OK, here is a way to vary the trackingScale without getting crosstalk! It uses a discovery that Bloodsong made about "linkParms" statements in the skeleton figures, it's a kind of alternate form of remote controle that does not suffer from crosstalk between figures, it does not seem to work in all cases, but it always seems to work ok if the channels are in the same actor. Here is an example using the OpenLips morph in Posettes head. 1. place the following valueParm channel in Posettes head: valueParm vp01 { name DialName initValue 0 hidden 0 forceLimits 0 min -100000 max 100000 trackingScale 1.000 keys { static 0 k 0 0 } interpStyleLocked 0 } Note the line "trackingScale 1.000", the value can be anything you like. 2. Find the first weld statement in the cr2 and paste the folloing code directly above it: linkParms head:2 vp01 head:2 OpenLips Make sure the figure numbers (:2) match the rest of your figure, it is esantial to this technique. OpenLips is now slaved to vp01 in a way that will not suffer from crosstalk between figures. You can hide the original "targetGeom OpenLips" dial, and set the trackingScale of "valueParm vp01" to whatever you want. Because OpenLips is slaved the trackingScale in the valueParm, that channel will determin the amount of adjustment. I don't know if this technique can be used on pp2's, I have only used it on figures so far.
