I got the blendshape controls for the body in. Not really a big deal there. I manually set these up this time since there's only 6 now. It's small script.
The bulk of the work this week was getting saving and loading to external, shareable files. It works, and it's fantastic. A thumbnail image is taken of the saved section that is then loaded up when you go to save/load sections. The thumbnail took a fair amount of the time.
I really wanted to be able to combine the actual appearance information and the thumbnail into one file, so it was easier to share. Unfortunately, after spending hours and hours trying to merge the damn things, I couldn't get it to work. It's probably possible, but I'm just not savvy enough to get it to work. Regardless, I am very happy with the save/load results.
I actually still need to add saving/loading the body blendshapes, and also selecting the genitals. Getting anxious to finish up the character creator, but at the same time, there's so many things I want to add. I'll just leave it for those two though.
