Problems with avatars facial expressions exported with Cal3D
Hi all,
I am working with the Vizard Complete Characters library and I would like to import into vizard an avatar with a painful facial expression. I modeled this expression in 3DS max and exported it following the instructions of the CAL3D tutorial but I had the strange results you see in the attached screenshots. Furthermore vizard sends me this error: Code:
Loading File: casual02_m_highpoly_Expressions/casual02_m_highpoly_painful.cfg ** WARNING: Failed to load animation file: male_high_pain.CAF Warning: Material::setShininess() of 6400 is above permitted maximum, clampping to 128. Warning: Material::setShininess() of 6400 is above permitted maximum, clampping to 128. ** Load Time: 0.12 seconds Could you please tell me where is the error? Here's the source code: Code:
import viz import vizact viz.go() viz.MainView.setPosition( 0, 1.5, 0 ) av_painful = viz.add('casual02_m_highpoly_Expressions/casual02_m_highpoly_painful.cfg', pos=( 0, 0, 1.5 ), euler=(180,0,0)) neutral = vizact.morphTo( 0, 0, 1 ) pain = vizact.morphTo( 0, 1, 1 ) wait = vizact.waittime(vizact.randfloat(1,5)) action = vizact.sequence( wait, neutral, pain, viz.FOREVER ) av_painful.addAction(action) Code:

Make sure the number of vertices in the morph mesh matches the number of vertices in the base mesh. Also the materials need to have "[number]" at the end of their names in Max. This is explained at the beginning of the of the exporting section in part 4:
http://download.gna.org/cal3d/docume.../tutorial.html I'll put together a small knowledge base article in the next few days with some guidelines for setting up and exporting the morph targets. |

Dear Jeff
Excuse me for resuming this post after so long, but I am still having some problems in getting the entire exporting process correct, particularly in the material files loading. I have attached the result of my modified avatar when I load it in vizard. The texture of the face still doesn't show (everything else works fine: equal number of vertices, bones, animations and morphs). Here's the sequence of steps that I make when I export materials: 1-I open the material editor in 3ds MAX and rename the body texture as "body[0]" and the hair_transparent as "hair_transparent[1]" 2-I open the export command, choose .CRF format, name it "casual02_m_highpoly.CRF" and choose "body[0]" in step 1, and then "casual02_m_25.tga" in step 2 3- I make the same sequence for "casual02_m_highpoly01.CRF" and "hair_trasparent[1]", but this time I never find any .tga file in step 2 below is the .cfg file Code:

Hi Armo,
You will still need to choose "body[0]" when exporting both the "casual02_m_highpoly.CRF" and "casual02_m_highpoly01.CRF" hence the "hair_trasparent[1]" is not an existing tga texture. Best, Kevin |
