Bonyface - Facial Rigging Tool For 3dsmax

#41

Since I found out about this plugin from the Zign Track site, I was wondering if anyone has a bone structure set up for Zign Track’s default output? From reading the BonyFace manual I guess you’d only have to do this once.

#42

I’m getting a “no distance” function undefined error while testing this, even with the default model. It didn’t do that when I first tested this the other week. Could it be something I changed in Max, like Units, that Bony Face doesn’t like? (using trial version)

#43

May be, but it is not units, actually this is the first time i hear about such kind of bug. Tell me details - when, where and screenshot plz.

#44

I’m working on next 2.6 version.
What’s new:
1.Increased rig performance
2. An ability to rotate jaw along local y
3. Toolbar with main tools and buttons
4. Faster appearance of Face window
5. Reconstructed UI of Drive window - separate rollout for options of each layer’s type

#59

BonyFace 2.6 was added on site (10 free sessions included) for anybody, who wants to test grimaces and other extended stuff.

bfs-files of 2.6 and 2.7 are 100% compatible.
Rigs of 2.6 and 2.7 aren’t fully compatible, so you have to rig in 2.6 to operate extended tools of 2.6 correctly.

This winter (until release of BF 3.0) you can get BF 2.7 with a 50% discount.
