wondering how to implement the many facial expressions from facegen to 3ds max to use as morph targets for facial animation. fairly new to max animation.
View 1 Replieswhy my facial control rig is not updating my character morph targets in real time? I would have to go into the modifier in order to see changes after clicking the slider. I used both the reaction manager method and the wired parameters but neither is working.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to rig a face for animating. (not for a game). and I can't figure out which is better and why: having all joints, and those joints driving parts of the face.. or just making blend shapes for all expressions like smile, angry, sad etc....
I know blend shapes won't work for games, but I'm planning to do mmo's anyways so I'll never need a complicated joint setup for faces... but as far as film, what works better?
I've set keyframes on the Glow Intensity attribute of an object so I can slowly reduce the intensity at certain points. Now I need to create a new expression to give a random flickering to the glowing object as the scene plays, until the glow finally dims out.
But when I select Glow Intensity and try to create the Expression, there is no option now to 'Create New Expression'. The other options are still there, but it seems that at the top I'm left with an option relating to the Animation Curve Attributes (animCurveTU..?)
Is there no way to add a rand() expression to give some flickering to the Glow Intensity if I also have a few keyframes set that slowly dim the overall intensity level? Surely not.
I've tried to manually create the expression in the Expression Editor, but when I have to type in the name of the attribute, it hangs the whole program and I have to kill Maya and restart. Either it will not work that way or I'm missing something.
Maybe another way get the flickering short of manually keyframing the intensity level for the entire sequence.
I am working on (yet another) minecraft character rig xD
So i have set up a facial control panel, using blend shapes and driven keys, but i need it to follow my character. If i parent it to the head, i doesn't follow when i grab the skeleton and move the character around, and if i bind it to the neck joint, i am not able to use the control panel, because the movement of the controls are locked, since they're binded to a joint.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a stack of images that constitute a smart object and would like to apply a stack mode of random. Random would randomly select one pixel from the stack and bring it to the top, go to the next pixel location and do the same, and so forth.
For example, if the stack was 5 layers deep, one of the 5 pixels would be randomly selected, without median, averaging, or any other merging algorithm applied.
I used a little bit Civil 3D 2013 for railway design purpose. I understood all the basics but I still have a question : how to implement a railway with double track? In the library, there is only SingleRail subassembly. I'm not sure how to implement what I want or if it already exists in Civil 3D 2013. I found a topic (2006) : [URL]
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there somone who can explain/show a sample of how a custom drop-down list in OPM can be implemented? Based on some articels by Kean Walmsley, I have successfully implemented categorized properties in the OPM using a .NET wrapper and C#. I have a class imlementing the members of the IDynamic EnumProperty, ICategorizeProperties and IDynamicProperty2 interfaces (based on ObjectARX 2013).
However, I do not really understand how to code custom drop-down list using .NET wrapper and OPM. I am using AutoCAD 2013 and 2014. I have read a lot of posts regarding OPM but there was no useful information in regards to create custom drop-down lists.
im still trying to make a minigun following the tutorial but ive run into a problem, in the tutorial the "paint object" tool is used to implement screws into the model and make it more realistic. i have 3DS MAX 2010 and i believe that tool was introduced in 2011. what should i use instead? is there a plug in or something to get that tool in 2010? or is there some other way i should go about this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently began using Unity at work, exporting from Maya does not allow me to keep Blend Shapes or Deformers (not even by doing a Geometry Cache, Unity does not read any of that) and wanted to test out how to make a facial rig using joints in case I ever need one.I have seen demos using 3D Studio Max and I see the gist of it is to create a round joint hierarchy around the mouth and eye, mimicking the edge flow. The place where I got stuck is when I saw a NURBS controller in Max move a parent joint without affecting the children joints. I know how to move a parent joint without affecting its children (press Insert) but not how to set a constrain to do the same in Maya. If I use a parent constrain or direct parenting moving the parent joint drags all the children along.
How can I get a constrain to affect only the parent joint and not its children?

View 5 Replies View Relatedhow to get a nose to blend into the facial skin. I've searched on the web with no luck. I've used the mesh fill and vector objects with transparencies, but I can't get it to look right..
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a large picture that has ballpoint ink written on part of it. I had no trouble getting the background edited since it was basically the same color. I did end up cloning two different parts of the background and covering it twice to get a blended effect which worked great.
The problem is facial tones. There is ink covering the neck area on the left and the right and the head is at an angle. I haven't been able to pick a color or gradient that works. I tried to clone a different area of the face but that didn't work either. Then I zoomed way in and got each square (pixel?) to show up but it would take me hours to color in each one and there isn't any part of the neck that isn't covered in ballpoint ink so I can't even pick the right skin color/tone.
I downloaded a Gimp program but honestly since I don't know what all those tools are, I don't know which one to use to get it right so I'm hoping someone here can say "use this for this and that for that" so I don't have to trial and error each tool/effect.
Or, if there's another free photo editing program that's easier to use, point me in that direction.

I'm running photoshop cs3 on XP. Does anyone Know how to change the color or I should say the grayscale of facial features on a photo without changing the texture or anything else. These photo are all grayscale.
For instance if I take a photo and invert it all the grayscale is changed. The hair might be lighter, the nose darker, the eyes somewhere inbetween. Of coarse a perfect negative is made. But lets say I want to lighten the nose a bit without changing its texture or anything else about the nose. And I want it all to blend together just as it was done when the photo was initially inverted ....

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have a Structure Style that places a hidden block at the invert of the structure which uses an expression to accomplish Placing the invert text below the structure. (please see attached).
This particular expression was written for a 1"=30 Horz. & 1"=5' Vert. scale and we use it to label our structures in the profile view.
It works great for the 1:30 scale scenario but we also produce 1:20 & 1:50 scale plan / pfl sheets.
3 label styles can be used to accomplish this but would like to create one that would work for all three scenarios if this is possible? (Goal is 1 expression & label style as opposed to 3 of each).
I thought I had it solved & have tried various formulas but can't seem to get it to recognize the various distortions in scale. (The constant being the 5' vertical dimension for all 3 options)

Often we need to collect our topographic/boundary data using a state plane grid, but we still need to label property lines using the recoded deed bearings. We have a style with an expression set up to apply this rotation to lines and a similar one set up for curves. Is there a way to store this rotation and have both expressions look up the value from one place?
I am worried that I will type in the angle for the line labels and then forget to type it in for the curve labels, or maybe the angle is typed in correctly in one expression but incorrectly in the other. If it was typed in once, then even if it was wrong, at least the labels would be consistent and correct relative to each other.
