Hey all. Came across this link at the makehuman forums. Facial Studios (http://www.di-o-matic.com/products/Software/FacialStudio/) looks very interesting, but, it's by no means cheap. $699. At that price, I would be hard pressed not to put a huge effort into learning organic modelling. But, I'm just a hobbyist, and there are those here that could spend that as an investment for their company. So, in that regard, I just share it for that reason. If I win the lotto anytime soon, this will be on the top of the "to get" list though.

Yes indeed. This is the Face-O-Matic I talked about on the Claud-O-Matic thread.

I was very tempted to have this one, regardless of price!

The only reason I didnt went through it, was because it would limit my modeling skills to only using this app!

I would lose touch in modeling from nothingness, and be dependent on this app!

Yes its a shortcut and an easier way to do faces, which I always aim for, do the whole model as fast as possible. But it comes at a price of your growth!

Its like learning from start how to run with those thingies on your legs that make you super jump! While you shuoldve been resorted to your own legs better!

Thats what I think of it, and am curious to know what others make of it!

Especially weather someone from the 'dark realm' of Max, cause I hear it was once a plugin for that, weather they have it, and how does it feel!
