Hi guys, I have a rookie question. How do I instantiate Character face with python? It is easy assigning character to variable via:

myChar = FBApplication().CurrentCharacter

but characterFace isn’t supported in FBApplication class, I guess there is other approach
Thanks in advance

Hey man..
Yeah its the same thing as anything else ... you just need to create an instance of the char face.
make it active ,,,if need to ..and so on..

So… example…

from pyfbsdk import *

# create a face
lFace = FBCharacterFace(’Myface’)
lFace.ActiveInput = True

# to delete the face
lFace.FBDelete()

That should get you get going with the creation of the face .. hooking stuff up into it is another story .. :) ..
Good luck.

Hey,
i understand what you’re saying ..but that’s where the basic programming kicks in.
In order to run the same code on a scene after you close Mobu, you have to do few steps that “checks” the existence of your character face in the scene..
So the pseudo would be :
assuming you just opened your old scene or scene from last night.

1: Check my scene if there are any character faces in the scene
2: If so , get the names
3: If any of the character faces matches my face.Name, then do something to it

So knowing that you should be able to get your face every time you open your scene.
New or old , its all based on searching your scene and finding the correct model.
Simple function example.

I hope that helps…
Good luck.
