Mimic Pro provides an advanced environment for easily creating and editing facial animation sequences. Take existing WAV audio files of any language and let Mimic animate your figure for you. Or, record your own speech file within Mimic?s recording studio.
Mimic makes your favorite 3D characters talk with incredible ease.
With the ability to add in expressions such as winks, nods and smiles, your figures can easily become as expressive as your imagination allows. Mimic Pro now displays your custom character ERC and morph settings during playback, and has a much more intuitive, customizable interface, along with enhanced features that will drastically cut your production time.

Camera Lens Controls: New controls on how fishEye or Flat the camera is.(Preferences Window)
Hair/props that are saved in a CR2 will be loaded in, with transparencies. Controls available in the Object Tree.
