how to control hi-poly faces!! on max 7 - nice tip!!!

[jeb]

yeah, thats a clever way to use the skinwrap modifier and saving polygons, that tool is just revolutionary for max users. dont have to worry about skinning clothes anymore. It would be cool to make animated normal bumps driven by a morph expression via reaction manager, to get something like gollum details in expressions.Hmm sounds like a nice exercise , might try that someday.:)

[captainchet]

w00t! this is the first of many great things to come from the skinwrap modifier. what a great addition to max. Thanks for the tip!

[Yourworstnightmare]

Great tip D-3, but does this work with max 6, because i have never seen a skinwarp modifier in max 6.

[FreakyDude]

skinwrap is a new feature in max 7. Check their site for features and stuff...

just wondering how you got the nice folds in the skin etc, i see your low poly mesh, youve just appled a mesh smooth to get the hipoly version there?

edit: i guess the low poly mesh your using there is a difrent one just for used for morphing?

[jason-slab]

i used this method on a project i did last week.
the only problem i ran into was:

my higherpoly char was a single mesh animated with bones using the skin modifier on. i used the low poly head to drive the face morph only, but i ran into problems using skin and wrap modifier together on the higher mesh.

my stack looked like this:

turbosmooth
skinwrap
skin
mesh

i also tried this order(which make more sense)

turbosmooth
skin
skinwrap
mesh

they both end up destorting the mesh in different {not so cool} ways. i still havn't found a good solution for this.

and i missing something or did u run into similar problems?

hy guys!!

Gibbz - is 2 diferent models... the hi-poly and lowpoly is diferent in number of verteces and detail. i´m maked the lowpoly model to match the hi-poly, and maked the morphs on lowpoly to control easy the hi-polyface.
Why?: because u cam modifer easy and fast the lowpoly, get a fast interaction in viewport to animate

the low control the hi.

jason|slab- your problem is because you skin the hi-poly model.. in this time u get to conflitant influence, skinwarp of lowpoly model no skined, end hi-poly skined.

try to skin the low-loly
try to make yor stack

Lowpoly:
skin
morph
editablepoly

Hi-poly:
turbosmooth
skinwarp
editablepoly

[jason-slab]

yeah i could do that, but then i have to have my whole mesh lowpoly, whereas i just wanted a lowpoly head to control the highpoly head on my model, like in maya, you can wrap to multiple meshes to a single highpoly mesh.

dunno if that sounds clear enough?

In Skin wrap you can also wrap to multiple meshes. You can also have multiple Skin Wrap modifiers if you like.

[D-3]

jason|slab - u need to skin the lowpoly faces to , because it should be slipping the influences.
you understand. think this is the problem... hehehe

Thanks Mr. Pen by the coment!!

c ya all!!

[jason-slab]

yeah i know this! i'm just having problems drivin my highpoly model with the low one, it's sliding and deforming all wrong.

thx D-3 ,lol i didn't even think of skinnning the low poly mesh too!!:blush: i will try it later
