I can't really compare since I never used V1, however I find Mimic V3 well-suited to its job and more than adequate. I used it to do a "talking head" style video with a custom Poser character and it worked like a charm. I did have to modify some of the pheonemes, and manually edit the alignment of text and the soundtrack - typical tweaking stuff. But the end result was great. Doesn't V3 support more characters than V1, or is there no difference? A quick look at the DAZ site seems to indicate there were numerous UI tweaks as well, such as the ability to move & close certain windows, a different hierarchy grouping, etc. These also might make the upgrade worthwhile. In the final analysis, you'll probably have to download the free trial and give it a go to get your answer ;-) - Jimdoria ~@>@
