wwoelbel Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Hey Anzovin fans. I have a thought that I'd like to run by you all related to another possible use of WeightMover. I am looking at creating clothing libraries for a couple of my models. The models are naked to begin with. Could I take a copy of the naked model, apply the clothes, remove any unnecessary splinage and then run the weightmover using the original model as the lowres proxy? I'm thinking that I could get decent movement of the clothed model without having to rebuild/re-rig with each change of clothes. What do you think? Am I out in left field? Bill Quote
wwoelbel Posted November 1, 2004 Author Posted November 1, 2004 Any thoughts from Team Anzovin on this? Any potential or am I barking up the wrong tree completely? Quote
anzovin Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 This is Morgan's bailiwick, but she's been eyebrow-deep in another project and apparently not checking the boards. I will prod her for some comments. ;-) --Steve Anzovin Studio Quote
Morgan Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 Sounds entirely possible to me, although you may need to do some tweaking of the proxy and re-weighting to get exactly the results you want. Even so, I imagine it will save you a lot of time, especially if your clothes are unusually spline-heavy -- with lots of modelled wrinkles, for example. I'll be interested to see your results. -Morgan Quote
wwoelbel Posted November 4, 2004 Author Posted November 4, 2004 My model is "in the shop" until after Turkey Day but I am keeping myself busy "sewing" clothes for him. I hope to be able to show some progress in early December. I'll share my results with the crowd. Bill Quote
