Sad model and more presets, expressions

[gloww]

Hey there,

i started using MH today and need some explanations for some tasks. First of all let me say how great MH is. The export and import to Blender is just awesome.
Thanks for that.

I searched for some possibilities to make my model more friendly and give it a smile. I think this feature should be under Pose/Animate but in all MH versions I tried it was not there.

Also I am searching for some more cloth and overall presets for MH. Is there something like an online resource where i can find more stuff?

Thanks!

In the meantime i found out that the older alpha has this feature but it seams to be kicked. Can someone tell me if there is a plan to bring it back? Is there an alpha version which already has the feature? Would be great to get some infos on that.

Thanks!

Hi Gloww,
we are working to restore the expressions, if possible in MH 1.1, using the new facial rigging system.
The code is already in the repo, but it's not complete yet.
In the worst case it will be ready for the summer.

Hey Manuel,

thanks for your reply. That seems promising and i saw a video on youtube which looks awsome. So i am looking forward to this.
Is it linked in the unstable build or do i have to compile/bake it myself when i want to try it?

MakeHuman is python, so you don't need to compile it. Anyway the most easy way is to download a nightly build.
The expressions are not active because we have not uploaded the face units database yet.
The facial rigging is already present and can be used (and eportorted) selecting the default rigging in the pose/animation tab.

We have planned some work sessions on the expression system for the next week...stay tuned!

Thanks for the hint.
Only the mhx exporter is missing and with the mhx2 exporter there seems to be no face rigged rig choosable.
But DAE seem to work quit well.
