So as long as I use a character based off of a V2-V3 it will work using the Expression Morphs? Basically I want to have some assurance that whatever V2-V3 character I buy here will be usable in Mimic.

Great... thanks. That's pretty much what I thought - so I will actually have to own Poser just to merge V3 and my charactor.... Hmmm, I wonder if anyone here could merge the two for me (when I send them the files) then send me the .cr2 files - that way I would't have to spend $140.00 on poser just to make the .cr2 files.

Thanks.. I actually knew that - what I was really asking is; after I buy V3 from DAZ and a charactor set here at Renderosity - how do I combine them to create the .cr2 files to use for Mimic (in the real-time preview)?

Thanks for the reply; I have a 3.02 GHz/HT with 512MB and also a 2.66GHz with 3.66GB machine- from talking with DAZ the 3.02 seems to be the best choice for fast rendering as I will be doing; how "real-time" are we talking about with either machine? Around < 2 seconds with full textures (shoulders and face only) for a one-sentence render is what I'm after.. possible?? Thanks a million for your help!

Thanks for the replies! That's awesome that you can do that with textures and all! I did have one question though (again from my lack of knowledge); when I purchase a character here they do not actually include the .cr2 files; so how do I get/create them if I dont have poser?

Okay, this is probably an incredibly stupid question on my part, but is it possible to not purchase poser, but purchase Mimic2Pro, then purchase a Poser character here at Renderosity, then import the CR2 for the character into Mimic using the Real-time preview feature, then run Mimic and see my character speak in real-time inside of Mimic?

Hello, I read on a form that Mimic2 has a built-in real-time hardware-accelerated preview of the lipsync(by loading the desired Poser figure into Mimic) Forgive my stupidity, but I don't actually own mimic or poser, but do you mean to say that your charactor (textures, morphs and all) will be displayed in real-time using the lip-synch animation created by mimic? p.s. if so, will only the head be displaied or the torso as well?
