OK, sometimes I don't realize just how difficult a term or question might be. In my book, if we're talking about a face pose, we're talking about "posing the face." We have a Poser Face library just like we have a Pose Library, Characters, etc. Why would we "pose a face?!" To illustrate expressions. I'm working with the Millennium Kids now in an attempt to illustrate my book of children's poetry. A good friend suggested I concentrate more on closeups of the characters, which will mean the faces will be more prominent. I need a child to be gloriously happy, terribly sad, dreaming, etc. All these emotions need to be reflected in the face, eyes, every part that comes in to play. And yes, I still need to have the body involved as well. Eirian, if I understand you right, each expression is really individual for each character. If I use a "canned expression," I could mess up my character. Jagger, you talk about removing a couple hundred check boxes. That is a tremendous amount of work. The whole concept of computers and software is to spare us that kind of drudgery. There has to be an easier way. Ron
