Lines on my face! // Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by W!ZARD // Jul 26, 2008, 2:30am W!ZARD Total Posts: 2603 Hello all the happy tSers out there I hope you're having as much fun as I am - have you tried the new morph tools? IMO they are utterly brilliant! (Along with all the other cool bits!). One technical issue I've not been able to resolve - after attaching my Wizards eyes, specs, hat and head meshes to the head bone I have been unable to get rid of the edge lines. When attaching an object to a bone these lines show up so you can see that you are selecting the right mesh - they turn green when you click on them and should disappear when you exit that tool - the hat and the glasses have worked as expected but the eyes (one object) and the head haven't as can be seen in this screengrab. Any suggestions appreciated!

(Completely different hardware between work & home.) What I did notice as a work-around is that after making the attachments, if I saved the scene then either reloaded it or restarted tS completely and reloaded it -- I forget which I had to do -- it came back okay (that is, without all those lines visible). I don't quite remember whether that "always" worked or only "sometimes" worked, though. Anyway, I hope it works for you. :) Post by W!ZARD // Jul 26, 2008, 4:50am W!ZARD Total Posts: 2603 Thanks Bob - I tried there I think.... confused now! Thanks Jim - that's something I hadn't tried - I remember having a similar issue with tS 7.5 but I found an easy method to fix it - which of course completely escapes me now!!:D Anyway, the simple solution was to attache the head mesh using "Attach Skin To Skeleton" which, as you can see from the picture has worked fine - I probably should have done it that way from the start. Anyway the not so happy Wizard is happy again - did I mention these morph tools are great fun? The only drawback I've discovered with them is that I keep finding I'm pulling faces at my monitor as I adjust the morph sliders!!!!

Post by W!ZARD // Jul 26, 2008, 5:52am W!ZARD Total Posts: 2603 Thanks Jack - that's actually one of the first places I looked. No problem when I added it using the Attach Skin tools - either way I'm happy.
