Reallusion delivered on their promise, plus a whole lot of unexpected improvements.

An example of using some of the OBJ import Options and Facial Morphs as Viseme's to make an object or character that cannot even accept speech in DAZ, do so in iClone.

The first character shown is nothing more than a circle. It was duplicated/copied, had a few changes done to it, and then edited in 3DXChange using the Expression Editor, to make it appear to talk when given CTS6 files, Text to Speech input, or just import of an MP3 or WAV. It almost looks like a scientific wave scale when the speed is increased, of course you would likely mute the sound used to create the animations to the shape. Good for capturing as an image sequence to be placed on some sort of Sci-Fi panel in a scene, or medical equipment screen or two.

There are two examples in the same iClone scene using "Toon Kitty". It was exported first without facial morphs, largely because I didn't realize it had them. I discovered them and made one change to the mouth inside DAZ, and then used variations of it to create the talking mouth you will see here. Not difficult at all to match the Viseme Panel, just persistence, and trying to do it only once. I always heard, "If you have time to do it twice, you have time to do it right the first time".

The Freak character was simply a converted DAZ Michael4 that accepts the Reallusion DUF file for Genesis doing a conversion process shown by VIDI. Works like a charm for Legacy characters. A bit time consuming and paying attention to details, but it isn't difficult to accomplish.
