Talking Heas

Hey,
I really like that talking head in the tutorials that come with moho but I cant work out how to setup my own talking head. Ive tryed copying all of the bones positions and putting them onto my image but it just never works
It always ends and twisting and distorting the head and not opening the mouth.

So could someone please post a more detail tutorial?

Thanks

Maybe your hierarchy got spoiled from copying. Try to set the bones yourself.
There is not so much about it. You have to make a kind of bone frame around the face first, then adding bones for the parts you want to move. Check the hierarchy with the hierarchy tool and adjust the bone strength. Set the bone settings to "flexible binding", this looks better for bitmaps in these cases. Move the bones in frame 0 with the manipulation tool to test your setup. You get the best results with half-opened mouths, closing is more difficult than opening. Maybe some parts of the face require extra bones for stabilizing, e.g. the nose. This is no tutorial, but maybe it helps you.
