Thanks! It's good the plugin is useful and working. I see why this seems like a small feature, but I’m keeping the plugin focused on being a simple handler of a list of static morph values rather than owning animation behavior. It's to be like the MVR morph presets. Reusable because it does...

starman updated Expression Presets with a new update entry: Expression Presets v7 - Overlay and Persistence Read the rest of this update entry...

Added Overlay target preset and Weight Show/Save Thumbnails, Enable Logging and Thumbnail Size now save to a settings file on disk instead of saving to scene. Added preset rename - just fill in a name before Overwrite. Reset morphs now does not clear targets for Blend and Overlay. It just sets...

Thanks! The patterns are all there to be seen. The customization is probably excessive but it was done for fun this time. The tabs and compact custom elements were easy to add as I had created them all months ago for an unreleased major project that needed many small UI pieces, but I lost...

starman updated Expression Presets with a new update entry: Expression Presets v6 – Minor Fixes and Thumbnail Scaling Read the rest of this update entry...

Fixed: Overwrite and Next/Previous no longer lose track of the loaded preset after a thumbnail snap or UI reopen. The toast message at the top always shows the current preset used for Auto-load and weight params. If none, then it says none. Added Thumbnail scaling. Thumbnails are saved at 256px...

Now a big post. Two things added will allow for you ideas. Blend and Transition weights. These two things composite on each other. The things I added fit the plugin because they can be exposed as actions without changing the preset format and use case or adding more UI. I don’t plan to add...

starman updated Expression Presets with a new update entry: Expression Presets v5 - Big Update. Thumbnails, Blending, Random, Exclusions, and Stuff Read the rest of this update entry...

Presets can have thumbnails Added a string chooser param: "Blend Preset" - Empty means off. Added a float param: "Blend Weight" Added an action: "LoadRandomPreset" Added an action with a profile picker: "LoadRandomPresetFromProfile" Added param: "AutoLoadPresetAfterPoseChange" Morphs can be...

Yes, I will be solving this. Upon considering the problem, I realize a big solution. I will make a big post at some time.

Thanks! The plugin was made for the case of creating expressions without going through many steps. I plan on a release of this with the full freedom of VAM 2. The uses cases are good. The load random preset from profile for one, is trivial and a good useable case. I have a few thoughts and...

starman updated Expression Presets with a new update entry: Expression Presets v4 – Animatable Transition Weights Read the rest of this update entry...

Added a per-preset float param: "Weight: ProfileName: PresetName" Added a global float param that drives the last selected preset: "TransitionWeight" These allow presets to be driven (animated) by VAM's transition trigger system, sliders, AcidBubble's Timeline or Everlaster's...

Oh, that's what you mean of course. I read the request too quickly. Yes, that's very possible. I didn't have a use case for this on presets but it's easy to do. I'll look at it when I find the time later this week. At the very least it can just be exposed to be driven by VAM's trigger system...

Good the plugin is getting use! Thumbnails I won't work with until Vam 2 because of the restrictive MVR plugin UI. I'd have to remake the plugin with a custom UI to do that. As for a stored value for a preset to be "on"... It's a list of morphs and a static value. The morphs can be mutated in...
