Hey everyone, I'm trying to animate the mouth of a character, and I'm starting to add a bit more complex items to my characters. For example, I'd adding teeth. Now is there any way that i can attach the teeth to the mouth so when I morph the mouth, the teeth automatically move? This is really starting to bug me! :wall:

the teeth should be parented to the jawbone... morph's should only be used to move the lips and other facial muscles, not the whole jaw. You should have a jawbone to open and close the mouth

awesome man! thanks. And i'm guessing that the jawbone has to be animated seprately. I mean, I thought this might happen, but I'm glad it's the way to do it! thanks so much!
