Hello,
I'm a graduate student in Singapore trying to use SmartBody to replicate an
experiment. I've been trying to get Doctor to display facial expressions (eg.
smile, frown) using the existing animation files found in
data>sbm-common>common-sk , but so far have had no luck writing any sort of
sequence file that works. I can call the motion and posture animations, but
whenever it comes to the face, he stays blank.
I've looked at previous emails in the archives, and tried some of the options
there... Tried using BML commands typed in directly into the cmd line (eg.
<face type="FACS" au="4" amount="0.6" />), but it doesn't seem able to
recognise or parse those BML commands. Tried the method of duplicating the
keyframe information in the SKM files, similar to viseme_er_1sec, both with and
without -facebone, with varying intervals of time. None of it seems to work,
not even the original examples ("viseme_er_1sec" and "viseme_er_10sec"). I read
also that it may be possible to loop the animation by setting it as a <body
posture>, but I'm not quite sure where or how to do that.
I would be really grateful if you could tell me what the problem is, or
preferably show a worked example to display one facial expression so I can
figure out how to extrapolate others from that. On a slightly different but
related note, is it possible to blend the different AU animations if I call
them at the same time in the SEQ file, or do I have to call them one at a time?
Thanks,
Joshua
