Thanks!

I've noted this, and the other replies too. I'm glad there's some interest.

Depends on what you mean by arbitrary mouth. The include file uses four
bicubic patches set up in a specific way, so another arrangement of bicubic
patches doesn't work, nor does, say a mesh or mesh2. That way it's rather
limited, and impossible for me to add support for mouths made of other
objects.

However, you have a little control over the shape of the mouth. All three in
the example animation were custom defined, and the user can make other
similar, but different mouths.

You assume a mesh, while my include file uses a completely different
approach.
