[edit]The wikipedia has articals about Poser and other software that is similiar. I'm not certain why I got the notability warning. I see facegen mentioned in the Elder_Scrolls_IV:_Oblivion wikipedia page, so I'm sure many would like to know what it is. I'm hoping someone will make a complete list of all face generating software somewhere.
Anyway, I got that warning a few seconds after starting the page, and before I had done all my editing on it. Perhaps it was because I only had one referance, that the official webpage. I now have two.
I'm surprised its only been in one sucessful game so far. Its been out for years apparently. I guess me creating a catagory to list all the sucessful games its been used in is kind of rediculous now, since I find just one game mentioned on their website or elsewhere.

[edit]"Cynical (Talk | contribs) (Rewrote, stubified, rm notability notice (being used in a multiformat game of the year makes it notable, whether it meets WP:SOFT or not))"
- I'm glad someone else agrees with me that it is notable enough to make a page about. I appreciate the work, but you eliminated a valuable link to information about it, and mention of its use in police work. I've rewritten it to make it a bit clearer, hopefully, and put the link back, only this time directly to the video interview with the company spokesman, not the page it was listed at with other things.

Scammers trying to sell similiar named product, misleading web addresses, etc.
[edit]Would it be relevant to this artical to mention how another company is trying to trick people into buying its product instead?
I emailed what I found to the FaceGen people and got this response:
"Hi Thomas, thanks for the note. Facial Studio is not related to us and we'll be addressing this keyword abuse in the near future."

Thought that might be good trivia or something. Not sure. Dream Focus 01:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Used in psychology...
[edit]FaceGen isn't only used in video games. FaceGen has been used, and is being used, in psychology experiments on beauty, facial expressions, etc. --Marshmello 20:05, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Interview no longer where it was.
[edit]The interview link no longer works. It was in May of 2006 that the Discovery Channel's Daily Planet covered FaceGen in an interview called "What's in a face" Their archives on their new site only goes back to September, months after the detailed interview. If anyone finds it, or another interview, please link to it. Dream Focus 20:01, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
