Face Mocap Import needs updating for Genesis 9

[John Blobago]

Daz has combined several FACS morphs into single sliders for G9, so importing via Unreal Live Link Face/FaceCap is no longer working correctly. Jaw Forward-Recess, Jaw Left-Right, and Mouth Left-Right have replaced their respective separate morphs.

Thanks for such a great add-on!

The live link importer is for G8 not designed for G9 so this is not a bug. Marked as feature request.

Are you sure it doesn’t work? The plugin has a table that translates G9 facs into G8 facs names. I tested to import both facecap and livelink files to a G9 character, and it seems to work here.

No, not working, I'm afraid. I did a clean install of the latest version this morning to double check. As you can see in the screenshot, "Jaw Open" and "Mouth Close" have keys as expected, but "Jaw Forward-Recess" and "Jaw Left-Right" don't.

If I slide "Jaw Forward-Recess,""Jaw Left-Right," and "Mouth Left-Right" manually they work as expected and I can see the respective driven "facs_bs_XX" value change in Blender's Shape Key panel, but they don't have any animation key data either.

Fixed in last commit. I had implemented a translation table between G8 and G9 facs names, but it was only used for loading expressions, not for facecap and livelink.

Still has issues, I'm afraid.

"Jaw Forward-Recess" seems to be working correctly. (For some reason there is no "facs_bs_JawForward" despite checking it when importing FACS during the initial morph import step, but I can see it moving visually so I assume that's just me not understanding the set-up).

"Mouth Left-Right," is still not getting keyed at all (maybe it just got overlooked when you updated the other two?).

"Jaw Left-Right" is now getting keys, but for some reason only "facs_bs_JawLeft" is being triggered- "facs_bs_JawRight" is not moving at all. I'm already out of my depth, but maybe it has to do with it being driven by the 0 to -1 values instead of the positive values of most of the other morphs?

[Thomas Larsson]

Should work now. Since there are separate left and right keys in the facecap file, the left key was overwritten, even if the right key was zero. Now the jaw-left-right key is set to the sum of the left and right keys instead (one of them should always be zero).
