Hello,

Can the Agent Layer SOP be used to select between 5 variations of skinned heads in the same character FBX file ?

/M

It should be able to - do those variations show up in the Shape menu when adding a new shape binding?

Hm..Are you refering to the “Shape” parameter in the Agent Layer SOP once you upped the Layer Bindings to 1 ? I breifly looked there and it mostly looked like the joints from the character rig, but perhaps I should look closer. Is there something one should do in MB/Maya for them to show up there if they dont ? because I will have to look at it on monday since im at home now.

Yeah, that's the correct menu - the default shape names produced by the Agent SOP/ROP are just based on the node names in the source character rig / FBX file.
If Minimal Nodes is turned on, nodes that aren't visible and aren't bones/joints that influence skin geometry will be skipped, so you could try turning that off. Otherwise, you could send in the file to support so that we can take a look at it.

Allright I will take a look at it on monday, crowds are totally new to me but I guess I was on the right track then just have to take a closer look !
