Thank you so much for this steps. I've just started with DNA calibration. I fixed the script for for Maya 2023 and DNA Calibration 1.2.0: """ This example demonstrates Maya UI Window for simple and non-programmatic creation the scene with the creating functional rig. - usage in command line: - call without arguments: - will not start with error message: "DNAViewer needs to be run with Maya2022" NOTE: Script cannot be called with Python or mayapy, it' must be called in Maya Script Editor. - usage in Maya: 1. copy whole content of this file to Maya Script Editor 2. change value of ROOT_DIR to absolute path of dna_calibration, e.g. `c:/dna_calibration` in Windows or `/home/user/dna_calibration`. Important: Use `/` (forward slash), because Maya uses forward slashes in path. Expected: Maya will show UI. NOTE: If running on Linux, please make sure to append the LD_LIBRARY_PATH with absolute path to the lib/linux directory before running the example: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH: """ from os import environ from os import path as ospath from sys import path as syspath from sys import platform # if you use Maya, use absolute path ROOT_DIR = "c:/dna_calibration" ROOT_LIB_DIR = f"{ROOT_DIR}/lib" if platform == "win32": LIB_DIR = f"{ROOT_LIB_DIR}/windows" elif platform == "linux": LIB_DIR = f"{ROOT_LIB_DIR}/linux" else: raise OSError( "OS not supported, please compile dependencies and add value to LIB_DIR" ) # Add bin directory to maya plugin path if "MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH" in environ: separator = ":" if platform == "linux" else ";" environ["MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH"] = separator.join([environ["MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH"], LIB_DIR]) else: environ["MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH"] = LIB_DIR # Adds directories to path syspath.insert(0, ROOT_DIR) syspath.insert(0, LIB_DIR) # This example is intended to be used in Maya from dna_viewer import show show()

[@wuboliang6565]

thanks for your help!!

[@luisquesadamarcos]

Great!!!!

[@yongz28]

Thank you for your detailed tutorial, may I ask if this can only adjust the head? Can the body adjust? thanks

[@noahstudio3717]

I am working on testing all scripts . I have tested only three of them, am still learing the proper use of this script.

[@keima4619]

Great Work!

I don't understand... Can I change a face geometry using sculp and after that all joints replace their position in new place? Now i only see that face can change by moving joints. In this way impossible to make face form that needed.

[@noahstudio3717]

Currently I am working on runing the script in maya once I coplite all scripts I will start looking in to the proper use of those scripts. I understan the scripts are very impotant for modifing the MH.

[@mimiqiao556]

amazing thanks！

[@AmrAli-gy2xs]

Hey, amazing tutorial mate! How did you attach/view the texture in the end at 11:42 ?

[@noahstudio3717]

Project the scan texture to MH using wrap3d(since i used wrap to constract the head mash)

[@mimihello7279]

Hey Noah great tutorial can we swap head mesh with custom one, could you please help a bit?

[@noahstudio3717]

You can creat new Blendshep for the custom head

[@Maxparata]

I downloaded the latest version on git, and the file "dna_viewer_run_in_maya.py" is not the same file anymore. There are only a few command lines in it: "import dna_viewer dna_viewer.show()" There is no Root dir, or anything, so it's not possible to follow this tutorial anymore :/

[@noahstudio3717]

It has been log time....., I may need to have another tutorial.

[@Maxparata]

@@noahstudio3717 That would be nice, because I think a lot of things have changed since then.

[@hanson251985]

Hi can you edit body rig and mesh with dna calibration? Scale of body rig. Cheers

[@poochyboi]

Do you know how to attach a metahuman head to a different body?

[@Instant_Nerf]

Possible in 3DS max?

[@noahstudio3717]

There is no MH plugin for 3DS max.
