Hi David,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad it works for you!

Let me know if you need anything else for this.

My best wishes for your project.

Thank you very much for trying, MaverickMongoose!

Thanks you, MaverickMongoose.

Thank you very much, David.

Have a great weekend

Hi, pizza-revenue,

Yes, that is my impression. As long as the Connectors stay 100%, the energy doesn't change based on the connectors. So, the energy must come from the energy that the simulation calculates. I would say that the initial state holds old energy, but there is something working on it; otherwise, it would be static.

Example:
CV4_2024_drs_24_SIis_11.c4d
Press play and observe the slider Target Length of the Connector.
This is how I explore those things. Make little test scenes. Then, different ones to double-check.

I thought about making it editable, but not knowing in which state they are when connected made me uncertain. I like to work with files here, not guessing.
This doesn't mean I have a solution in the "drawer". Sorry.

Cheers

Hi, VR Theatre,

Thank you very much.

Yes, please do so!

I suggested a second Icon image to use with an easy access (a copy of the original that can be altered. With a right mouse click on the icon in question, the artist/user can choose between default or the individually created version per icon, so it is easy customize. Any update on the default doesn't "kill" the alternative version. (I avoid asking to have the alternative taken over completely, as that would not fly well with needed updates.
I'm curious about your idea; please submit it. Thanks for your effort.

Cheers

Hi David,

You are in good hands with Noseman.

Please remember that UVs are one of the most avoided themes, but if you walk through this material, you will feel empowered. Fingers crossed, you will enjoy that feeling very soon!

Cheers

This sounds great, Gabe Gonzales, I love to hear that it works for you.

My best wishes for your project

Hi Simon,

Planting the foot flat on the ground might take a few iterations. Since I don't have the file here, I can't tell you more.

Typically, Inverse kinematics is used to make the end of a leg more easily placed.

Please have a look here:

Around minute 20, see timestamps. Typically a 2D IK setup.

Let me know how it goes.

All the best

You are very welcome, tie-version.

Hi erwin,

Just WOW!

I have explored Anime and Manga for a while now (a massive pile of movies and books are the result of it, just to validate my WOW!)

Based on what I have researched of Japanese Studios in the past years alone, your work is surely on that level.

Thank you so much for sharing your work here. I saw that you even gave me credit—this very nice of you.

I hope you continue to explore and find more of those great results.

Vielen Dank! Thank you very much!

My best wishes

P.S.: As you said on your site, you are looking for your style. Your explorations look great, and yes, what to pick and where to dive deeper into it… It will come!

Thanks for the feedback, David.

I'm glad that works for you.

My best wishes for the project

Hi table-state,

Using Mac for over three decades, I have not seen any app (I learned so far over 300) or OS (I never counted those 😉 )that had endless scrolling.
There was 20 years ago (?) an option for Smooth scolling, but that is gone for a while now.
But who knows? I'm sure I can miss something, of course.

If so, please check with tech support or make a feature request, including why that is important to you.

Hi cyrilrueg,

The idea (of the tutorial you shared) is that the models (e.g., hair and beards) are based on a universal head (Base Head).
To fit this to the target head, the Warp application
https://faceform.com/download-wrap/
is used to change the shape so the objects fit the new head.

This is done by estimating the surface location among the closest vertices to each "card" and moving the card's axis to this Point. (At least, that is my understanding of the process.)

If that is not a given, a manual adjustment is needed, and it might be some work to get a good match. Not fun. So, let me share an idea here.

I do not have the needed Objects here, but I would subdivide a copy of the target head so the "resolution" would be high enough and then use the System Preset in XPresso "Get Nearest Point" to plant the card axis to this Point.
I presume the model (Hair/Beard) is merged, so the single cards must be created to run an iteration for all and then merged again afterward.

This is not something I like to do here, as it is a guess, but here is a little example: Move the "Search" Null, and the "Found" Null will jump to the nearest Point. This is the idea in a Nutshell. Instead of interpolating (as in the tutorial), we produce much more points and use those.

Thanks for the reply, AlexC.,

Thank you very much for the update, cyrilrueg!

My best wishes for the project.

Thanks for the reply, cyrilrueg.

Enjoy your project!

Thank you very much, table-state.

… and I'm very happy to have had the honor of being part of this forum for over 18 years now.

I had a pleasant conversation with one of the developers about this, which made me feel hopeful. However, I'm indeed not allowed to say more (NDA).

I love to share, as I think we all have our own way of expressing things, and technology should not hinder our ability to do so; it should always support our creativity.

In that way, enjoy your project.

Thank you very much for the feedback, AlexC.
