Thanks to all for their replies here or via email. I truly appreciate your help. If you have any further ideas regarding people, tutorials, internet-based resources, books, etc. that might be relevant please let me know. For our project the next step is to try to find out exactly which known emotional facial expressions can be created to compile a "wish list" of not-implemented movements and then see how to continue from there. I will try in parallel to get a better feel for morph targets and the limitations of Poser in general. Of course I will let you know of our progress as we go along. Best, Arvid
