Right you are. I speed-misread that. Thanks.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. But the Mouth layer is the source for the Tongue layer. if you right click on the Tongue Layer and say Update Layer Reference, it pulls in everything from the Mouth layer, which is not good.

My reference layers are also breaking. Anybody find a solution for this?

Actually: The file I'm working with now, when I reopen it, the Tongue, Teeth and Outline layers all say Layer Ordering (not referenced). I can choose Sync Channel to Original which seems to work (the lowest Mouth layer is outlined in red). But when I make changes to the Mouth layer, they are not ref...

This solution has worked well for me. The only problem I've experienced is occasionally, after importing a character with this type of mouth, the references between layers are broken. On the left side of the timeline, there is an icon. I can't recall exactly what it says and I'm unable to duplicate ...

You can make several references of your switch layer, place each element in its own switch, and mask using these switch references. Here's a quick example: https://sites.google.com/site/synthsin/files/masked%20interp%20mask.anime?attredirects=0&d=1 Then just animate the 'mouth' switch and all t...

Right. Seems to be whenever you select a bone it shows you corresponding Actions. I might have chosen green as a highlight color. Red tends to indicate a problem, which is not the case here.

Thanks, Richard

Thanks. Unfortunately masking seems to kill the interpolation as well. Unless I am missing something.

You can try playing with a gradient fill with multiple skin tones and a blurred edge, Not sure if anything will perfectly match the complex coloration of a photo since shading and lighting make multiple colors, but the above suggestion might be able to make it less of a patch look Good Luck Thanks....

I read the manual and couldn't figure out: Why do some items show as Red in the Actions Window?



Thanks,

http://i65.tinypic.com/rssrx5.png This is my mouth design. The green "patch" hides all the other elements that come into play with different mouth shapes. When I put this on a cell-shaded character, I just change green to the skin color and it becomes invisible. However, now I want to put...

I figured it out. Woo Hoo. Sorry if I made you look.

Thanks,

Wonderful. You might want to add "msLipSync.png" to the list of files in the readme.txt.

My top priority would be a way to save and reload bone animations. I know it can be done, because Mike Kelly has a script that does exactly that. It would be great to see it built in.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! I just tried your script. Lip sync is now fun! I can't wait to delete Papagayo from my hard drive. If Papagayo had a physical existence, I would shoot it, blow it up, burn the remainder, and pour the ashes into a cold dark hole. Your script would be placed on a velvet pill...
