Hi guys, this might be a simple question to most of you but is there a way of changing the "xyz SCALE" dial to individual "x" , "y" and "z" scales?

Also, whilst on the subject, would you guys recommend using V3 or V4? I ugess what I am gettign at is everything being equal (body morphs and textures to be more specific) which model uses more memory?

as always... thank you for your help and insight.... :c)

Cheers

Try this pose file. It should unhide the scale dials for the currently selected actor. After applying the pose you will probably need to select something else then reselect the actor in order to refresh the parameters pallet.

{
//ShowScaleCURRENT.pz2
version
        {
        number 5
        }

actor $CURRENT
        {
        channels
                {
                propagatingScale scale
                        {
                        hidden 0
                        }
                propagatingScaleX xScale
                        {
                        hidden 0
                        }
                propagatingScaleY yScale
                        {
                        hidden 0
                        }
                propagatingScaleZ zScale
                        {
                        hidden 0
                        }
                scale Scale
                        {
                        hidden 0
                        }
                scaleX xScale
                        {
                        hidden 0
                        }
                scaleY yScale
                        {
                        hidden 0
                        }
                scaleZ zScale
                        {
                        hidden 0
                        }
                }
        }
}

P.S. A few weeks ago I had a pose file to unhide all the scale dials in V4, but a HDD crash wiped it out, and I haven't had time to remake it :(

Hi guys,

**A while back, lesbentley developed this cool pose file that would unhide scale dials for V4.... Would you happen to know if there is a simialr code that would unhide "Trans x, Trans y and Trans z" dials?  when I select the V4 Eyes (e.g. reye)... I don't see the Trans. dials...

Thanks for your help...

Cheers

Open the CR2 with WordPad and work your way to the eye actors, then change hidden to 0.

It looks like editing the cr2 file does the trick..... Unfortunately, it seems to be character specific... Would you (or perhpas one of the forrum members) happen to have such a pz2 file that unhides trans dials...?

Thanks for your help...

Cheers

never mind, just edited the original PZ2 file and seems to work!! For those of you who might be interested, here is the file...THe original credit goes to lesbentley of course for being such a wizard.... :c)

{
//ShowScaleCURRENT.pz2
version
 {
 number 5
 }

actor $CURRENT
 {
 channels
  {
  
  translate Tran
   {
   hidden 0
   }
  translateX xTran
   {
   hidden 0
   }
  translateY ytran
   {
   hidden 0
   }
  translateZ ztran
   {
   hidden 0
   }
  }
 }
}

 

Shhhhh!
Don't say that about Mr. Bentley, the demons of Mordor will find him!

I now have a freebie at sharecg.com that reveals the translate dials in V4's eyes, in the eyeBrow actor, and reveals all the scale dials.

Show Scale Dials V4 (ScaleShowAllV4.pz2)

Thanks for the heads up THE "lesbentley"!!! :c) .... just downloaded the file.... :c)

you are truly a wizard.... and can't thank enough for your pz2 file..... it has opened up endless opportunities for me to test out.... :c)
