*** SOLVED*** Genesis 9 Open Mouth Morph???

I must be completely missing something, but I can't figure out how to open the mouth on Genesis 9 figures. In the previous generations, there was an "open mouth" morph, but I can't find anything like that for Genesis 9. I found a "close mouth" morph, but nothing to open the mouth. I've been using DAZ for years and never had a problem figuring out how to do things like this, but this one is stumping me. I'm sure everyone else has already figured this out and here I am, scratching my head over it.

    Look in Pose Controls.

    Try "Jaw Open"

    Okay,. I never saw that. I somehow missed it. Thanks for the help. I guess I can owe this to my being a blonde! LOL

    Sillly me, I was looking at the morphs for the mouth rather than for the jaw. That's why I couldn't find it.

    Melanie, don't feel bad. I couldn't find it either and was distressed after doing a search for mouth, lips, open --- and everything else I could think of. Maybe DAZ folks shouldn't change the name of one of the most commonly used morphs in the universe to something they've never even really had before. This is an oversight on DAZ's end rather than stupidity on the users end, if you know what I mean. Don't change things on us that aren't broken. Continuity is the key to development success I'd think. If I have to re-learn the system every time DAZ updates/upgrades, it starts to be detrimental to my desire to use their software and figures. Just my ten cents. It's cool to add new options and morphs, but why did they change the OPEN MOUTH morph name? Not a reason in the world other than somebody felt like it. Again, don't beat yourself up on that one.

    EvieS, I totally agree. The old addage, "Don't fix it if it ain't broke!" should be standard with things lke this. It's constantly a learning process, even if we've been using it for a long time.

    I couldn't find it at first either. Don't feel bad.

    Have you ever heard someone say "open your jaw" ?  Poor choice to rename it I think.

    Your jaw is lowered or raised.  Mouth is opened, not the jaw.  Did they want to use the word "jaw" because it's a bone name?

    Technically, Jaw Open and Mouth Closed (lips only, in this case) are not opposites, and not necessarily mutually exclusive. Think of chewing, for most people.
