Softimage :: How To Find Workflow Between Face Robot And 3Ds Max
Jun 14, 2012
I am trying to find a workflow between face robot and 3ds max and so far I haven't been able to find one.
My investigation has led me here;

I am looking at purchasing point oven but in the meantime thought I'd try other options.
I looked into the "send to max" in the file menu but this doesn't seem to be setup for transfer of meshes more to do with particles?
[URL]...
I have used crosswalk and it will transfer a mesh but no textures and it will only transfer simple animations such as scale keyframes but nothing with regards to facerobot. The best result I've seen so far with crosswalk is that the face will be exported along with a morph target set but the morphs do nothing and all bones come in as dummy object with simple skinning. Not ideal as it negates the benefits of using face robot for implementing face capture into the pipeline.
I have seen the youtube video from Blur Studios explaining their workflow with facerobot on dantes inferno but they don't go into any detail.
UPDATE : Found out that crosswalk does not support facerobot transfer with any version of max.
I want to know if there is a way to edit the Face Robot layout? The buttons in the Face Robot panel to the right of the screen are too large. They don't all fit on screen. Is there a way to shrink the buttons so they all fit?
I just exported the animation rig option from Face Robot to dotxsi. When I try to import the dotxsi to a new Softimage scene there is no animation. What am I missing?
Most of my experience is with Maya, but I am using Face Robot for the lipsync feature. I've now imported a c3d mocap file into Face Robot to animate the eyebrows and head motion.
This works very well, I use the adjust feature to tune out the motion I don't want (jaws, lips etc) just leaving the rest.
Great, except if I enable head rotation in the Face Robot c3d options, the neck rotates 90 in the X and 90 in the Z axes, effectively twisting the neck and contorting the head into this position. The rest of the animation (including slight head rotations) works well.
I noticed that the c3d file is not facing down the +ve Z axis in Face Robot or MotionBuilder. Is there a way to change this? I've tried manual rotation of the c3d markers, changing in MotionBuilder and re-saving the c3d data. Nothing works.
The c3d mocap comes from the new Face Shift Studio program which captures data with a kinect sensor, but it is the same with other c3d files I have downloaded.
I am not able to find the proper folder in Windows Vista for installing additional actions.

Was going to do another round of revisons to some ice cream labels, this came up while opening 11 flavors. Only came up on one, and is gone now. Seems like the fonts for showing the font technology changed to a font similar to Apple color Emoji, amybe a font in the show package contents.
Usually i just do stills, but soon i maybe will have to animate the work of a robot like that one:

I can do it just manually by moving the different parts of the robot according to the needs of the animation. But is there a way to automate/ease up animation of such a robot? Because the way that i do it is just quite slow and if i have to animate 30 robots which are doing different things it would take me a century.
what exactly I would have to do to this pic to not make the girl look so... robotly. I'm pretty sure its something in the eyes but it just looks sooo fake.
I'm trying to animate a 6-axis robot in Inventor 2012 Pro, which moves to about 10 different locations. I'm using parameters to drive the constraints to position the wrist, and I have several different positional representations with unsuppressed / modified constraints. When I try to animate between the positional reps in IV Studio, the parts just snap into place instead of interpolating between each location. Also, I have to manually enter the timing for each step, instead of just entering the max angular velocity of each joint.
Would it be easier to create the animation in dynamic simulation using a spatial joint at the wrist? I'd like for the positions to still be modifiable through the parameters.
I am working on 2 Axis Robot dynamic Simulation. It is suppose to lift weight up by 22" travel horizontally and bring down 22". My input is positions (I noted down angles at four corners for both arms and used them in Input Imposed Motion.) In the simulaiton run, movement is not in a straight line. It kinda moves in a curve. How can I get it perfectly straight.
I'm building a robot, and I have taken all these picture of metal objects in my city, but now I want all of my metal pics to be copper. What is the easiest & fastest way to take a image that is metal and make it copper and still retain it's texture?
I am wanting to draw lines from gun setup to the back sight, and then from the gun to all the radial shots that were taken from that setup. I would like to do this as automatically as possible. (i.e. a bunch of radial lines from the gun to each individual shot from that setup).
Our raw files are in TDS format. I could do it manually by using the transparent command 'PN, but I would have to draw a line from the setup to the shots individually.
Otherwise, I could write a lisp that asks me for the setup pt number, and I could give it a range ot pt #'s and have it draw lines from the gun to each of the pts in the range. (that is, if 'PN works in lisp).
how to edit a solid with opening a hole only one face and deleting an another face..
I added a drawing file which has a coloured face solid,I put a circle on blue face and making a hole on this face,and I want to delete red face without exploding solid,after all this I want to mesh this solid with maximum 25 units.
All I need to do is merge a circular face to a flat face, so both faces become one continuous face. Is this possible at all?
I have a attached a screenshot to show what I mean. Face 1 needs to be merged with face 2. This is so if I constrain anything to that face it will constrain to the entire face and not either the circular face OR the flat face.
when I anchor the layer face over the background face the floating selection disappears which means I cannot work on the layer face and therfore am unable to erase the layer face into the background face,this is on gimp 2.6
Is there a way to use PRESSPULL on a face that's behind or underneath another face. Â When I use PRESSPULL it always selects the face on top and sometimes I want a face that is behind or underneath that face. Â
I am unable to do anything with the Crowd FX part of ICE. I click on Actor, Crowd and Simulation and i don't get any thing.
When i click on any of the tabs i.e. Actor, i get this little box with two dashes in it and when i click on that i get an empty window. I was able to use everything in Crowd FX two days ago but for some reason i can't now. URL...
I am designing slides in Photoshop using the DV video preset. Except I want to use these same files for print output as well. So here is my workflow: 1) Created video preset template but resized to 300 dpi2) Create slides3) Output slides to 72 dpi jpg4) Put into Premiere Elements5) Burn to DVD (except my app won't recognize my DVD burner now so I have to use Windows DVD maker but that is a different topic.) Then, I am using the same slides in a printed album:1) Switch the resolution on the 300 dpi to "square" pixels2) Save as jpg for my album template3) Put into a page frame I made out of an 8.5 x 11 doc (plus required bleed) So, my question is, do I need to switch to square pixels? I am not sure which way the picture was originally scanned, but I think switching to square pixels should be accurate...it is just that they are looking wide and I may just have gotten used to the other way. The rectangle pixel document actually fits onto the 8.5 x 11 album page better...but I want to do it the "right" way for print.
At the moment I animate the weight from 0 to 1 and vice versa over a frame, but when I reopen the damn scene its all wacky. What the heck is going on here?
I tried to install ET PickUp but its giving me an error to do so.
I'm new to soft Image,I don't know how to get the menu,where I can make lipsync,plus I can't get it out of the wireframe,when I click textured,the model disappears. It should be a blue button "Scan".
I have a problem where softimage 2011 crashes right after I double click the icon. I have tried reinstalling it and that has not fixed it. It only flashes a windows console for about .5 seconds and then does nothing afterwards.
