Blendshape

[MENOZ]

hello! how can i do to mirror a "pose" to use in a blendshapes sop?

if i use the transform sop or mirror sop my blendshape flips.

thanks!

my stupid work browser wont let me upload files...

but here is the way to do it...

name your mesh ORIGINAL_MESH

mirror you original mesh

mirror your blendshape

use a lattice SOP with:

ORIGINAL_MESH as input #1

the mirror of ORIGINAL_MESH as input #2

the mirror of your blenshape as input #3

turn on the "points" option on the lattice

use the Radius parameter to refine the lattice (start with something like 0.01)

append a null to the lattice - call it OUT

now in the textport cd into you geometry node

/obj/myObject ->

now use sopcreateedit to create an edit node the will be your other blendshape (see help sopcreateedit for details)

/obj/myObject -> sopcreateedit otherSide ORIGINAL_MESH OUT

this will create an edit node called "otherSide"

hope that helps

it works!!

buti don't understand why i need to create an editSop at the end. When i have the "OUT" null my geometry is ok., i can use this as my other blend shape. no? what else the edit sop does?

thanks a lot!!

the edit is so you can have a single node that represents the shape - instead of a network of nodes...

plus what if you had 50 different shapes?

[MENOZ]

you mean 50 different shapes, and every shape has a network of nodes?

The goal of sopcreateedit is just to avoid a network of nodes right?

I don't knew this command! is very powerful!

thanks again
