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.
If you're interested here's the url for the reference photo used in FaceShop. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v189/monoceroo/bf7929b3.jpg
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.

Can you make one like that for me? I keep telling the wife I'm going to trade her in for a younger model, this one fits the bill. I thought it was a photograph from the thumbnail. Fantastic work, a really beautiful image. Thanks for sharing.

It's a wonderful use of the great application (I play with FaceShop myself), but be careful! Renderosity doesn't like images done with the hepl of this app, as I was once asked to take down one of my images...
