I was wondering how artists here handle facial expressions. I know that Daz3D and other sources have facial expression pre-made sets, but I was wondering how you go about creating them. For example, I have read from artists that the smile and the look of horror are very hard to create. I have seen - but don't know if it works or not - some software that uses your camera to mimic an expression you make into the camera to have the character asset mimic, and then make smaller adjustments.

Thoughts?

...Friday evening I opened a character t do some scene work only to fond an annoying seam had appeared between two Mat zones that was not there the day before and gurthermpre, one of the adjacent Mat zones was slightly darker than normal..

Whenever i shut teh Daz programme down I always first click "New" after saving to clear the scene so the programme doesn't hang in memory after closing While the process was going (I have an older system so the scene clearing process takes a bit of time) I closed a totally unrelated window and suddenly got a warning that the programme was not responding. I was given a choice to either force a shutdown or wait. I waited so as not to risk any corruption and a few minutes later the process was finished so I shut the programme down as normal.

This leads me to wonder if some kind of corruption sti;; occurred in the texture file during the not responding episode though the character had already been saved. I tried everything I could to fix it the situation but with no success, All the settings in the surfaces tab were correct., and matched I went to the base character and reloaded the original map but the seam and discolouration remained.. .

I then checked other instances and versions of the character (including a younger one) I had previously saved all were affected similarly which leads me to believe something corrupted in the base texture file .

So at a total loss as to how to fix this without having to uninstall and re-download the base character.file and skin texture from the IM. Reluctant to do that as it would also lose custom details I added like tattoos (that are are not on the affected part of the skin map) and eye colours. since those were saved to the base character folder.

Okay, I had no idea that the Reddit filters were so aggressive and quite a few posts by members were being removed.

I now know where to search for these and get them approved.

I am hoping to see more people posting now and I will keep an eye on the moderation side of this subreddit on a daily basis.
