About 1: Could you a bit more specific?
(I ask, because you can find the description of both in the shop http://www.daz3d.com/shop/software/mimic/mimic-live/ and http://www.daz3d.com/shop/software/mimic/mimic-pro/)
Mimic is a stand-alone application designed to create lip-synched animations. It creates an output file which you can then render in a third-party application such as DAZ Studio or SmithMicro Graphics’ Poser
Anyone else purchase mimic live and after running installer it still is absent from the windows/tab/mimic live? Cannot seem to get it installed and working. Am I missing something here?
