I think using bones is the best solution for the actual state of SW3D
and 3D cards. After doing lots of tests -helped with the input and
experience of NoiseCrime- I�ve came to the conclusion that this morphing
stuff -at the level I was trying to push- was too much for Director.
Bones will suffice depending on the complexity of the face because you
have a limit of 9 bones affecting each vertex (which seems a fair amount
to me) and it seems that setting up a face with morph mofifier can be
easier than using bones for the 3D modelers.
Anyway... this could be an overhead for SW3D and there are many other
aplications that are specially done for this matters. So even if this
can hardly be done with Director, maybe it doesn�t worth the effort.
Remember... I LOVE Director and I�m working a lot with SW3D (more than
I ever thought) but I�ve learnt that the best is "using the right tool
for the job".
C�ya!!
