Sorry if add a question: Need to combine two enveloped meshes ( face and body ) and two different rig ( facial rig and body rig ) into one
Soft workflow: First simply Parent the facial rig to the body rig on the neck controller; then select the face first and then the body, merge > transfer attributes ( tada! ) Similar/same workflow inside Maya is possible? reading all the post related to Maya looks like the mesh combining is a big deal... 2014-06-13 13:37 GMT+02:00 Gerbrand Nel <[email protected]>: > Thanks guys! > Not the answers I was hoping for but at least I now know :) > Love this list! > G > > On 2014/06/13 12:31 PM, Mirko Jankovic wrote: > > for #3 keep in mind that is NOT Scene explorer in Softimage, nor it > provides same functions so take care there. > Nodes in Maya were always kind of labyrinth to me and SI scene explorer > was fresh air giving real overview and control of everything in scene. > That is not something you have in Maya. > Not to mention Max's new scene explorer if anyone with right mind would > even call it like that. > > > On Fri, Jun 13, 2014 at 11:37 AM, Perry Harovas <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> And to show I am not just here to laugh, the answer to #2 and #3 below: >> >> #2: No, and whats more, do not fcheck while rendering.
