I got this from DAZ3d: "In order for V3 to be Mimic-Ready, you have to INJect all of her Expression Morphs, which are included in the Base package. If the character you want to buy can have those Expression Morphs INJected, then it will be usable in Mimic." But How Do You Know If The Character Can Have Those ENJection Morphs?

If the character IS NOT based on the V3 or M3 characters you could always create the necessary morphs within the characters there was a thread that explained how to do it

So as long as I use a character based off of a V2-V3 it will work using the Expression Morphs? Basically I want to have some assurance that whatever V2-V3 character I buy here will be usable in Mimic.

Yes it should there is an update for the V2 M2 family if purchased prior to 6/6/03 on the Mimic product page at Daz most who create characters from Vic or Mike do not take away morph targets in creating figures usually they add I am quite sure V3 and M3 work well with mimic since Mimic is a Daz product now. I have it but haven't had the chance to work with it since I got a new computer and have been uploading all the stuff from my other on to this one. It's been three weeks now and counting I still have over 32 CD's to go

Well, I have a ton of characters from Daz, and I have Mimic2 also. I have tried each and every one of them..and, If you IM me....I can tell you if they work or not......that is.....if I do have the character you are intested in. (: genny

with mimic 2 pro you can create config files based off expressions or morphs but in most cases you have to crete the configs yourself, there have not been any configs put out there that I have seen for mimic2. models not by Daz also work with Mimic 2pro if they have the nessesary mouth and some morphs you then have to create the config yourself. if you have mimic 2 (non pro) you cannot create these configs, only the pro version of mimic 2 can, so anybody that only has mimic 2 would have to have someone create configs based off the phonimes n morphs and then distribute the config for that model. configs can be freely distributed, I asked Daz, I asked why there weren't any configs included or found BY Daz for their models and the answer I got was I could do it in Mimic 2 pro and create my own. took me about 2 hours of playing to do a config for V3 and I have since lost that in a HD reformat and never went back to do it again.

MachineClaw.........where is the tut to do what you are saying? I would like All my characters to work in MimicPro, but I don't know how to do it? Please,Please, tell me how? (: Genny

Daz Arcana has Mimic 2 Pro walk throughs with screen shots. Will Duprtutorials are there. Mimic 2 Quick Start, Mimic 2 The Display Window, Mimic 2 Phonemes (Pro Only), Mimic 2 Expressions (Pro Only), Mimic 2 The Gestures (Pro Only). These tutorials are the only I've really found besides the manual. These helped a lot.

Thanks MachineClaw, I will go check it out now. genny

Thanks for the mention, glad you found the tutorials helpful. actually all of the Millenium figures except the last two (M3 and The freak)should have config files supplied in Mimic 2. they are in the Configuration_Files Folder in you mimic folder. and m3 and the freak aught to be able to use the V3 mimic 2 Config file ok.

Hi, I'm also having problems getting Mimic 2 Pro to work with V3. I read through the thread and tried injecting all the morphs/expressions in Poser, then added the Mimic pose for the audio and it did not work.

In mimic I selected the Victoria config file (Victoria3.dmc) and the Victoria 3 cr2 file (Victoria 3 sr1.cr2). This created the lip-sync, but only the head movements/eye blinks. I then exported this to a pz2 file and went into Poser 4. In Poser 4 I brought in the V3 character, injected all the V3 morphs, then the Mimic stuff.

What am I missing here? From one post it looks like you have to create your own config file in Mimic first to get V3 to lip-sync correctly.

Any more details on how to get V3 to work would be greatly appreciated.

Thannks,
Paul

Hi Paul, Follow the tutorial again (at Daz's arcana) but save the Vicky3 with all her morphs injected as a Different CR2. I called mine, V3mimic. When you load her up into Mimic2, use the V3mimic, not the Victoria3sr1.cr2. It worked for me, and believe me.....I am no genius at this.(: Genny

Genny, Thanks for the info. I thought the tutorial was for general mimic stuff, thanks for pointing me back to it again. I also found while trying different stuff with Mimic that I was able to use the victoria3.dmc config file and the victoria 1 cr2 file and that seemed to get the lip-sync to work too. (using the newly created v3 mimic cr2 file looks better). Thanks again for the quick reply and the help. Paul
