Hi, I've been trying to use Mimic 3 to use in Poser 6 with Victoria 3 cr2 file and the sound works fine, but the lips don't move and the facial expressions don't change! Only the head bends! I set up the correct configuration file, the correct cr2 file and still nothing, please help!!!

Common problem areas: 1) Does the CR2 have the necessary phoneme morphs? Earlier versions of V3 were effectively blank, and the expression morphs needed to be injected into the CR2, with the figure resaved to the library, before she'd work in Mimic. The SAE edition of V3, however, has the expression morphs "built-in". 2) Do you have external binary morphs disabled? By default, Poser 6 will save the character's morphs to a separate PMD file unless you disable this feature from General Preferences. DAZ|Studio can read P6's PMD files, but Mimic cannot.

ah, that might well be the problem. If i load the expression morphs into the poser project file and then save, would that work?

Probably. Mimic needs those morphs to animate the character's lips, eyelids, and brows, and if they aren't in the CR2, all you'll get is head and eye motion.

excellent thanks. however is this a better lipsynching prog than mimic? somehow mimic is a little...unnatural

There aren't many alternatives, and Mimic is the only app that will analyse an existing voice recording and then generate a Poser-compatible animation file. PoserSpeak is one possibility, but it's entirely text-to-speech. http://www.3dtrue.com/poser/36.html
