I am trying to learn to work with magnets. Now I did this image, and I thought everything was lined up the same, so why are the ears slightly different? I am trying to do a nose, but geesh if it was any higher she'd drown in the rain!

Well whatever you might think its a hell of a lot better than I can ever manage. Well done.

Magnets are fun... I'm not sure why the ears are different, but quick questions/suggestions for ya... Did you spawn one ear as a morph target, then move the magnet to the opposite side to get the other ear? If you're using two different magnets you may need to go in and set the settings for both manually instead of using the dials... the dials will set things to a certain number of decimal points (I don't know how many exactly) but the display rounds the number off... ie if you're setting is 1.5559, the display will only show 1.556, which can make a difference if you've got more than one setting off by just a little bit, that could be why the two ears don't match... you can also just do one side of the head, then get morph mirror and make the other side with that... http://www.eurus.dti.ne.jp/%7Emasasi/ You can download it there. Hope that helps. :)

ah, morph mirror..... I will get that, it will definitely make it easier! I used two magnets, and I set the numbers manually.... I hate the dials, rarely use them, I prefer to click and type :~)

Hmm... I don't know why they'd be different then, unless it's just the camera angle or something like that making it look different... y'never know

A little tip. Set up the magnets on one side the way that you want. Create the same number of magnets on the other side. Now in windows, use the ctrl-c and ctrl-v to copy each setting for each piece from one side to the other. So on the side that is set do a ctrl-c on the first magnet zone. Select the corresponding zone on the other side and do ctrl-v. This will copy all the paramters. You will have to go to the trans x paramter and change the sign. If it is plus make it minus and visa verse. If you use rotations you may have to do the same thing. Do this for each magnet and zone. If you used the scale dials on the magnet then you will need to copy the magnet base parameters also.

heyas; yep, copy and paste those suckers. and you change the "polarity" of the xtrans and the y and z rots. :)
