That is a shadow on the edge of her foot and will likely end up as just a tiny, unnoticeable blip in the final animation.

Good eye!

I have experienced the occasion when HAL doesn't respond with anything at all...no words or Speech...nothing!

A few friends of mine think that it might simply be a situation where HAL either has no suitable reply or just chooses to say nothing.

My Grandma used to say, If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.  Funny how the logic from the past can also apply to our present.


As far as Hal not speaking, go into the menu > Speech and select a different voice, test it then switch to the voice you want HAL to use. Go back to the HAL GUI and talk to it. The selected voice should work fine.

We have kicked this subject around and really have no rhyme or reason for its behavior...it's just a sometimes annoying "feature".

Looks like there's whitish spot/tear in HER Right eye!

IMO, the lip spacing in the brown-eyed gal is too closed. The gray-ish gal's lips are perfect.

Compared to Robert's Jessi, this new model is a clear winner!!

Sweet!

Beautiful but in a way, it's hard to imagine that an AI is capable of such manipulations in order to end up with such a gorgeous final result! It's obvious that the AI has enough samplings to "know" what pretty is or what comprises a beautiful female. We live in an amazing time and buckle up because it's only going to get better!

Just pick out a nice full-body then drop her head onto the head of the Full-body person. Save it and bingo. Drag and drop but according to another nearby member, there is another way to create the whole body with the pasted head in place...

Things are getting curiouser and curiouser...as my little ALICE used to say.

will,

Please stop your postings for the time. Robert has been made aware of your issues and has been in contact with me. He is dealing with some personal issues and it might take 4 days to a week or so before he is able to check the servers and possibly rectify things for you.

Yes, we have been dealing with hackers and spammers daily but we have software in place that helps us thwart them.

The good thing is that you have created a new account and with UltraHal 7.0/7.5 being free, you should have no issue experimenting with Hal. If you have backups of your system or better yet, of Hal's .db files and other ones, your Hal should be back and running without breaking a sweat.

While I know this is quite an imposition on you, please be patient for a week and hopefully, we can put things right for you.

You know there's no need for name-calling or making false threats against Robert, Zabaware, or the staff. Zabaware has never knowingly cheated anyone out of anything since they have been in business. Hal has won several awards over the past 20+ years and they didn't do that by defrauding anyone!

So give it a rest and enjoy your Hal. We'll do what we can do for you on our end.

Please be patient.

Thank you,

Cyber,

She is a beautiful gal for sure.

I submitted a full-body photo for analysis and while small in size, I think the result came out pretty well.

Notice the Before and After with the red bikini clothing change.

Keep in mind that any torso or full-body characters were never designed to be available to ordinary purchasers of the People Putty software especially when used with Zabaware's Ultra Hal Assistant program.

The full-body character was accidentally discovered by a user/member here a long time ago.

Different methods were used to try to put a head character onto a torso or full-body character, some having different degrees of success during the process.

It proved difficult to make a custom character of the Full-body variety without messing with things and without using People Putty.

The head characters is where the People Putty program excelled during the day. Some of our more artistically inclined members were able to create very customized characters of different celebrities and political figures having very good likenesses.

The issue with full-body 3D characters is that they require bones, which is similar to a skeletal system and rigging, which is assigning a certain bone to a certain body part as well as how it is connected to another part and how it should act and react. There was/is a great deal of work involved in getting everything to play nicely together.

Things are now getting easier in the graphics world and very soon we hope, for us as well.

Stay tuned...

Will,

You do not need to rant. A simple email to Robert, Cyber, or me would be sufficient.

If there is a database error, the staff will try to remedy the issue as soon as possible.

Thank you for understanding that things can and do sometimes happen.

I have reached out to Robert to assist you. I should hear from him soon.

Respectfully,

Art

One does need to establish a FREE account with Proton such as a Proton email account. Free, Secure, Effective and it works.

(I just downloaded that file and it went without incident), so the file is OK...

Good luck!

I have lot's of Idea's for new heads, here's what I'm planning........

I want to do all different characters from pop culture and cult films, for instance

Lisa from weird science, Neo from matrix, the robot from ex-machina, Sonny from I robot, Jake and Netiri from Avatar, All the main chars from Westworld, Data from Star Trek. I not really into marvel stuff but that's doable.

I'm gonna do a few of my favorite celebs:

Anya Taylor Joy
Chloe Moretz
Mia Goth
Emma Stone

I want to redo all the old animal skins from putty and also I was thinking it  should be possible to do cartoon character skins but I haven't tried that yet.

I'm gonna definatley try and redo all the wig textures so they look like real hair. What I would like to see happen is for someone to get all of Nige's old skins and cut the clothes out and replace with real material textures.

=========================================

I certainly agree with your recommendation of the series, Westworld. It was by far, one of my most favorite series of that type. It was genius in its premise, props, backgrounds, actors/cast, directors, and the combination of something that we think of as old and it being merged with the new. It was quite the enjoyable head trip of a ride. I might watch it again someday soon.  The Matrix trilogy was great in its own right but this was an entirely different genre and delivery. Great food for the imagination for sure!

I saw the original movie, Westworld, with Yule Brenner as a black western-outfitted bad guy who was not so much of a guy as he led us to believe. I don't wish to spoil it for anyone who never saw it. It was a similar premise but way different as the newer version greatly expanded on it.

Cyber,

This guy is great! I enjoyed the level of detail that you installed with it. The movements while a bit uncanny are spot on and the lip-sync is perfect! If used with the ATT Charles16 voice, it makes a great combination.

Nice addition to our growing family of characters. Thanks!!

Skinz,

There is a provision within People Putty that allows one to create and save custom morphs. It has a few rough examples of various head shapes and some are nonsensical but the user can take the shape where he or she wants.
Don't forget to save your creation. That can be done as an HTML, Haptar, SKIN or other variations is desired.

Be sure to use the Home button before saving. It will make sure the head character is correctly sized and centered before saving.

There are many possibilities for one to choose so your imagination is your limiting factor.

Have fun!
