Hello Hardcore-Softies
i need some help with correcting existing shapes on an enveloped character.
What I did so far: some shapes, some of them linked to rotation values
(bones) of the rig.
These already correct the envelope deformation. Now I want additional
shapes which will correct the resulting shape, in this case when the
mouth is open.
What I tried: changing the rotation of the mouthbone to the desired
deformation (mouth is open) then set the value of the shape in this case
"smile" to 1, then switching to secondary-mode make some move component
to correct the geomety and after that I store a Shape key.
But unfortunately this new shape i not correct because this shape stores
also the existing deformation inside but i want only the new move
components!
Shape Preferences -reference is set to Local Relative, rest is default
Softimage.
ps. I also tried this: shape and envelope-deformation with desired
values, than in secondary changing the geometry ,mute the animationmixer
-apply shapekey , moving this new shape from the mixer/source/shape
inside the animationmixer than the movecomponent will be automatical
deleted, and i have the shape only with the new changes , its working
but now the shapemanager "says" that this feature is not supported! I
can only link the shapes oldschool via the animationmixer! now dear
reader you would say "wtf! this is already the solution! copy this shape
and paste it to your original setup scene then you have it!" but maybe
there is a better way?!
In short. correcting existing shapes with adding a new shape.
Thanks for ideas, tricks or lifesigns of existing softimage-user
