...why does it go back to the default?>> That's the way Michael 1 Facial Expressions and Michael 2 Expressions from DAZ work. I have found that in Mat Pose edit you can make these poses work so they don't mess up your character but its not a matter of only deleting the reference to Mike 2 but also the reference to any face shaping dial, a lot of work. I did all the expressions, still have to clean the phonemes, but I was wondering if there was a way to make it easier locking the face shaping dials or something thru Netherworks method.
