Hello man…
in order to manage the “tongue” …I’ve noticed a “Tong” channel in the Neck_Control spline…is it right?
I probably need more control of the tongue…is it possible?
thank you

Hey Cut I was wondering about the tong control, if there are no CU of the mouth were you will need to see the tong in action it will make no reason for extra controls in the tong, not that I dont want to do them. They will be pointless if wee wont be abel to see it.

I’m not sure to understand your doubts…
… during animation Alien#1 make several facial expressions…and during these expressions the tongue is really visible and I need to animate it.
The unique tongue control I’ve found allow me to bend up and down the tongue, but not to bend “right-left” or “forward-behind”
or other …to grow up the facial expression power.
This is what I want to say wiht the previous message 
What do you think about? I hope it is possible to add these controls…
thank you

and…what do u think about to put finger controllers near the hands?
and make that they move with the hands ?
(in order to have them always near the hands)
Is it possible?

Ok Cut I see what you mean about the tong. Now do you want the tong to move right and left up and down, would you like it to strech to, or not. I will make all the changes to it but you have to tell me exactly what you want.
Now about the fingers: I have to run some tests because with the hands switching between ik and fk I dont want the finger control to dissapear on you.
Everything else is ok with it?

hi…well…i think the tongue has to move right and left…and it has to exit out from the mouth and enter in the mouth (a kind of forward (and backward) stretching)
is it possible?
p.s. I remember to you the wrist + forward arm problem…
bye
