I know Foxhollow told me there was a thread on here somewhere about this, but how do you open Vicki's mouth so that the teeth separate as well. I called Doug and Chad at Zygote and they both said to use the Open Mouth dial. Oops, not there. LOL. Well, you gotta love 'em, they thought they had. Chad's gonna get back to me about the dial (maybe it's there and misnamed). Will let you all know what he tells me. In the meantime, has anyone else done anything with this?

use the "yell" dial. If you don't have it, download the new morphs. Silly Chad and Doug not to know that! Mary

I couldn't remember if the standard naming convention for Poser morphs (which Vicki follows) was OpenLips or OpenMouth. However, after checking it turns out that it's OpenLips. (Zygote threw Yell in there, too, so that by using combinations of the two morphs her mouth would have a wider range than with the existing Poser figures' OpenLips.) The main reason that we're so worried about naming conventions is for compatibility with Lipsinc's Mimic program. The one issue that I can see a potential problem with here is that Vicki's OpenLips morph only opens her mouth about half as much as the OpenLips morphs on the standard Poser figures. While this is not a problem for manual usage, it could make Victoria appear to mumble (not open her mouth as wide) when used with Lipsinc's Mimic program. For anyone who finds this problematic, you can always rename Vicki's existing OpenLips morph as something else, and then spawn your own morph target (perhaps from .5 OpenLips and .3 Yell, for example) and call this OpenLips. Hope this helps. -Chad Smith Zygote Media Group

Yes, Chad, I remember in our conversation, you had actually mentioned Yell. I don't know why we dismissed it. But I am playing with a combination of those dials now and it seems to be working well...doing just what you're suggesting (you bright little devil). You guys are always so helpful and so receptive. I hope you know how much so many of us appreciatie it. Thank you, Chad, Cris
