ASP 9 question - Can one do a head turn using blend morphs while having smart bone controls for the facial expressions?
Smart bones rock for easy control of facial expressions etc. They just make your character so much more expressive so easily (once set up).
Also very happy that smart bones for joints maintain the "shading effect" which never really looked right using patch layers in 8.2. ASP 9 is truly a powerful upgrade that will greatly speed up animation workflow.
Is it possible to combine Blend morph & smart bone controls?

Smart bones can be combinated with any other animation. When using smart bones, you still having the possibility to animate the points by hand or apply blend morph on them. So, yes, you can combine them.
