I have not used the Monkey character so i do not know what facial morphs it has, But as an example i am using the GIRL (which is Mimic ready) but is crap in mimic, so i made a new set of morphs and used the V3 setting in mimic and now the GIRL talks more realistically. To do this you can make morphs from existing facial morphs and name them the same as the V3 morphs,ie "smile","Mouth O" etc, and save the character to your library with the facial morphs, then it should work in mimic. (stand the V3 character next to the Monkey, pose the V3 face in the required position and use morphs on the monkey to create a similar facial shape and apply that as a morph to the monkey vie spawning, and naming the morph to the same as the V3 character) I hope that was of some help.

Getting old and still making "art" without soiling myself, now that's success.
