That's total BS.

Many people here have done it, including myself.

Originally I was strongly encouraging you to persevere, keep trying, and not to give up.

New recommendation:  Uninstall iClone, since it is clearly not what you were looking for.

Maybe you'll visit us in a couple of months, and tell us all about the other software you find that actually works for you.

But since it works for many, many people here, I don't think the fault lies with iClone.

I think you don't even have the software and are a plant by the competition...:crazy:

Reminds me of Test01. Eventually they get tired and go away...:w00t:

They have, but they form a minuscule minority. Most members have a positive atitude, are willing to make the effort to learn, and then you see them contributing answers themselves. Those answers may be cryptic sometimes and involve 3DS Max a bit too much, but there's always something to learn from them, well, mostly...

Now I must admit that we do have heated debates every so often with sparks flying, but then things calm down again and everyone is the best of friends, well, mostly...

And, Peter (RL), our patient moderator, is always there to keep us within bounds when things get too bad...:crazy:

You wouldn't want to be related to me ;)

I am not very good at iClone, but I did take the time to confirm that, indeed, an avatar can close it's mouth.

I suggested that you describe what you were doing, and how you were approaching the problem.  I got no useful response to that, just more complaining.

I have created a video SHOWING that I can indeed make an avatar's mouth close in iClone.  Exactly what you asked for:  Open mouth,  turn head, close mouth.

The video is estimated to be available about 45 minutes (maybe an hour) from the time of this posting.

UPDATE:  Video (Rev B) now available

Chuck and his big mouth from justaviking on Vimeo.

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.

Tell us WHAT STEPS YOU TOOK that failed so miserably.  If you still want help, and will cooperate, I and others will help.  It's up to you.

It was in WMV format.  I suspect Vimeo artificially delays the conversion process on free accounts as one way to encourage you to become a paying customer.

But worse than that, I now see my recording didn't end when I thought it did.

I've pulled down my video and will put up a fresh one shortly.

UPDATE:  The refreshed video is now available (and is embedded in my previous post).

Nice Tute, Dennis :)

Thanks, Colour.

It gave me an excuse to try some new screen capture software, and it worked well.

I like the way it shows where I click, but you can't tell if I'm doing a "drag," which is what I have to do when I'm moving Chuck's jaw up and down.

I'm sure some narration would be helpful, but it was merely meant to show it's possible (which you already knew).

@col757 - As I said, "Your turn."

• If you think you need narration to follow what I did, say so, and I'll gladly post an updated video.
• If you faithfully follow the same steps, and it fails, then please post some screen shots and we'll see if we can figure out where you're going wrong (we've all been there at various times and on various functions).
• But if you don't want to bother at all, then there's nothing I (or anyone else) can do to help, and you may wish to mosey on in search of greener pastures, and do without the iClone-induced stress in your life.
• As I said before, I abandoned after trying it about 5 years ago.  But now with v5.5 I am having a great time with both iClone and the many fine people I've met here on the forum.
