Face morph disappeared!?

this is due to updated patches on max but not on motion builder has been updated on our computers this semester!?.......

So follow these steps and you will have your face morphs back!!!


1. prepare your animation.fbx , character1.max and same character2.max (2 character.maxes)

2. Open character1.max, import your animation.fbx in...
( you may start cleaning in this file if you wish)

3. delete all the meshes and morphs in the file (keep the animation and the biped)

4. click on your biped, go to the (Motion) tab (make sure you are NOT in figure mode)


5. there is a "save" button next to the folder (open) button under the figure button
click the "Save" button....... this will save your animation to .bip

6. open your character2.max (this could be any character, or same character if you wish)

7. click on your biped, go to the (Motion) tab (make sure you are NOT in figure mode)

8. there is a "open(or import)" button that looks like a folder figure button
click the "open" button and choose your exported .bip file
