[prev] Eg 4: Stage 3: Template Half to Second Head [next]

In previous versions of CySlice, the entire first head surface would have been templated onto the second head to create a clean morph target. But since the introduction of the Network Match Tool, a more flexible and efficient approach can be taken.

Figure 235. Templating Half Head

Figure 235 shows the beginning stages of templating only half of the first head network onto the second head. The half, once templated, can then be mirrored; this takes less time than templating the whole head network from the first polymesh.

Note: The half network from the first head could be from a SLICE file saved as part of the mirror templating of that first head. It could also be created by deleting half of the total first head network. The second approach, though it takes a little longer, would work best if the whole head network was edited at all after the mirroring.

Figure 236 shows a much later stage of the templating process; all points, curves and seeds have now been copied across.

Nothing new is happening in this stage; Figure 238 shows the half just created being mirrored.
