[Opensim-users] Animating NPC lips

[Marcus Llewellyn]

The best thing I can think of is to make use of the internal animations 
like express_open_mouth. Although the viewer does have a lip sync 
feature for use with voice, I don't believe this functionality is 
accessible via scripting. You can find a list of internal animations 
that include facial morphs at this URL:
