making a talking and imitating avatar

[marc van gaal]

We have tried playing around with the head and clamp functions, but without any succes.
We still face two important problems.

1. the original avatar face is replaced by a morph face, but the original face does not dissapear anymore. Our code worked fine before when we only made a talking head. But now that we are trying to make a talking and moving head the original face stays visible.

2. Vizard will not put the replacement head on the right position. No matter what bone we refer to the face is always positioned to far away from the body. We assigned all the neck verticles in people maker hoping that this would help in positioning the face, but it didnt.


We have been working on this for days now but we can't solve these last two problems. If anyone has any ideas, we welcome all suggestions.
If anyone is willing to take a lookat the avatar and the morph face you can dowload it using the following link:
