I'm still struggling with the ERC/JCM for the conforming clothing I tried to make for Antonia. Below list my process.
Making JCM
- Pose the figure with conforming clothing at a pose, for example, Left Thigh Kick at 30.
- Export the part(s) of figure that may be covered by the part of the conforming clothing as OBJ. It will be used as a reference.
- Export the part corresponding to the bone of the conforming clothing to be morphed, for example, hip2, as OBJ.
- Import the OBJs into a 3D modeling software, in my case, it is Blender.
- Modify the part of the conforming clothing to be morphed.
- Export the modified part as OBJ.
- Extract the "v" lines from the original OBJ and the modified OBJ of the part morphed. Convert it to CSV file.
- Import the CSV to spreadsheet. So that sheet1 contains the original values, sheet2 contains the corresponding modified values.
- Setup sheet3 to contains the deltas.
Example:
d 0 =Morph.A1-Base.A1 =Morph.B1-Base.B1 =Morph.C1-Base.C1
d =b1+1 =Morph.A2-Base.A2 =Morph.B2-Base.B2 =Morph.C2-Base.C2
- Export the sheet that contains the deltas to CSV.
- Use the information Cage provided in Antonia-121_thighERC.txt to create the morph channel.
- Edit the deltas CSV to make it into the deltas section.
I wonder if I'm doing the right thing. Any suggestion?
odf, I wonder if which angle I should pick for the pose in my step 1 will provide the best result. Should I pick Left Thigh Kick at -60?
