Facegen or Headshop

Im trying to decide which one to get and need some help deciding.

From what I can tell Headshop seems to copy half the face then replicate it which from the promo shots looks pretty unnatural to me so I am wondering if that is the case or not.

thanks.

    Perhaps this attached image will better demonstrate, it shows the mans pimple mirror images to the other side of the face.

    Check out this thread, they did a comparison of the two products https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/4170786/#Comment_4170786

    The pic in my avatar is the render i got from using Facegen. I had trouble with headshop and returned it. Could not get it to produce anything that didn't look totallty distorted. Facegen also has issues, and trying to use various photos I'd downloaded did not have great results. The head has to be lined up in such a specific straight on way with your chin just slightly up, and then best to also add side profile shots to the program, all with very bright lighting or flash. I had to take new selfie photos in that specific way to get it generated so that it wasn't distorted once it created the 3D model. Both programs allow you to morph your face shape further, but headshop trying to use that feature just caused it to crash every time for me. With facegen I haven't really used the feature to make adjustments. I just can't see much further use for it since other people's photos i try aren't shot in the same specific manner. But maybe others have had better results.

    (I attached a larger image of a render I produced with the created model from Facegen)

    There's another option which I explained in a post at the end of this thread:

    As for FaceGen I'm curious if I could generate a face in Windows (FaceGen only runs on Windows) and then move the generated face over to my Mac where I do my work.   Does FaceGen generate a file which could simply be copied over to the Mac and then imported in to Daz? 

    Thanks.
