<<How much will Animator Studio cost? >> List price is $795.00. << Also in the world creation CD it has a animation of a face and the eyes move and the mouth changes expressions and that is what i want to do. >> I looked through the WCT and couldn't find the flic you were referring to. What is the name of the file, and which verson of the CD do you have? <<And is there ANY way to take a picture with a normal camera and turn it into a mesh or to wire frame it so that I can move the wires around and put tham i different positions>> Sure, but when you convert a GIF into a mesh, you loose the picture part. You could then map the GIF back onto the Mesh, but it doesn't always look the same. Also, when you convert a GIF into a MESH, you are not realy creating a 3D representation of the GIF, but something more like a relief map of the picture. One program that does this very well is Yost's DISPLACE. There are others as well. <<What can animator studio do? What kind of program is it?>> Animator Studio is a 24bit 2D paint and aniamtion tool. Download the file AASR1.RLS from the forum library for details. Once I see the flic you are referring to, I can tell you how it was created, and let you know what you need to get similar results. -Brian
