transfers animation from an fbx facial mocap produced by faceCap or by faceShift's FBX Files that were rebuilt by C4D to morphs and channels of daz figures ________________________________________________________________________ Installation

Quick instructions
import or drag n drop the FaceCap FBX
this will create a groupnode named grp_scale
there must be only one 'grp_scale' node in the scene
select the target figure head
start the script
select the node(s) you want as the source animation for the server ,
usually 'head'
select the node(s) you want as the target animation for the client ,
usually 'head'
create links:
select a source channel, ex: 'head__jawOpen'
select a destination channel, ex: 'eCTRLMouthOpen'
specify a multiplication factor and an offset, ex: 1, 0
click the addLink Button
if you want to modify a link, first select it in the links ListView
you can then change the source, destination, multiplier and offset
then click the modify link button
there's a button to save all your links to disk and retrieve them
When it's ready, select a timeline range, ex: all the playrange
press the transfer button
________________________________________________________________________ March 27th 2017's improvements ________________________________________________________________________ I've been told that the FBX's straight from faceShift crash DazStudio, but exporting them from C4D produce FBX that DazStudio accepts begrudgingly. so i added the detection of the node that (invisibly) appears in the daz scene after you import that C4D FBX. for this to work, after you import your fbx file, it must
appear in the scene ( well it’s invisible but in the scene tab you see it )
under the name “Genesis8Male”
the script could be modified by hand at line 8 to
accommodate other names, but your Ani-C4D.fbx file used that name
so.
line 8 of the script:
var node =
Scene.findNodeByLabel( "Genesis8Male" )
note: since the fbx file has problems in it, the
Genesis8Male node is a bone, not a skeleton
this may be the reason why DazStudio refuses to change
that node’s name or label, and the reason why it refuses to delete that node
from the scene
so, when you start/run the script, the first thing the
script does is look for a bone named "Genesis8Male" in the
scene
if that found, the script re-names and re-labels it as
“C4DMan”
then the script looks for a node named
grp_transform ( for faceCap fbx’s ) if found, the script uses that
node as the “server” node
if the faceCap man is not found, the script looks for a
“C4DMan” node, if found, the script uses it as the “server” node
Then must link C4DMan’s apparently custom morphs to a real
figure in the scene, also link the eyeball rotations,
and transfer the animation
When you’re done transfering the C4DMan’s animation to the
real figure, you can use the 1-foot-wide button labeled “Delete
C4DMan” to, well, delete the C4DMan
I attach this version to this email
GoodDay ! hope you get your animation today! ________________________________________________________________________
