Morphing/ bones 2003-12-17 - By Carl Lydon

Simon,
I have an old version of a medical simulation I am working on:
http://www.sillyplanet.net/projects/simulation/
Try the "Hold Lids" and "allow blinks" buttons. Since then i have
added many eyelid animations. Unfortunately, I had to do it all using
bones, and in Lightwave no less, where I had to manually define a
weightmap for each bone. I had to do a bone for each vertex I was
moving, otherwise it got all screwed up, so I needed a bunch! This was
all a pain but it was possible to do. Facial animations are doable,
just tedious. At least you are working in Max, which i think is better
suited than Lightwave for doing bones.
