notes
~attribute change donnot refresh unless plugin parameter is changed
~you cannot undo attributes
~even if you delete the f8ce model saving file the attributes will be stored  :D

I feel the f8ce is practically complete so now i will allow rest of anim8ors who are maybe interested in getting involved with this plugin to improve on it

F8ce_dev.zip (this dl is for ASL users log in to get the plugin on its own)
file contains
f8cedata.an8 <-- attribute editing done through this
export_f8ce.a8s <-- converts the facedata.an8 into the f8ce plugin (copypaste.txt required)
copypaste.txt  <-- convert floats to attribute i was bit lazy and left this small chunk out of the exporter but im sure much more experience als master could improve the exporter to scan per meshkind instead of named strings

That's correct. You do rock, Bob. 8)

Now that I have a new computer I'll play around a bit more with it. :)
Good luck!

P.S. I would really like to know what type of modeling you did to make the models.. They're perfectly smooth, and I model my people body part by body part. And they look rigid around where the hands meet the arms, arms meet the Torso, etc. I was just wondering how you did this. Have you kept some sort of log or something I could see? I know most "professionals" model people completely in one mesh, so I was just wondering if you did it this way, and if so, maybe you could give me a few pointers? :P

3Dgeek11:
I used your development files and got this after ~15 minutes. An awesome thing you're doing. :D

Btw, I can't get the actual script to load in Anim8or. I have it in my plugins folder, and everything else loads, but it's left behind... ???

Keep up the good work, Bob! :D

EDIT: In fact, I like the way this came out so much that I might use it in an upcoming game. :)
