Creating Morphing Slider for External Characters (New for v1.4)

In this section, you can create a slider without even opening the source or target morphs. They are both external files.

  1. Prepare a source character file iAvatar format.
  2. Prepare a target character file in OBJ or iAvatar format.

    Note:

    For the DRM protection mechanism, the OBJ file for target must be prepared with its corresponding checksum data file.

  3. Launch iClone Character Creator. A female character is loaded by default.
  4. Go to Create menu >> Morph Slider item to open the Morph Slider Editor.
  5. Set the path and a name for the slider.

    In this case, Body >> Custom_Body_Style >> Savage.

    Note:

    Please refer to the point 1 in the User Interface Introduction for Morph Slider Editor section for more information.

  6. Set the Min. Morph Value to 0 and the Max. Morph Value to 100 so that when the custom slider is set to maximum, the character retains its original look.
  7. Optionally load an image for the slider if you want it to have a thumbnail by clicking the button and load the prepared image.
  8. In the Source Morph radio button group, choose the File radio button to load the source character prepared in step 1 by clicking the button.
  9. In the Target Morph radio button group, choose the File radio button and load the character prepared in step 2 by clicking the button.
  10. Click the OK button and you can see your custom morphing slider is now added into designated node and path.

    Note:

    If you drag the slider now, you will see the female character is gradually deformed because the source character is not loaded.

    Value = 50

    Value = 100

  11. In order to view the correct result, you need to first load the source character into iClone Character Creator.
  12. Drag the newly created slider to view the morphing result.

    Value = 50

    Value = 100
