When you say it used to work, what version were you using?
-
I got different OBJs when I used the export plugin
and check Export all frames ( I presume that is all frames under the chor blue bar.)
-
This is largely a note to myself.
While researching another bug, I noticed in TSM2...
1 - a constraint that has "none" as a target. That should not be.
2 - the line of the TSM2 script that creates that constraint indicates the target should be "...toe IK tagger"
3 - However, the line of the script that creates that bone names it "...toes IK tagger" (plural)
Perusing the script, it seems that all other references are to "toes" plural, so #2 is probably the error.
I am surprised that the script has been working all these years. In my experience, when a TSM2 script encounters a bone name that doesn't exist it either crashes or stops executing the script.
So that's another mystery.
update: "1 right inter toes" also has a broken aim at constraint

It looks like that had not made it into the v15 build. Likewise for the scale to x=0 menu option we used at LAT.
You can try the primitives plugin on this page... -
John Purcell introduces functions, a form of reusable code.
When you invoke a function, that causes the program to depart to another portion of your code, execute it, then return to just after the original function call.
This first lesson on functions does not yet consider the important function return values or function parameters, but those are coming.
Sample lesson idea:
Copy the code of your Case and Switch program into a new C++ project and modify it to print the opening title and explanation via a function that is called, rather than having those hard coded into the main() loop of your program
If your Case and Switch program didn't have an opening title and explanation... invent one for your function to print!

Here's the same animation but with a somewhat-better-fitting shirt.

The pre-roll when the model un-shrinks into the cloth looks like this...

I think he's reclining and we're seeing his underside there.
like the guy drinking the wine...
This is him upright and in motion. The tail is a tail...

That looks promising!
I thought the big long thing on him was like the tail on a slug and was behind him. Maybe I'm wrong on that?
My first suggestion is to respline the mouth corner so it is not an actual corner but a U-turn instead. You can quickly terminate the new spline (highlighted) with a hook.
If the mouth opening is one continuous loop it is easy to extrude it inward when you want to make the inside of the mouth.
The part I circled in orange has a dead end spline. That will want to be fixed with some combination of five-pointers and hooks.
I have a video about one user's dead end spline. It's not exactly the same situation but it might be helpful...

oh sorry hahah my bad
I've you'd like that we should look at a scene at LAT, save a PRJ with all the models embedded, put it in a ZIP and send it to me in a PM before we get started.

hmmm oh ok what's LAT?

One more Merry Christmas, John!

Lighting is a whole topic in itself. Perhaps if you brought a shot to LAT we could look at economical ways to light it better.

Merry Christmas, Yopp!

Happy Christmas wishes to everyone!

To make an orthogonal camera that sees a 8.5 inch wide view we can use this equation
width in cm = 200 * (100/focal length)
or width = 20,000/focal length
Algebra leads us to this equation... focal length = 20,000/width
convert inches... 8.5" * 2.54 = 21.59cm
We want a view width of 21.59 cm
20,000/21.59 = 926.35
inputting a focal length of 926.35 into the orthogonal camera creates this view which does appear to be 8.5 inches wide
You can put any pixel resolution into the camera and it will not change the width of the view.. The focal length is what changes the width.
If you put in a 2550 pixels that will render the 8.5" wide view with 2550 pixels.
However... A:M tags all renders with a DPI of 72. You will need to take the A:M render into a photo app that can alter the document's DPI setting as shown above and set it to 300

What program are you printing from?
The DPI of your printer doesn't matter.
What matters is how many DPI your document believes itself to have.
Here are two JPGs printed out.
Both are 100 pixels wide but they print out at different sizes because they have different DPI information as part of the data stored in their JPG file format.
And I don't even know what the DPI of the printer is.

I've never gone all the way through Barry Zundel's rigging process since I don't use his rig. I just know that other people have gotten a successful result... recently... so it must work in some fashion.
Here is how mirroring bones, CP weights, and constraints is done with current A:M tools. Note that the model I demonstrate with already has an exactly mirrored mesh, having done that with Copy/Flip/attach. You want your splines to be exactly mirrored for this stuff to work.
