DAMN! as we speak I just did it again ! this is defenetly not my day...
I am the only one animating, so I get to break things, and then shout at
myself.. :)
I just did the perfect lipsync ever :) ... no I need to do it all over
again.
That what happens, when I have to animate 250 frames a day, with 3
acting/speaking characters,
I would suggest the producer of this project to lock the extra lock on her
door, tonight when she goes to sleep:)
/end of grunt

I got stung by this as well Oz, ref models and animating in the shape
manager just don't go together - you're best off creating a custom pset and
making sure all the animation happens outside of the mixer itself.
I prefer to have it off by default though, as animators have a nasty habit
of breaking things if they're given the opportunity, and its harder to make
additions/update the model.
