Description

This class is mainly used to set up the character's facial and head controls. RIFaceComponent data include 12 facial bones, 60 facial morphs and 24 custom morphs. You can open the details panel in the Face Puppet interface and press Ctrl+F2 to display more detailed data. The numbered data in the front are the 60 morphs data, the next are 12 facial bones data, while the rest belong to the custom set. A few of the bones within the 12 facial bones have no effect. You can tell if it has no effect, therefore invalid, if the data name is marked "N/A". In addition, an expression clip needs to be set up in order to create expression keys.

Class Methods

RLPy.RIFaceComponent.AddClip(self, kTime, strName, kLength)

Add facial clip.

Experimental API

Parameters

kTime[IN] The time at which to add the clip - RLPy.RLTime
strName[IN] Clip name - string
kLength[IN] Clip length - RLPy.RLTime

Returns

RLPy.RStatus.Success - Success
RLPy.RStatus.Failure - Fail
1 avatar_list = RLPy.RScene.GetAvatars()
2 avatar = avatar_list[0]
3 face_component = avatar.GetFaceComponent()
4 
5 result = face_component.AddClip(RLPy.RTime(0), "Clip", RLPy.RTime(10))
6 print(result)

RLPy.RIFaceComponent.AddExpressionKeys(self, kTime, kExpressions, kStrengths, kInterval)

Add an expression key.

Experimental API

Parameters

kTime[IN] The time at which to add the key - RLPy.RLTime
kExpressions[IN] Name of the expressions - string
kStrengths[IN] The strength of expressions. The size of the kStrengths must be a multiple of kExpressions - float
kInterval[IN] Time interval. When kStrengths is greater than kExpressions, the key will be downloaded at this interval. ex. len( kExp)== 10, len( kStrengths)= 30, kTime = 1000, kInterval = 2000, the result will be: Add keys at the time = 1000, values are kStrengths[0~9], Add keys at the time = 1000 + 2000, values are kStrengths[10~19], Add keys at the time = 1000 + 2000 + 2000, values are kStrengths[20~29], - RLPy.RLTime

Returns

RLPy.RStatus.Success - Success
RLPy.RStatus.Failure - Fail
