Quote - Patents pending or can one steal the idea?
This is absolute freeware. Use it however you like, borrow the code, use or alter the algorithm in your own software. No problem. If anyone should use or improve the idea in a script or program, it'd be cool to see the results and know what might have changed. But that's not anything I'd demand. No restrictions. :D
Quote - This looks like it'll be useful if I can ever find a copy of your TDMT script. Where have you hidden it?
Umm. It looks like I didn't correct my links when I moved my website to Phantom 3D's place. D'Oh!
I'll try to fix that today. If you'd like a copy more promptly, PM me. Sorry about that. :blushing:
Quote - I get some pretty interesting results when i run the script twice on a morphed face.
After putting the original morph to zero and using "restore_detail" and "restore_detail_1" as the only morphs the character gets a much better face then my original morph :-)The intended function works very nicely also.
Cool! I probably haven't used the script in every way it could be used. Can you post an image of your results?

Do these scripts only work on the face/head or do they also work on the body?
lmk
The restore detail script works on the the current actor, be it body part or prop, or probably camera or light or deformer, if you tried (I wouldn't advise it - who knows what Poser might do if a morph is attempted on one of these).
I should also point out that the script works on the current (worldspace) shape of the actor, and it may be better on an actor which is not transformed (no trans, rot, scale). A zeroed figure is best, because Poser's bending will get mixed into the "restoration" morph, otherwise.
I should have posted basic explanations of the GUI functions, too, I guess. Give me a while, here. Need more coffee. :lol:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
