Sherwood: >> has any one composed an animation of a mouth syncing to audio in >> 3dstudio or animator pro You may have seen our "Call Waiting" animation on the 3D Studio 3 demo reel, the animation which we won the Autodesk Images Awards general catagory with. It was a singing mouse, all perfectly lip synched to the audio track (if I do say so myself!) Perhaps we could arrange a training session for you with the person who did the lip-synching portion of the animation. Sorry, I don't need any betacam dumping to tape in return, though!
