen attempts I finally got a useable morph and texture file. Here's the result. Still not perfect as the lips didn't map perfectly and I really should have cleaned up the texture file a bit before using it. Guess there was just anxiousness to see what could be done.

Thanks for looking and commenting.
PS Here are some really cool videos that explain the whole process of exporting a head mesh from Poser into FaceShop Pro ... and how to open the morph and texture in Poser.

Hm...glad I waited. This image is great, but you made me glad I waited based on what you said about the original. Even though you made several attempts, the rendered image is very close to the original! Your efforts paid off.

I'm glad you stuck with it Gene, this a really great result ! It's a shame the the earlier version was so buggy, enough to put anyone off. Anyhow I hope to see some more of these very realistic babes in the near future ! Well done & ~Cheers~ :o)
