Hi, Bought Ichiro (and accessories!) tonight and after getting him all spiffed up the way I wanted him to look I ran Mimic 2, loaded his character and the wav file I needed for him, created a mimic pose and after inserting that I created a quick test movie. Alas, alackaday, his mouth doesn't move! I know it can be morphed to be open, closed, smiling and so on but it didn't work with Mimic. Am I doing something wrong or isn't he setup with phonemes and all that? thanks, Steve

I haven't purchased Ichiro yet, but I assume his head dials are labeled similarly to those of Koshini. Alas, they do not have the proper phonemes. The most critical of these is "OpenLips" (spelled with that case strcuture). All the others like "Tongue T" and "Mouth M" add subtleties to the mouth movement. Ockham created a .CR2 for Koshini with the Mimic dials already inserted (though I think the eye blinks were left out). Until someone post a similar fix for Ichiro, you can experiment with your own. Let me see if I can find some links to Mimic tutorials for you, that is, if Little Dragon doesn't beat up to it. ;-) Sincerely, Bill

OOPS! That should have read, "...if Little Dragon doesn't beat ME to it." Gosh, I hope that wasn't a subconscious Freudian slip on my part! Sincerely, Bill
