I'm a bit confused. I don't believe the millenium figures were built to work with MIMIC, but were built to run in Poser 4. Lipsinc was the developer of MIMIC, not DAZ, and the product was developed to work with the P4 and P3 figures...the original figures of Poser, not the DAZ models... MIMIC does work, however, with models that have the same phoneme morphs as the P4 figures, so any model built with those morphs will work with MIMIC, including the millenium figures. I have used MIMIC with Mike and VIC, and it did a pretty good job...yes some tweaking, but you need to tweak using the regular models as well. Check out the animation on the DAZ site...it works just fine. Now that DAZ has the rights and ownership of MIMIC it would be great if it were developed further to work seamlessly with the models they produce, and future P5 characters, but it isn't their fault it doesn't work with the millenium figures as maybe you think it should...but I have had pretty good success, and I believe others have as well... I don't see where DAZ states the milleni8um characters are MIMIC compatible in the MIMIC or millenium figure product descriptions.
