T-Mac all day! I've done a little lip-syncing, one I posted on YouTube. Check it out at:

While you're there, hope you check out some of my other vids.

[CoriDavis]

Not bad, the sound effects were kind of loud through my headphones though

[CoriDavis]

ok, I have a new problem.  In object mode, the eyelids look perfect, but in scene mode, they're all boxy.  No matter how I move it around in object mode, it still won't go away! is there any way to fix it?

[davdud101]

maybe it's bad lighting?

[CoriDavis]

I don't know.. it looks like the same angle to me, I just know, no matter which way I move the points around, it won't fix it

[Gyperboloid]

What do you mean, boxy? Maybe a wireframe and a different angle pics.

[CoriDavis]

I mean boxy as in you can see the lines and it's straight instead of round
hold on...

[davdud101]

try looking at something in Preferences (assuming you know how to get there) or Working Divisions.

I think making it look "smooth" in object mode is... double-click the mesh, then say "smoothness" (or something) 180-max. That gives it a more smooth look.

However, maybe Scene Mode disregards that?

EDIT: Nope, that ain't the problem. I tested it.

[CoriDavis]

hmm... well, since moving the point around doesn't help, I don't know what it could be.  I just hope it can be fixed so I can start making the actual characters

[Gyperboloid]

  And I still can't understand what are you talking about.  Can you post picture with another view angle? And maybe attack a file with only the sphere inside ( not whole project ofcourse )?

[CoriDavis]

Attack a file? ok! *stabs file* lol, just kidding

Anyway, you mean just the sphere, as in the eyeball?  well, the eyeball is fine, it's just a circle cut in half, and it's actually been joined to the face with join solids, so is the eyelid.  The eyelid actually isn't a sphere though, see...

[CoriDavis]

ok, I don't think it's going to work, I thought I'd try the sphere method to see if I could rotate it, but I made it worse.. even with multiple morph target points, it's just not working.  but I have a solution, I am going to not have it blink, and it'll be offscreen when the eyes close for any sleeping scene.

[ENSONIQ5]

Morphs can only move vertex points in straight lines, not arcs, so it isn't really possible to rotate meshes with this method (unless you make a number of intermediate morph stages which is inefficient and unnecessarily complex).  Rather than morphing, why not create a bone for each eyelid?  You could keep the eyelid as a separate object (no need to join it to the main mesh) and so long as the bone's pivot point was accurately positioned central to the eyeball it would be a simple matter to open and close the eyes using a Sequence.  You could even create a simple 2 or 3 frame 'blink' sequence that you could drop into the Scene wherever you think appropriate.

[CoriDavis]

Aaah, that could work, i'll try it

By the way, like my new avatar? teehee, I made a .GIF of my logo
