Hi everyone,

I need some pointing in the right direction with singing faces, I grabbed the 2 gnomes Nelly and Nellis from Troy @ ELD and I can't quite get them to work correctly. I am not sure if its a model issue, or an xlights issue.

I have attached here, the model setup in a sequence, I drag the faces effect onto the main model and point it towards the lyrics track - this works fine on the mouth no issues here.

On the female model, there is different channels for high brim and low brim hat, yet not on the male. There also seems to be no eyes on the male model even though I select them in the effect properties ( no changes on the models between open / closed / auto ) I suspect this is a model issue. Any advise?

Thanks

Can you provide screenshots of the submodel channel assignments.

Hi

Does anyone know how you can use the Auto Eyes (Open/Close) & Show Outline effects with 8 Channel LED Faces?

Or do you have to sequence them individually?

Regards

Hi Chas

How do I set the channels up for them to be auto?

you need to add node numbers here for open and closed in the eyes section ( Layout , click the model, open faces section) - limitation in xlights you can only use 3 colours so it doesnt work perfectly with these models but its pretty close that I still use it

Hi Chas

I only have 8CH Dumb Led Faces, so I don't think it will work, but I'll give it a go?

Thanks
