skinning mouth....

[eek]

could you shows us a pic.. then i can getting a better understanding of the problem.

Also model your characters mouth slightly open, you can also skin via vertice rather than using the envelopes.

Manual Vertex Weighting is what you'll need to use.

However, depending on your needs, using a morph target may be better, since you can create many specific facial expressions that would be difficult to achieve with just Skin.

yeah could do that even do layering add a morph over a skin modifier so you got mouth control with jaw but also morphs.

here is an image.. the mouth is shut.. , yea.. stupid me.. my mistake..

and on the inside you can see the two faces of top and bottom,, intersect each other.

that is my problem, i thought ,that when i use the envvelopes with skinning.. dont know how to call them.. but oke..

think you know what i mean..

it aint possible to select so accurate with those things.

bu i could just select vertices ?

wher can i find that.. is there some of documentation of it or is it just simple..?


i was planning to set up my character with bones.. and make a jaw bone..so i could open my mouth.. and from there morph it..


I also got the script of comit cartoon page.. charrigger

i put all the files where they need to be.. and run script but dont get a damn thing:(.. and it seems to me like a good thing to use..

has someone of you used it yet.. and know how to run it properly..

and if its a good way to go.. ?



one last question.. , do i have to rig the eyes in ? or could i let them be separate.. ? they i just turn them in moprhs or something

There's plenty of documentation on manually adjusting the Skin weights of vertices. Press F1 and look up Skin Modifier in the Max Help files that ship with the program.

Also, sounds like you could benefit from checking out chapter 18 of the Max tutorials: "Using the Skin and Flex Modifiers"
That chapter explains envelopes, vertex painting, and so forth.

i was looking into some stuff. .how to get started with my rig..

i allready rigged a character once but it was ..pretty simple.. dont know .. what rig i used then in max 4


but now the rig in max 5.. that comes with it in the tutorials
also readable on Pepeland.com

isnt that one a little complex.. all that scripting and stuff..

or is it.. just needed and more wise to just use that way of rigging or is this one good to ?
