I completely agree on the sliders versus animations thing.
As a consumer, I am very very interested in a customizable head, and regarding animations I am interesrted only in subtle ones. I mean how many times in the week do you open widely your mouth and stick out your tongue, or bring your eyebrows down inside your eyes. I just wonna have more real life animations, meaning more soft and subtle. Besides , always talking as a consumer, I realy prefer to sacrifice a few face exprecions in order to have a unique face.
By the way, I follow this thread from day 1, and its the best thread of the last 5 years!! Keep rocking on
