Adding custom faces

[mjabon]

Hello. I am trying to add a custom .vzf face to my avatar, but the face simply does not show up. I have read the posts on adding custom heads and tried the tips in them to no avail. We are just using a stock avatar body, but want the face of the child (the new vzf) on the avatar. We tried the following:

## CHILD SETUP
child = viz.add("child/child.cfg")
# texture with children's clothes
child.texture(textures[gender], 'm_legs.cmx')  
child.texture(textures[gender], 'm_torso_LS.cmx') 
child.texture(textures[gender], 'm_shoes.cmx')
# add custom head
childFace = viz.addFace(headFilename)
childFace.scale(.30, .30, .30)
child.setFace(childFace)

We also tried

## CHILD SETUP
child = viz.add("child/child.cfg")
# texture with children's clothes
child.texture(textures[gender], 'm_legs.cmx')  
child.texture(textures[gender], 'm_torso_LS.cmx') 
child.texture(textures[gender], 'm_shoes.cmx')
# add custom head
childFace = viz.add(headFilename)
childFace.scale(.30, .30, .30)
child.face(childFace)

None work. We just get the default face showing up.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Are you getting any error when you try that? Have you tried specifying the head and neckbone?

childFace = viz.addFace(headFilename)
child.setFace( childFace, 'Bip01 Head', 'Bip01 Neck' )

Perhaps the scale of the head is off?

The PeopleMaker app has that automatic scale to good size button.
