first, i think if it would be possibe to download the animation instead of viewing it on explorer, then more people would have seen it.
it's very hard to understand what he says because of the sound quality but it really looks out sync or as if the expressions of the mouth does not fit his vowels, maybe are they are not pronounced enough (it's hard for me to point it out because i never did a talkin characater, only expressions).
what i did really noticed is that his skin when he makes expression with his face is moving too slow. especially in the forehead.
so you better work on your timing.
i have no idea who is barry white, but if you have a video of him talking and moving it would be grate as a reference. (or maybe you already using one)

as for the modeling the character looks awesome.
texturing is nice too.

hy.
in first thanks to take time and giving me an answer...
second : excuse me for my english. i'm french... :rolleyes:
third there is a new link to download the movie (http://3d.white.free.fr/vid_optim/barymorph06_optim.avi)
fourth : it's just a test to make lipsink faster... i haven't synchronise it... i did it in 2 or 3 hours. (pretty fast for all the morph target and the lipsinc.)
fifth : the fun part is the caricature's style i gess... barry white is the famous disco crooner. i thought everyone know him (that's why i choose him.)
what do you think about the little "flex" which make his lips looks like gelly ????
thank's again for your comment.
