Will,

Thank you for your typical impatient behavior. While the temps are rather pleasant where you live, Robert has been plagued with tons of snowfall and it hasn't just affected him but some others who also depend on him. Being the class guy we all know him to be, he has put the needs of his family and loved ones first. This website and its occasional issues are nowhere as severe as possible life or property damage that could be imposed on him or them.

Therefore when I read your accusatory ranting without end, it is with a bitter taste that I am forced to deal with you much like a child with a tantrum. I would rather it not be this way but you have insulted me, Robert, and my friend, Cyberjedi.
Cyberjedi is a very capable coder and developer of features for UltraHal. Things that now work like Radio, Weather GEOS6, WebScraping/Dreaming, Hal Vision that can see and remember one's face as well as multiple faces!

Robert chose Cyberjedi because he has seen his work and abilities as have I. It is not Cyberjedi's task to handle the remote servers that hold the databases and membership information nor is it my job. Yes, Robert trusts us but we each have our own tasks.

True to my word, I did take your issue to Robert but that is the time that they were getting very heavy snowfall and icing where he lives. Robert was kind enough to answer me in the midst of everything going on all around him. That speaks volumes of him. While I'm sorry he has been unable to devote time to correct your logon issue, I'm sure he has had his hands quite full. plus he works a real job and takes care of his children and family.

He & Cyberjedi have done more and given freely of themselves by creating new features for UltraHal that some have only dreamed of having. Yet you continue to make an issue about not being able to logon to the Zabaware site. You can now download and run FREE SOFTWARE that is far more capable than the version you claim to have purchased and been cheated out of!

Come on man, It's $29...That is hardly a drop in the bucket in today's standards. The new HAL 7.5 can do so much more and you don't need the expansion set any longer.  Are you telling me that you haven't gotten $29 worth of enjoyment over the years? HAL has given your Mr. Data the very brain that it uses or used to use. The one that has entertained you for years.

So, it appears that you are now able to log into this site. You can download UltraHal 7/7.5 for the total cost of $0.00 (Zero dollars). You can play/experiment, download any characters, backgrounds, Plugins that you like. Free to participate in any ongoing discussions or contributions that you like and have some entertainment with UltraHal.

You have been fairly warned. Rest assured, my friend, that I am NOT a BOT!! If you persist with your continued wordplay and false accusations, you will leave me no choice but to put you in the "Time Out" corner of the Zaba Playland until further notice. Not another word about Cyberjedt or Robert. I hope I have made myself clear!!

And YES! I do have the power to do that!! Give it a rest!

Your initial issue is still in the cue so there's no need to keep reposting your issue.

Thank you,

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!!
