Hey,

thanks for the answer! yes, I had the shapes, and I freezed it. I'll
take another look when I have the time..

Re: 2 questions regarding ICE / blendshapes

Hi balaz been a while since I used XSI ICE overall, but you did create your
shapes first in advance before trying to write to them correct?
Also, did you freeze the ICE tree after you set it?

I don't know about such "visual wireframes", maybe you can share an image.

I would do what you mentioned to transfer the shapes, first create the
shape targets then source their positions with get closest location,
closest points, since you mention they match positions and then set their
positions and freeze the ICE Tree

Good luck

ps: if you ever need to filter such noise, you have to insert 'length'
before the filter, just noticed :)

2 questions regarding ICE / blendshapes

[balazs kiss]

Hi all!

I'm trying to understand what is wrong with the methods I came up with
( I've solved both issues with extra steps, but it's still unclear to
me what went wrong in the 1st place ).

case 1 : trying to transfer blendshapes from mesh A to B, where B had
different topo, but most point positions were the same ( close to
100%, and 100% where the transfer supposed to happen). I've tried
tried closest location on geo(surface or vertex mode made no
difference)->get data(shape positions)->set data(shape positions). It
kinda worked, but there was a visual wireframe pattern on the
transferred blendshape (it made things useless), and I don't know
why...

case 2 seems to work now, not sure what went wrong at first, but I'll
leave it here

case 2 : sculpting blendshapes often yields unwanted noise on parts of
the mesh, where you didn't even touch the model during sculpting. in
case you are new to this phenomenon it's usually invisible, but comes
from a variety of packages, you have to amplify it to see it, but it's
often there.
to filter it out, I've used 'greater than' and 'filter' on the
blendshapes point position, it works, when you plug it back with set
point pos., but not with set data-> new blendshapes point pos. As I
mentioned, this looks fine now, but case 1 is still a mistery..

Cheers, and have a great day everyone!
