Hi!
They can be made visible with the other face deformers.

Kind of a stupid question - is there an easy way to fix the Rz in the head with the previous version of rig by using a script/doing a certain set of actions in the outliner/attribute editor/channel box?  I sorta modded 11 pretty heavily.

Just checked out the new 11.
Sadly I can't open it on my copy of maya. I run 2009, and it won't do it.

Hi Matt!
As I said, these new mouth corner editing controllers require Maya 2011 or above, because of a constraint type I used for the control objects. Still working around that.
You can still have a look at it though, if you open the file in your Maya with the 'ignore version' tickbox ticked in the open file options you'll find those control object (still working fine) on default 0-0-0.

Is there a way of selecting all keyable controls?

I like to begin animation with setting a series of key poses, then key all the controls, and then time the poses out, and do overlaps, etc.

So far I'm turning off visibility of everything except NURBS Curves, drag selecting everything, and creating a selection set.  But this probably doesn't get whatever might not be set visible by default, as well as anything else I don't know to look for or might accidentally miss in my initial selection.

So, can you include a few selection sets onto the rig?

Also, can you allow various portions of the geo to be visibility toggle-able as well?  Being able to turn off arms, legs, head, etc. can really help simplify various stages of animation.

Thanks!

EDIT:  Apologies if this has been addressed previously, or in the GUI.  Never liked GUIs, and can't figure out how to make the forum search feature do just this thread.

baglunch, if you don't mind me asking, what is it you don't like about GUI's?

Ya I tried that wolf, still couldnt get it open. It was a week or so ago though, perhaps i'll give it another go. It's a little late for the project i'm working on with it But I managed to work around it and get some nice looks for it

The edit pack contains the actual blendshapes if someone wants to edit them. The normal version doesn't. That's all, actually.

I'm having a weird thing happen with 11.   I am trying to select both IK arms and the main body mover, then translate everything forward.   I really prefer selecting those 3 controllers, then middle clicking in the Channel Box on Tz to make a precise move.     However, if I do that, one of the controllers (usually one arm - not both) goes in the opposite direction of the other 2 controllers selected.   If I click on the arrow in 3D space and move them, the controllers will move forward like normal.   However, that usually starts Translating in X also, instead of just Z.   Is there anything I am missing?   Stewie and Bishop don't work this way, so I am a bit puzzled.

Well it seems to work completely if you select the controller independently (and drag/middle mouse click in the same direction in the same axis).   It only acts weird if you have more that one controller selected, then middle mouse click.  Then it becomes wonky.

Yea...lol.

no. Rig works fine. I have triple checked the file locations and completely deleted/re-installed the rig.

I was just looking at it again, it may be because I have multiple versions on this system. (Maya  2011)

I'll delete all of them and just put one in.

One thing that might be a good add on is a text doc to tell the initiate where to put the files. Most of us probably know, but there may be a few out there that could use it.

Ok started fresh. The rig was not at 0,0,0 that was fixed. The warnings for the most part went away, but there were still some, including something that looked like it was searching for a Maya 2012 location. I set the paths for the textures, saved everything again as the master scene.

It loaded again clean.Started new scene.

I then did a reference, no problem. Everything is good now.

Conclusion : Multiple versions = Bad.

Thanks.
