Headshop vs. CrazyTalk?

Hello all,

I just discovered Headshop, looks quite impressive, and I'm trying to learn more.

There is a good discussion at the following link which compares Headshop and Facegen.

https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/292591/headshop-11-questions/p4

Rather than repeat that thread I was hoping members might be able to compare Headshop and CrazyTalk here.   I use a lower version of CrazyTalk which creates 2D heads.  A higher version creates 3D heads from photos.

I'd also welcome links to sales pages and other information which can further educate me about Headshop.   So far all I can find is this:   https://www.daz3d.com/headshop-9-2-macintosh-64-bit

I'm a Mac user if that matters, and a very novice DAZ user.

    That's a very apples and oranges comparison, as they have very different purposes.  Headshop is designed to create head morphs that can be applied to DAZ's 3D figures.  Crazytalk is an animation program that happens to be able to create a 3D head that can be posed, rigged and animated.  I have both, although not the the currrent version of either, and Crazytalk is a  better animation tool if you want lip synch animation, especially since it can animate anything with a face...from a photo of a real human to a cartoon drawing of a cat. If all you want is a human head shape, Headshop is a passable tool that gives you access to the extensive library of clothing props and sets made for DAZ figures which you can animate in DAZ Studio, or render out as still images to animate with Crazytalk.  That said, if you're leaning toowards Headshop, you should know that there's another product sold here at DAZ, Face Gen Pro, that does the same thing only, in my experience, far better, and also allows you to hand dial up a wide range of realistic and exagerated human faces on the fly.
