How very neat.

I just thought of something else. Maybe we should have something like that for AI news? :)

Nice find Dusky, I've never seen this before.  Good idea FD, I was thinking about adding an avatar but hadn't decided on how it would be used yet.  It will take me a while to figure out but I will come back to this.

I've come to like this program.
I can put in my favorite haptek head, my background, and my Kate voice. 
There's also lot of options as to the news.
Cool.

Admin,     If you would like me to do a head i would be happy to contribute to it.
If you have a pic of someone, full face is best.
Contact me for any further questions.
Neil.

Freddy,
Don't know where this could be best used.
You got better brain, I'll let you think on it.

Cool offer of Neil,
Incidentally I use his Angie as my newsgirl.

To those of you who have installed this program, are you ready for the next step?
Ok, you got your favorite haptek head in there, background you like and voice you like.
But the girl is just so ordinary and you?d like her a little more happy.
 
Here we go.
Put the Haptek Console on your main drive.
Now when you open your newsgirl, you get the console on desktop.
Drag and drop a happy hap into the console.
There ? you got a happy newscaster
Want to change her hair? Drop my AccRemovalTool into the console and then any haptar hair you want.
Does she look plain, drop some haptek jewelry in the console.
Some nice earrings would look good.
If you got her giving middle east news, drop a sad hap on console.
Do you have a lighting hap you like?, drop it in.
You got her doing weather, drop a Florida beach background hap into the console.
If you got her on the beach give her the haptek mic to wear and maybe a hat to keep the sun off her.
And don't forget sunglasses.
OK, got the idea, go for it.

Enjoy.

OK, let's do one more step.

Today we bring a full body haptar into your news room.
Give her a background with a desk and sit her down.   (see photo)
(Drop a sitting hap into the Haptek Console)
But if she wishes to broadcast from elsewhere, let her.
Put her on the beach, (photo)
Or in the park laying on the grass  (photo)
Or standing on her head  (Photo)
Or maybe a jail cell. (photo)
Where ever your put her or whatever you have her doing, she?ll still give the news. (Bless her heart)

That?s all.  No more steps.  You on your own.
Enjoy.

wow, this is pretty cool.
