Absolutely! It can totally be used with image planes as texture cards

Sure! I still have a discount code going on for 50% off here if you use code: BORGS50

@@FruitZeus thank you so much :)

You have a few options! Once the model is complete, you can apply the subdiv to make it all real geometry. From there you can retopologize. Or you can just model Lowly from the start. Often times a sword or model especially if it’s not animated as a skeletal mesh, shouldn’t be as specific on topology.

I apologize for the confusion! I actually was thinking of recreating this tutorial for new versions of blender. But the truth is, the file does ship with my mouth by example, but you can easily change them out for your own mouth shapes. They’re just a placeholder so you can see how it works.

What version of blender are you using?

This is optimized for blender 4.1 and onward

Hi! It's still listed as just FZSwapper. Here's the official link: fruitzeus.gumroad.com/l/swapper You'll see that FZSwapper 2.0 is in the downloads of the digital download :)

@@FruitZeus Got it! Thanks 😊

Thank you!! Hope you enjoy!

Yes, correct! It’s per object. So if you want mouth and eyes, you’ll have to make a second object that has those swap shapes. You can have as many swapper objects in a scene as you want, but you can only have one swapper per object. So a character can have multiple objects “eyes”, “mouth”, “hand positions” etc

@@FruitZeus Struggling to add more than one controller to anything it only creates one I will have another look in the morning I think a fresh pair of eyes may be better. I am loving it and some of the other tuts too

@@FruitZeus It was late I had been working on it all evening I think I just wasnt looking at it straight. Done it today nice and easy great work. Did your tutorial on making these in nodes it was great so I fully understand how it works in the nodes. THis add-on just makes it all a lot easier.

I’m so glad it works for you now!

I actually disagree. I know this isn’t standard when it comes to retopology. That’s for sure. But this isn’t a Pixar rig meant to be be stretched like crazy. For the art style I do, I’ve never once had a problem with Quad Remesher. And when something does need tweaked like eye rings or mouth rings, I’ll be sure to fix those specifically important regions manually.

@@FruitZeus is Quad Remesher a built-in function or a plug-in?

@@velcron0 It's a paid 3rd party addon. About $130 one time payment.

Sure! It helps you get the original shape. From there you can puff it out with either the grab or inflate brush as needed

@@FruitZeus thanks

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your words! If this interests you, I also made a more involved addon for this style of stop motion swapping! It might interest you to check out my video on FZSwapper which is a full Addon I made for easily animating and creating these controls. :) Thanks for your support!!

I’ll look into it!

@@FruitZeus Hey there, thanks for the great addon. Any update or fix on that ? I have the same issue.

Nice point. In this state, it’s not. But it can always be baked down to texture maps if necessary for a game engine export!

It’s generally the exact same as the previous versions except for the addition of the generate from csv and performance boosts! I can make a new video though if people would like that!

@@FruitZeus I would personally love to see how the generate from csv works.

@@FruitZeus I either found a potential bug or I’m doing something wrong. Is there a good place I can report it to you?

Hi, I'm really thankful for this tool, it will make it possible for me to gather the funds I need for surgery so I wanted to personally thank you :) Also, I think I'm doing something wrong cause it renders every single trait all together in each variant, I imagine it has to do with enabled and disabled collections/objects but can't pinpoint what cause if I do that it comes out all black... should everything be disabled except for the proxy or maybe I'm placing the light sources in the wrong place? thanks a bunch!

@@cintiastrange3809 Hi! I have the same problem, did yu fix it? :(

@@cless15 Yes I fixed it, I realized I was using Blender 4.0 instead of 4.1 LOL

Most of the time I will just use it right out of the gate. But there’s times where I try a few times / do some adjustments to get the topology as best as it can be.

@@FruitZeus ahhhh alrightt, thank you very much sir!
