Moving, blinking eyes for Complete Character Set

[Jeff]

For the original Complete Characters, instead of morph targets you could remove the eye mesh and add eyeball geometry in Max. These would be child nodes of the head that could be rotated. Similar to the method used in the biohead file and head.py script in the tutorials\avatars folder of the Vizard install.

Here is an example of moving the eyes of the male HD character included with Vizard:

import viz
import vizact
viz.go()

viz.add('piazza.osgb')

male = viz.addAvatar('vcc_male2.cfg',pos=[0,0,1],euler=[180,0,0])
male.state(1)

leftEyeLeft = vizact.boneSpinTo('Bip01 LEye',mode=viz.AVATAR_LOCAL,euler=[-15,0,0],time=2)
rightEyeLeft = vizact.boneSpinTo('Bip01 REye',mode=viz.AVATAR_LOCAL,euler=[-15,0,0],time=2)

def moveEyesLeft():
	male.addAction(leftEyeLeft,pool=1)
	male.addAction(rightEyeLeft,pool=2)
	
vizact.onkeydown('1',moveEyesLeft)
