It seems this idea has merit.. Check out this site: http://www.famous3d.com/animation/Products/proFACEvideo.html This software obviously isn't designed for Poser, plus it's very expensive, but it's the same idea. The Poser version could be much simpler, since the expression morphs already exist within the characters. It would simply measure the movement of the dots and apply a certain value to the morph dial(s) based on the distance (or direction) moved. It seems that head movement is also controlled with this software by using "stabilizing markers". This may add a degree of difficulty in programming such an application for Poser. The user might just have to hold his/her head still during the capture process. So, any developers out there want to tackle this?? :) -=JFStan=-
