[icy stream]

dude

fuck you

uuughhhh

i typed like three paragraphs out and the bot deleted it all

i need to know how to rig the face of a model with a 2d face

so it blinks at random and the mouth changes when the player talks

is this bodygroups? texturegroups? i dont know

[sly stag]

For blinking : You will need an eye blink shape key named “Blink”.

For mouth animation : You will need a mouth shape key named “jaw_drop”.

But for 2D. I’m not sure how you’re going to deal with but there are ways to do so.

I decompiled a bunch of models that do the same general thing and i'm pretty sure they don't use shapekeys

[sly stag]

I’m telling the default way. You can do your own hacky ways if you can.

oh yeah since you have experience could i ask you another question

what is it indicative of when a texture is completely black in studiomdl

there are three materials here - an "eyes", "nose" and "mouth" texture. i exported all of them identically but only the mouth texture works

the nose texture isn't assigned to a bodygroup so it's got nothing to do with that

i think i've got a clue

i don't think i can overextend the UVs at all

that's what's fucking it up i hope

[icy stream]

nope

gods sake WHY

[icy stream]

fuck me dude i've been looking for ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO TEXTURE FILES

AND THERE ARE NONE

[icy stream]

It's not just in studiomdl, it's also in the game

damn did the guy go to sleep right after answering this
