HI,
could I have access to the tutorial as well? This will come in handy for a Research Assistant who wants to use 3DS Max.

Thank you.

Kind Regards,
Iwan

Hi,

As I already posted, there is currently no tutorial for creating morph targets for complete characters. The instructions I posted above outline the process. If you have any specific questions I can answer them for you.

Hi,

I do apologise, I thought what you meant by tutorial was like a pdf or html format that is geared more towards beginner-artist side.

Thank you, much appreciated

Kind Regards,
Iwan

I succeed to modify the mesh to the desired morph state and to export to a to a cal3d mesh file: mouth_open.CMF.
When I add the new morph to my avatar cfg, I have the following error when I run the script.
** WARNING: Failed to load morph file: mouth_open.CMF
cal3d : Internal error in .\coremesh.cpp(145)
what could be the problem.

Hi,

Did you define the morph immediately after you defined the mesh for the head? Your cfg file should look like the following:

.
.
mesh = headmesh.cmf
morph = mouth_open.cmf

mesh = othermesh.cmf
.
.
