Hi,
If everything goes as expected I should be able to acquire the Faceware mocap bundle for iClone at the end of this month, so I'll probably start the trial next week.

Meanwhile I have a question: From what I've seen so far, there is a way to do "multipasses" facial animation recording by using the Face Mask feature. My concern is that it seems that whenever you re-record it will basically override what you recorded at first on the same part. There is no "mixing" involved. We can't "layer" or "mix" multipasses recording. Am I correct ?

The idea would be to select some parts of the head and record lipsync first, then do another pass and record "emotional" expressions for instance that would be "added"/"mixed" on top of the previous lipsync recorded parts. Is this currently possible ?

What confuses me is that in the product page it is written:
*../.. Do multi-pass editing to blend up selected feature movements../..*
Which induce "mixing" through the use of the verb "to blend" but the Face Mask feature itself seems to be On/Off based. So I don't know what to think on this matter from the product description alone.
