>PROJECT: Suppose I wanted to model & animate two people sitting at a table talking to each other. I want this scene, especially the facial mouth movements and gestures, to be as life-like as possible. < From what I have seen, a "waldo" is your best bet for the faces. I'm not sure who sells them nor on the cost of one. FWIW- I saw 3DS hooked up with a flock of birds, doing motion capture stuff at Siggraph. (Also Animation Master) I know they're not up to Alias/SoftImage in many of their capabilities, but are much less in cost, and may be something to consider. I know of many SGI users who also run 3DS for a variety of different tasks. Just a thought.
