Nik

Thanks a lot

Any one could do a paid task of attaching squetch rig to some characters I modeled ,and what will be the cost per character ?

It is working , thanks a lot Cool. There are also BVH Poses that will work whether you are using BVH data or the Action exported from Zign Track. Most of those Poses are there to increase or decrease the amount of movement used from the BVH data or exported Action...there are also a couple that add in things that the data can't, like lip curling. I see , if I want to decrease the eye brow movement , where to find those poses?

It is working , thanks a lot

What version are you using, Nik? I haven't tried it in multiple versions...I should probably do that. I'll do some messing with it tonight when I get home. ------------------- EDIT ------------------- For the test, I was using v13t. I am using version 15

It is working , thanks a lot One thing I realized while watching your tutorial that Sam is opening his mouth while the action is played when I played it , it seems that he is only moving his jaw without articulation Is there anything I need to modify ? Everything I did is in the video...did you do something different? It should work the same. If you continue to have a problem, make a quick video to show what you're doing...it might make it easier to track down. I followed your video exactly , and the animation worked in choregraphy but i doubt that the bones are moving as they should I opend the prj you sent me with Tom2.act and rendered it without changing a thing Can you please do a render and check if they are behaving the same way test.mov

Here's an updated version of Squetchy Sam and an updated Action setup in a Project with your Action...I'll include these fixes in the next release. Sorry about the problems, Nik. You are the first person to test the Action Zign Track output with Sam...at least that has said anything. ----------------- EDIT ----------------- I'm not sure if the lower lip problem was because of the capture...let me know if there is still an issue. The lower lip is a tracking problem I opened the prj with updated Action setup , the action worked properly , i deleted this action(Tom2) and i imported a new action Tom3 , and dropped it onto Sam , but it didn't work What am i doing wrong ? Thanks Just to be sure: In the chor, did you attach the action to the character or did you change the blend-mode in the chor-window? See you *Fuchur* I tried first to drop the action onto sam it didn't work , then i opened the zign track action setup and dragged my exported action onto the shortcut to the character in the zign track action setup, it didn't work in the choreography either

The BVH is working without head movement in the last version i had , with the prj you gave it is working with head movement I renamed the bones in zign as you mentioned and imported both v13_Zign_Track_Action_Setup_04_10_2008B.act and my zign action , i can see the animation in the graph but it isn't applied to Sam in the Choreography Here is an exported zign action file , don't mind the motion tracked !! Can you plz check it tom2.act

It's in the tutorial...read the tutorial, Nik. It's called "Using_Zign_Track_BVH_with_FACE_12_05_2007B.pdf" and is in the ZIP file named "13s_Posable_Squetch_Rig_installations_04_25_2011a.zip". I read the the tutorial , I exported both action and Bvh from zing track When I import the action file to AM , I can see the animation in action mode , but when I return to choreography mode it is not working , any clue?

Is there a download for squetchy Sam , with a Zign track ready facial rigg ? The rig in Squetchy Sam has a setup that will work with Zign Track...at least it worked with Zign Track v1.3. There are instructions included with the rig installation in this post. Hope that helps. I understand that i don't need to re-attach zign rigg. Then is there any tutorial that shows how to load zign captured bvh into Squetchy Sam ?
