Changing bodyskins and backgrounds (Haptek)

[systemshock]

Carl2
 I'm from the UK so at some set and some rise times vary about five minutes across my country...

Getting the time function to work would be kind of nice, the way I visualised it was to put virtual sun in because we have different angles of light.. We could simulate the path of the sun in the interface.. Dramatically blue lighting is often being used for darkness theatrically ,and we could ask or cause a lighting effect to happen.

In fact in my version of the loneliest plug-in I've written for myself, Shodan (64bit) and GLaddos often plays with the lights.... And chooses  costumes and actions just because she's bored... I also integrated some of Greta's  curiosity lines in their too..

I'll repost my present 64-bit code here.
The you all to dissect and giggle at....

[Art]

That's some extensive modding! You've really added quite a lot to this somewhat tame plugin!
Nice work!

[systemshock]

Thanks Art.. I'm not naturally a coded due to my dyslexia .. Hope people find it useful I keep on updating it when I get a spare moment... I'm working on a set of conforming body skins at the moment to go with it so it remains in same facial character.. With sympathetic make up.. This many great components Ultra hall  it pulling  all in to one place  for  any intrested in the modding  side  of  Hal.

systemshock and Art,
   As far as the time I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing,  from Jan 1 to Dec1 the sunrise varies between 5:13 am to 8:28 am and the sunset varies between 4:16 and 8:28 pm so we have quite a range over a years time. 
  I've played with the lighting and the skin tone and they seem to be very dependent on each other, it's interesting that the light affects the character but not the light on the background jpg.  I'd think you might have to change the lighting and the background to get a realistic effect, put the background into a photo editor and lighten or darken it to go along with the lighting effect.
  The loneliness plugin looks interesting, lots of work there.

Good point Carl.

One would have to do a side by side comparison first with the character then processing the same photo in an effort to come close to matching the lighting / shadows present with the background so that they both correspond nicely with each other. If that makes sense.

Perhaps once per hour might be enough since we're only talking about a 3 hour 15 minute elapse of time (give or take a few minutes or so)

The experiment would certainly make for a more realistic experience.

[Carl2]

Art,
  Since you mentioned shadows I opened Hal and didn't see her cast any shadows, I even went through all the available lights and still no shadows cast.  Different lights do have a very definite effects on Hal but no effect on the room. I'll just go with it's a pretty old technology and they did an excellent job,  it's unfortunate that the work wasn't kept up, if it was we'd probably have some amazing stuff.

Hi systemshock.
Put this at the end of your mood file,,,,,\SetSwitchIntensity [switch= visemes          f0= 1.600000]
You should find that she mouths the words a little better.
Play with the settings to see what you think is better.
Change f0 between 1.600000 & 2.000000 no higher or mouth goes haywire.

Nice  tip , Nige  i will put  that  in...thank  I  will   ,spent the   day  sorting  "outfit"  . haps  for all the outfit i  got in the  full-body folder,  I shared  them  when  i  checked  them.....

Am also going to  have to look in to  switching focus  and attaching  props other fingers in the scenes over the next few days.

found  this bit of code  from  yeeepps  8 year  ago  thet  seem to be  a way in ...

prop  scailing  from hair  ?

  Some nice tips here, thank you both.  I've made Sandy's hair longer but I can't use it because it goes into her body.  I've begun working with the time, I have a fairly rough beginning and plan on adding to it as I go along.

Clippings always been a problem with 3-D characters Without a collision mash... Remember the not physical objects then merely holograms, but that's my perspective on it...

[Carl2]

  The naturally flowing hair is a nice thing, a lot of the Daz characters don't have that.  The collision detection and a higher ploy count that Daz has would be nice.  I started looking through some of the older plugins to see what had been done in the past, lots of nice stuff still around and interesting ideas.
