Facial poses on multiple characters in the same scene

[Langhaarviech]

Good evening,

I'm having a straightforward problem (and yes, I'm a newbie). I'm trying to do facial poses on multiple characters in the same blender scene.

Now things work fine for one character, even if another character is linked to the same scene. But no luck with the second (leave alone a third) character. I can link characters to scenes, make proxies for their armatures, and pose them just fine - but facial poses just won't work. Is there any trick I'm ignorant towards?

Peace.

You need to create drivers for the expressions, cf http://sites.google.com/site/makehumand ... xpressions. The problem is that you can not access shapekeys of a linked mesh directly, but by creating bone drivers you can control them by moving bones in the proxy armature.
