I'm now noticing that, for girls who had an altered (usually thinner) waistline, apparently that was also a morph which didn't carry over. Sorry, looks like the freshman 15 is real, and a bitch.[DOUBLEPOST=1458623519,1458623212][/DOUBLEPOST]On an unrelated note, to keep myself working at a steady pace on this instead of getting distracted and wandering off to do something else, I usually put on music. Lately, it's been the Kevin Macleod's "Pixel Peeker Polka." On repeat. FOREVER.
I'm pretty sure that's how clothing worked in most of the Gen13 comics.

Shakey's face is problematic.
I snapped my snapshot/ripped the meshes from a scene where she was grinning, and apparently that particular morph carried over into the mesh. I didn't think it was such a big deal, but not being able to start from a neutral expression is making the facial morphs that much more difficult.

Another day, another copyright ding on my account. Sorry Germany, apparently you don't get to watch this one because Warner.
So hey, I figured out how to make people hold stuff.
Gonna be a couple, maybe 3 weeks for the next video, though, as I'm going out of town tuesday and will be gone a week.. and obviously unable to work on this while I'm gone.

And in all honesty, that's probably gonna be how it is in most things I do with this. I'm not great at motion stuff. Improvements come, but they come slowly.
So this wasn't one where you plugged in the character into an existing bit? I was gonna place all the blame on the other guy.

Actually, yes it was, but stuff I do myself is MUCH closer to this, in fact, probably even worseSo this wasn't one where you plugged in the character into an existing bit? I was gonna place all the blame on the other guy.

Yeah, yeah, I've resumed work. Just a little note of amusing interest here... this is one of the meshes I delete out of every model I convert. I don't know what it is. I think it's a tongue. But why would it be over 2 feet long? That's some serious ahegao.
[DOUBLEPOST=1460088082,1460087723][/DOUBLEPOST]Now that I look at it, what if it's not 2 feet long... but is stretched 2 feet WIDE for some reason...?
Let me just rescale the X axis aaaaaand..
Yep. That's definitely a tongue. Why it would be stored in memory as a mesh wider than the model's shoulders I have NO idea. In any case, I'll still be getting rid of it as it's already complicated enough to manipulate the face for talking, and there's no phonemes or facial morphs involving the tongue... so it's probably just best to continue getting rid of it.

At least if you want to keep everything PG-13.
Just like the rest of me.

I'm seriously considering not giving it physics.
The main problem was that Dei's hairstyle is actually an amalgamation of 3 separate hairstyles, all with length morphs (the front and back to as short as possible, the sides to as long as possible), and as I've noted before, the length morphs don't seem to carry over in the rip. So I have to adjust the vertices myself, and it's tough to eyeball sometimes.

That's the most unfortunate orgasm face I've ever seen.

This was not the video I wanted to make, but it turns out the movement data I was planning to use was a liiiiiitle too demanding on the skirt physics, and there was no real way around it other than basically starting over and using the gym clothes model so there wouldn't be any skirt at all, so instead I punted and fell back on another lame meme.

Show it to whoever you want. I don't mind. I just make them "unlisted" so that my 3500 Space Engineers-based subscribers don't freak out.
I've been crossposting them to the HFA2 blogspot as well for easy locating.
