<p style="font-family: Arial;" class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><o:p></o:p></b>To save time you should mirror your morphs. But this is not
|
|
that easy like it sounds, because you are not able to use the tools which 3D
|
|
Studio Max provides. The problem of the 3Ds Max tools, like the Symmetry
|
|
modifier is that they don’t keep your vertex index, which is necessary for
|
|
morphtargets. Here is an example:</p>
|
|
<p style="font-family: Arial;" class="MsoNormal">I selected a vertex which has the vertex ID 442</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="font-family: Arial;" class="MsoNormal">Now I add a symmetry modifier to mirror my model and an
|
|
editable poly modifier to select the vertex again.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="font-family: Arial;" class="MsoNormal">As you can see, the vertex ID changed to 1432.</p>
