Notes: There are various options available now for OBJ export functionality, allowing users to weld exported mesh based on the given parameters or group additional meshes into separate Objects.
These enhancements aim to ease up and simplify workflows.

Mesh Morpher 2.1.2 is Live! (08/11/2022)

  • [MM-238] Fixed a bug in Baking where only the last selected Morph Target would be baked.
  • [MM-239] Camera Location, Rotation, Speed, Speed Scalar and FOV are now saved when users close Mesh Morpher window. This allows to preserve viewport camera settings.
  • [MM-240] Changing Pose asset or frame now automatically saves and close current selected Morph Target. The process is heavy and reopening the Morph Target everytime the pose frame is changed will halt Mesh Morpher for a long time.

Mesh Morpher 2.1.3 is Live! (08/16/2022)
This long overdue update is about improving performance and stability in Mesh Morpher core functionality.
I improved Scene Proxy performance and stability, allowing Mesh Morpher to send to the GPU only changes that were made instead of the whole mesh/selection data.
I also Improved Mesh Morpher’s Mesh Component stability and performance by taking advantage of all CPU power/threads whenever possible.
Mesh Operations are now more performant due to better distribution across all available threads.

A lot of core functionalities were re-written to achieve this performance/stability improvement.
If you find a bug, don’t hesitate to let me know.

Mesh Morpher 2.1.4 is Live! (08/18/2022)

  • [MM-240] Implemented T0 pose on FBX Import
  • [MM-241] Implemented the ability to set an offset location on FBX/OBJ import
  • [MM-242] Increased the accuracy of pose frame slider
  • [MM-243] Implemented a new SpinBox near the pose frame slider which allows to jump to certain frames and view the current frame position.
  • [MM-244] Section List in Tools is now using a fixed size with a scrollbar
  • [MM-245] Implemented Select All Sections in Tools
  • [MM-246] Implemented Export Morph Target As OBJ
  • [MM-247] Welding Settings are now centralized in Settings under Internal Welding Settings category. This allows for more consistency between Exported Meshes as OBJ(welded), Exported Morph Targets as OBJ(welded) and Mesh Morpher’s internal mesh(welded)
  • [MM-248] Create Morph Target from Mesh Files is now using as a target mesh the existing mesh with pose applied(if any)
  • [MM-249] Removed Legacy OBJ Importer. Legacy OBJ Importer was only used for OBJ quad meshes. FBX/OBJ Importer now supports triangle/quad meshes with polygons of 3 or 4 elements. This change also fixes an existing visual rendering bug with quad meshes.
  • [MM-250] Mask Selection triangles are sorted now on Export Mask Selection to OBJ. This allows for more consistent exports.
  • [MM-251] Fixed a bug where if the sections materials are invalid then the mesh would be invisible when a Morph Target is open
  • [MM-252] Fixed a bug with Mesh Materials in Custom Scene Proxy where having invalid Materials on the skeletal mesh would sometimes cause a crash

Mesh Morpher 2.1.5 is Live! (08/21/2022)

  • [MM-253] Improved performance and accuracy of Morph Target projection on meshes. We’re slowly preparing the grounds for the Wrapper functionality.
  • [MM-254] Improved ROI return performance in UMeshMorpherMeshComponent. Now it has better distribution across all threads.
  • [MM-255] Creating Morph Target from Meta Morphs (current mesh) has been implemented. It uses as a target mesh the current mesh with pose (if any)
113

Mesh Morpher 2.1.6 is Live! (08/25/2022)

  • [MM-256] Improved Create Morph Target From Mesh. This functionality is originally intended to work with Meta Human heads. With this version it allows the creation of Morph Targets from all kind of meshes.

This is still very experimental and work in progress. The best results come from meshes that share the skeleton and proportions.

Mesh Morpher 2.1.7 is Live! (09/01/2022)

  • [MM-257] Fixed a bug where smooth type combo box was not visible
  • [MM-258] Fixed a bug where the FBX Importer wouldn’t import all mesh sections
  • [MM-259] Improved the Wrapper. We now have two types of fitting, rigid and non-rigid. Rigid attempts to align, rotate and scale(optional) the meshes to fit them as much as possible. Non-rigid is using an enhanced ICP algorithm which attempts to fit the meshes by wrapping the target mesh around the source mesh.

The wrapper algorithm changed drastically, we now have plenty of options to optimize the wrapping process. We’ve reached a point where I believe the wrapping works as intended. Next step is to add the possibility to set control points to help the algorithm in certain areas.

Mesh Morpher’s Wrapper is still in its early stages, very experimental but I’m heavily invested into implementing it.
