I am interested in doing a few images using the Ted figure. I do not have much time in playmation yet and am having difficulty in getting his mouth to open to represent different facial figures. There are many control points in that area. Does anyone have any tips you can give me to make the process more bearable. Also, I am thinking of upgrading to MA. I would like to use the decal option. One question I have is if I apply a decal to an object, say a shere, and the morph the spere into a different shape, will the decal morph with the sphere? thanks rich

Richard, yes, Decals will morph with the sphere… that's the whole idea behind the Decal Module. Steve, Hash Inc.

Richard- Whenever I do facial morphs I group the points I'll be working with and then hide the rest. That makes it much easier to see what you're doing. As far as actually moving the points though, that's something that just takes time to get used to ( I'm still trying to get my characters to emulate realistic mouth movements). Hope that helps a little 🙂 -Kevin Clark (author of "The Cheshire Cat Series" – an interactive comic book soon to be released, created entirely with A:M)
