Timothy Albee's Facial Animation TAFA (http://www.ta-animation.com/FA/index.htm) may help you out. It's a little expensive considering the market. But, if you're needing to do something quickly it may pay for itself. It handles .mdd files.

Hi Chikega and thanks for your fast reply.

One more question please, I´m think to render my scene in Lightwave, first make the animation in and before pass the .mdd file to LW. But, how I can do to mix my body animation with the mdd file exported from TAFA?
It is possible in messiah?

Based in my LW experience, if you load an mdd file in an object, the complete mesh is deformed whith this mdd data, is not possible to load one mdd for the body deform, and other mdd for the face deform, is it true?

Thanks for your great help !! (And congratullations for your SSS studies ;) , grat job)

Thanks. :) I would look at some of the tutorials in which Timothy works with .mdd files and LW. I watched one and it seems the head is a separate object. So, you're saying that you're character is a one-piece mesh? If so, and I'm not much of an animator, I believe people have used Puppet Master to divide the mesh up and then apply .mdd to the separate objects. I think .. maybe some of the animators can chime in.

I love doing lip sync in Messiah. The quality of the audio as you scrub is second to none and its so easy to use the sliders with your main facial morphs. . .

I have also started creating custom shapes in the negative frames with lots of little bones and just using Motion Blender to slide them into my animation where needed. Ooo man that just makes it so nice.

No. . . it doesn't do it for you. . . but it so responsive/fast/smooth that you can really push through a lot of animation in a short amount of time.

I love Messiah. :-)

Yes Weg! this is my next goal, I´m working in a cartoon model (in my free time) and it will be the bone facial rig, my first attemp!

this is the model

At the moment, I need to finnish this work before this friday at 09:00 :banghead: I have not much time, and need to use the LW endmorphs of my object :cry:

It isn´t a great Job, its animation is very limited (no time), but i´m learning much about the messiah in production and the composse module, it´s fantastic!, I love messiah too :thumbsup:

thanks for your time
