Is it possible to import a model into GS that has an animated biped as well as vertex animated facial expressions? According to the MED manual, only one animation type is supported at a time, not both simultaneously. Bummer.. So how can I have a character that gestures with his hands and moves his lips at the same time? Is that not possible with GS? If it helps, I model in MAX 9 and the character has biped animation and facial vertex animation via the morpher modifier. Thanks!

Well, as far as I can tell this might be the only way to do it as of yet. I was quite surprised (and displeased) to learn about this limitation of the engine. I just can't see a game character walking around during a close up and not moving any kind of muscle on his face. That looks silly..

Choose which one will be the master mdl file then export the other to asci then reimport into master model.
