Published (2009-12-09 07:00:00)
Hi, I'm using Maya 2010. I tried to use a blend shape on my model, they all worked fine in the past. But for some reason, this time, nothing happened. I checked the inputs, and it was all in the correct order, then out of nowhere, the 'face' input (which is what my blendshapes are called) vanished from my mesh! So then I was pretty upset, because now I have to reselect all my blend shapes (thank god i didn't delete...

I agree with BasHe. I think that direct linking is the fastest method, cause we only calculate the transformations once for all connected nodes.

If maya does not update objects on every frame (whichever is set to dirty) how can animation be created? So what maya is doing makes sense.

you may need to modify your Maya.env file to have it source the script prior to load. I have the following line in my Maya.env file Code: MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH = (location of Folder); This allows me to setup a separate folder with all of my scripts that I am using and have maya source that folder from launch.

could you please post some screens or capture ?
would be cool to see your solution in action.
while ago i did two studies and got two different results :
1.
i made a low mesh (proxy),
placed four/five point helpers around the neck and tracked closests vertex using polyOp.getVert
then i used linkedXform with softSelection faking a 'simple skin'
and final i used ...

Hey, so to make it short, rig all you want, but make sure to keep the export rig separate from the control rig. Basically the engine in the end just gets the position and rotation of the joints (some engines also get their scale). There are some ways that some engines support that allow you to have the export rig and the control rig be in the same hierarchies, but you can use some naming ...

for rendering , you can create a "geometry cache" . then you wont need the plugin on other machines .
( there is "srbMultiCache.mel" on creativeCrash.com - if you need to bake more than one mesh / or you can "combine" all your geometry parts before you create the cache-file / and be aware that opening and working with cache-files is going to be really slow , once these cacheFiles are on your ...

Hi...!
Have you tried "checking" the maintain offset box, which retains the position of the eye when the constraint is applied.

The main advantage that I'm aware of is that it helps maintain volume in the knee.

do you know SkinFX plug-In ?
In my opinion, it´s the best muscles system for Max.
hope it helps

what software are you rigging in? i just made this rig and it has some finger controlers that seem to do what you described take a look at it: www.craft.host56.com/3d/Craft_Rig.rar
Anyway, even if you're using some software other than XSI, this uses quite standard methods so you should easily be able to use it to any software.

i don't know really i think that a good rigger has to know some about mel , obiovusly a specialized person can create really powerfull rig, i think that in little studios the rigger can works better with some mel knowledge, but i think that maybe in big company there is a persone specialized only on Mel.
I m guessing only i would like to know for sure too

Look up Maya's Spring IK solver, this could work for you.

havign separeted meshes is not a problem.
but having lost of materials is:
so the solution si having a big multi id with all the materials in one.so the character meshes wil have only one material apply.
Max works much better with one materials than lots, you can do the test ans your render time will be quicker.
Just put a diferent id in each separated mesh and the job will be done....
