It's looking quite good.  :laugh:

I think the real test would be trying to use the ray-casting to compare two actors which haven't already been carefully shaped to match one another.  The Vicky head in the test file you're using was carefully shaped as Antonia, using the pre-ray-casting process of closest vertices and Restore Detail, as seen in the tutorials.  What we really need is testing of the same shaping process, using the ray-casting.  My tests with the Antonia-V3 setup I've been using suggest that the raycasting might not handle much better than the closest vertices for the initial comparisons, before the surfaces are closely matched.  The question is how far it can be pushed before problems show up, and how easily those problems can be corrected using Restore Detail or some other tool.

If you want a challenge for the ray-casting, try starting from the comparison setup offered in the Comparison script zip file at http://www.the.cage.page.phantom3d.net/TDMT_Match/TDMT_Match_Compare1.zip.  Then you'll be starting where I did when developing the shape match you're currently using for testing.

If the ray-casting can be used from those beginnings to generate results as good as or better than those in the .pzz you're currently using, starting from scratch, at that point I'll feel safe making it a default script option.  :thumbupboth:

To really amplify the challenge, try doing the whole thing without Restore Detail in use.  :lol:

I may try it myself, in a day or two.  Unfortunately, today I'm occupied.
