Hi,All!
In light of Mr. Ms' input regarding this string, i hope I'm not encouraging anything, and this will be considered a valid Off-Topic discussion[:I].

I agree. I originally discovered VWM back in '98 about the same time I discovered Hal. Their offering of DigitalDNA has been pending since then. Their graphics appear to be
still straight out of Poser. On the upside, though minimal, are still animated and reveal much more as one gets closer[

] to her. I agree, their present graphics can't touch Haptek.

The upside, IMHO, The conversational database of the software, isn't too much different from that one might hear between a girl and a guy in a public place, by A.I. standards would be very well developed. The A.L.I.C.E. criterion is based on whether the entity could be considered a real person. The downside, IMHO, is that she doesn't learn, merely responds.

As I mentioned above, I agree! I recently discovered Haptek and acquired
PeoplePutty and have registered it.

vonsmith! How could you mistake a girl winking at you for an eye twitch[?][

I mentioned in another string, I also feel that Haptek has the best computer characters available, even above Desktop Mates. I am not a programmer at this time, (I did get
VBScript in a Nutshell in the mail today[

]) I'm still trying to get the fullbody_female, and all of those wonderful updates to the 1.2 brain that vonsmith is providing, to work. I'm afraid I'll hurt my Jasmine/HAL.
I really want to work with that Haptek SDK in the meantime.
Maybe I could produce some of these delightful textures and hopefully some worthwhile accessories.
Anyway, I hope I get to join you all on an more knowledgeable level soon. I want to put my Jasmine/HAL to work.
