@lesbentley: That animation looks impressive. I'll think about your suggestions a little. I  agree that adding a tongue actor or even changing the tongue geometry should not be too problematic at this point. But maybe this also means that it would be okay to just do the bare minimum for now and introduce an improved tongue in a future version. Or leave the fancy tongue flexing entirely up to more ingenious people such as yourself. I guess if all else fails, one could even make the existing tongue invisible and use a separate tongue figure.

The thing is, I meant to be finished with Version 1 a week ago and have already added much more in terms of expressions than I thought I'd manage. Basically, I'll keep this up as long as it's fun, and declare it finished once I get bored. That better not happen in the middle of a big change. :laugh:

Anyway, I guess I'll leave the tongue for last and concentrate on jaw movements and such for now.
