Got this done at last. Hard to find time for these now but we'll get it done. Can't figure out the lighting and I'm hoping we already have a magical sprite spray for her wand. I'm noticing that if you make changes to a non chor action, they aren't reflected in the chor unless you drag them on to the model again.
Witch turns Bill into a grasshopper!

That's Excellent!
As for the action not updating....grrrr...I too have found that annoying. I can't isolate it. But it doesn't seem to happen on simple chors. Seems like it's more likely to occur with the more complex chors. It's almost as if there is a time delay...because sometimes it updates all of a sudden. I've taken to not having external actions (other than cycling stuff) - have found it easier to work with separate chor action for FACE, separate chor action for everything else, and definitely don't mix bones/nulls between the chor actions.
Some WAG's: Perhaps some bone channels are being manipulated in both the action & chor action? And perhaps it has to do with the use of expressions ?
PS - love the purse

That's great Ken. I really like the interaction between Witch and Krewl.
We don't have a magical wand spell effect yet - if anyone reading this would like to create one, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks all! I've been trying to get more interaction in my SO shots. In TWO, they would have just said their lines to the camera. The purse doesn't have any facial movement, but he's quite endearing.
I'll take a look at the witch we used in TWO for a wand effect and let you know. We want to keep it consistent in other shots. I'll leave the lighting to you.
On to 2_12_03.
PS The action doesn't update even after re-starting the project. Don't know what's going on.

I added the effect. Still a little work to do on it, but I can't get AM working at the moment. I can't display the sprites to see how they look either.
Great work, Ken! I liked the interaction too! Have to make sure that it's readable in final render though (e.g. lighting and blurred background) cause it's a gem!
Thanks apprentice. (Missed this before.)
