@Shockwave: I remember that head demo I did - it was in 3D Overload back in '04...I actually wanted to have its lips move when I coded that but I had nothing to sync it to or even worse the head was a static model.
I got the head model and the texture from the head demo that comes with blitz 3D (I got it from the demo so you don't have to buy it) if you guys want it...though you'd have to do some modelling to get the lips apart and tie a bunch of vertices to bones & stuff.
It'd be very cool to see where someone goes with this.
