This is all about the topic of having your characters in daz studio or poser eat(animated).

The only way i've done it is stick a spoon into a bowl or plate then repeatedly scoop and then put into character's mouth.  Problem is..the food won't be taken by the sppon. and also if it's a premade food prop..there is no way to cut pieces out of it..The food prop will always remain the same. .You can make it invisible but that's totally unrealistic to make it invisinble after the first bite or even after a few bites.

So that's one problem with eating in Poser. your food won't gradualy disappear.

The other  has to do with chewing. I use James and the M3/V3..those are the characters i use.
Although there are morphs..there is no morph to move the jaw to make the char chew. Also, there is no morph in the neck to pass food.

So, seems making realistic eating is very hard. I've never seen any one do animation for eating.
So it seems to me, we have to do unrealistic eating or skip it all. Which is fine i guess, but well..making characters eat seems to be a challenge

Hey...that got me thinking..HOw about having a contest to make the most realistic eating?

anyways thanks
