morhpher Problem

[peekoot]

let me be the first to welcome you to cgtalk... ;) great forum i must tell you that... :D

about your problem...

maybe it would be safer if you use snapshots instead of just copying the model... obviously, you somehow changed vertex IDs... tell us your modifier stack and exactly from where did you tweak vertices... maybe that will help in finding solution to this...

can't see the image you linked btw... :hmm:

I'd say that MeshSmooth is changing the vertices. Add it after Morpher, instead of before and see if the problem persists.

hey... looks cool.. maybe you can use this effect anyway... :p

just kiddin... ;) there's no need in putting meshshmooth below morpher ... you'll just slow things down couple of times.. and you will get nothing but problems... meshmooth comes above everything that deforms (in 95% cases).... use snapshot to make copies of model that needs to be altered...

hope this helps...

nope :cry:
i've deleted everything above editable poly and then apllied morpher,
it still gets all messed up.

dude, you have to be more specific about what you did in order to receive proper advices...

First off all, if you apply a morpher modifier to the stack, you have to be aware of the fact that the copies (of your model) must have the excact number of vertices. If not, than you're in for some trouble.
What you do is first place the morpher above your other modifiers except the meshsmooth, keep this one above the morpher: this will help you in several ways: 1. you can work much faster, if you model isn't smoothed (make sure "show end result" is turned off on the morpher modifier); second: you will have less difficulties choosing verts, because of the lower number.

Okay, then make a clone of the entire model. Adjust verts, then add the new facial to the morpher modifier on the original model (in the "empty" slots). That will do, if all went well.

Just keep in mind not to add detail to the facials, like don't put on special earrings or other attributes.

Hope this helps!

Sorry, i'll prepare a better explanation on exactly what i did, step by step. I've kept vertex number the same, i couldnt even use it as a target if it didnt have the same number of vertices, perhaps it has something to do with the symmetry modifier, because i only worked on one half for the target.

[MadeInUterus]

that happens because of the symetry modifier, you need to colapse it first.

symmetry mimics the vertex, and the morpher doesn't get that :P .

Actually it completly changes vertex ids, kinda ruined my whole concept of modelling those symetrical morph targets.
