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

Thanks Anson, but just to be sure I understand - "morph targets" that you are referring to ways of changing the head geometry, such as widening the face on one side, but it does not imply differences in the movement, such as pulling up one corner of the mouth while the other remains neutral (with symmetrical "skeletal" head geometry remaining intact) ?? Best, Arvid
