I'd been hoping to actually get my hands on a figure with your rigged facial expressions.
I still play with SydneyWM, but her arms are a bit off...
Sydney weight map probably won't get finished. That wireframe is far too messed up to properly weight map. Its extremely assymetrical, has tons of duplicate vertices, and has loose vertices to boot... If you mirror the map's, its trashed. So it is very limited on what you can do with it within Poser.
Not to mention that the inside of her mouth is close to 50% of the poly count. Not sure what the thinking was for doing that. Maybe it was going to be a dental model.
Someone at SM mentioned looking into the wireframe ages ago, not sure what happened to that. I brought up issues with Sydney's wire frame the first time I saw it. And I don't recall it ever being updated to fix it. I doubt it will be. It is not the best wireframe for weight mapping to begin with. I do like her build and face, but thats about it.
I offered to fix it for free, that never panned out either. I have a 20 different mods to her wireframe collecting dust in my runtimes....
Some things are easy to explain, other things are not........ <- Store -> <-Freebies->
