So I ran across this tool which makes talking head avis. Might be of interest to mod makers who want to make avi storylines in between missions, but who aren't great 3d artists.
Basically the program takes in an audio file of speech, and a 2d image of a face. It then fits a 3d model to your 2d face, with a little help from you. It then spits out an avi of the character, with decent looking facial animation. You can then tweak the emotions, expressions, within the program.
Here's what I came up with using the trial edition.

So if someone wants to make a whole series of these things, they might consider buying Crazytalk. So if you can create the avi's, then I can put them in a Flight Commander mod.
