How does MH do smooth ?

[Brei]

Hi,
I've read MH docs, and got that MH implements changing body measurement by do partial Morphing, right?

But when I did the same thing there was alway an "Edge and Corner" problem between the adjacent meshes.
I mean the common edge between the adjacent meshes is sharp when partial morphing was performing.

It seems that this problem is nonexistent in the MH.
So I really want to know how MH does it? Is there any good smooth method?

Thanks so much.

We just recalculate the normals after each morph.

Thank you so much for reply.

One more question.
In MH 1.06a, when i change the value of "Stomach" slider bar, which parts was taken in morphing?

And did you do subdivision after morph?

Thanks

Any amount of vertices can change. We don't subdivide unless you work in "smooth" mode.

I am so appreciate for your patience , i think i didn't illustrate my question clearly.

You divide the base.obj model into many sub-objects to be able to select certain marco or micro regions in the application.
So when a certain girth need to be changed, how do you fix which parts in the base.obj need to do morphing?
In other words, how do you define the vertex indices in the .target file (in the /data/targets/ folder)

Thanks.

As far as morphs are concerned there is only one object.

could you please say more about this? Thanks.

and how do you define the info in .target file?

i am studying your method for my project , so i really want to get more info about the details.

Thank you, thank you so much.

If you need things for your own project, I need to remind you that all code and data is licensed under the GPL3, so if you use any data from MakeHuman you need to place your project under the GPL3 as well.

The targets contain vertex indices and their displacement for a full morph. However the factors with which each morph is applied can depend on one or more dimensions of the human.

Yeah,of course, i am so clear about it. it just a project in library of university.

could you please tell me how do you determine the numeral value of the vertex index and their displacement for a full morph?

Thanks .

Like I said, it's just vertex index i followed by a displacement vector d, so you do for each entry vertex[i] += f * d with f between 0 and 1.
