I am using the guide for 2.3 the section on vertex keys is a stumper. It is not giving me a chioce of relative or absolute, why is this? Sorry for the seemingly stupid ?.
The 2.3 guide is obsolete on this. You should be using shape keys.

Thanks for your advice. I really appreciate the time. Any suggested reading or information sources? This guide is slightly frustrating sometimes. I want to get through all it has to teach though. I am real green on Blender, so it’s all information to me i guess. Thanks agian.
For shape keys specifically, look at the links in my previous post. The Wiki’s good, especially the summer of documentation stuff:

And of course, if you’re interested in character animation, check out the book in my sig, which will be out soon:
