Morph the head of an avatar into another?

[Josh]

Hi all

I want an avatar to express different emotions. First it has a head that looks neutral. Then I want to replace the head with a smiling one. The transition between the two should be smooth.

How can this be achieved?

Thanks a lot :-)

The avatars that come with Vizard include several morphs that you can use. Take a look at the following thread.

If you want to use other morphs with the heads on these avatars you would need the Complete Character set that includes the Max files with the avatars. Then you could create those morphs in Max and export them.

Otherwise, you can use morphs with custom heads. In the tutorials section of the Vizard docs, go to Avatars --> Custom Avatar Heads and take a look at the tutorials in there.
