That's why I still use PPro14, yup. I always figured Steve... Cooper? quit in protest over the phone home thing, but who knows.
You see, about the off-topic drift? Oh man.
The parallax thing didn't work, but so far it looks like I've achieved the desired results using some rotation matrix tricks. I'm not sure it's fully de-skewing a face, but it is putting the nose back in the middle, which makes morph cleanup using symmetry tools much more approachable.
Something I am learning about tools like this one is that the selection of source images is very important. One may think one's front-view image is pretty straight-on and doesn't have the face rotated at all toward a 3/4 view, but that may be happening more than one realizes. Every human face has asymmetries, but they can end up distorted and exaggerated by a tool like this, so the inputs are important. And lining up the profile view image with the front is tricky. The test I show at the top o the thread has a profile image that is misaligned with the front view. I suppose I should think about ways to compensate for these things, even after the images have been prepped. Hmm.
No one knows what you're talking about yet. Stop babbling.
It's coming along nicely, but still needs undo and proper save before being ready for testing.
Note my typo, way up there: Microsoft was tricking people into upgrading to W8, Windows 8. Not P8. That was Smith Micro's Poser release that was dominated by GUI alterations, bringing in the Internet Explorer and Flash dependencies.

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.
