Kids 4 is NOT a Genesis figure, it is a standalone Generation 4 figure, like V4 and M4 etc. etc.

thanks a lot Jimmy, but how can i make the facial animation for it in this case
because i buy it and i cannot use it
and if i cannot apply facial animation which generation i can use for kids expiration

I had a look on the Reallusion site for your product, and as I thought, it is ONLY for Genesis/Genesis 2.

I don't believe there is a similar product for Kids 4. There are iClone users on these forums, and they may be able to tell you how to do it with other figures.

Hold on for a while, and you may get some answers.

There is an iClone thread here in the Animation forum : http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/33730/

You could ask your question there?

you want to use morphs
morphs expressions Visemes - to add speech
morphs expressions Base - to add moves to head ( like sad happy etc. )

You need to do it all manually by having every head morph under expressions dialed up on frame 2 of the timeline and at zero on first frame
then in iclone 3dxchange manually retarget the bones and in expression editor manually assigh each morph.
Yes it is a lot of work but doable.
Genesis and Genesis 2 male and female are the only automated conversions.
I use the older figures a lot myself and other creatures and animals which I do manually, am quite used to it but certainly for those in a rush to just make videos sticking to Genesis G2M&F is advisable.

You can save your retargeted bones and tpose though to reuse
expression editor not as mesh varies with clothes used.
