Actually, HER, HIM and the Phibian are all totally Mimic compatible. The way to achieve this is by setting up ERC dials on the head object that control jaw and eye bone rotations at very specific degrees, and to make sure that the ERC implementation uses the targetgeom tags rather than the valueparm tags. In doing it this way, Poser "reads" the ERC dials as though they are morphs. The hardest part is just getting all the control ratios worked out so that the end result appears to users as though it's a morph when actually it's bone manipulations. So, there is no risk: we've worked it out so that it works just fine. HER is in the hands of thousands of users at this point and we have yet to recieve a complaint about the usability of this and I'd say with as many users as there with HER, one can make a safe bet she's seen her share of Mimic time. :)

-Les BTW: XSI background, meet Maya and Max background. Everything we impliment in Poser is based on methods we've used for the last nine years in one or both of those packages. ;)
