Hi, I am having trouble trying to get the face flexes to work with my model.

HLMV:

Note that the "MouthClose" slider is set to 1, so it's supposed to have the jaw to close, but it isn't in HLMV.

Now, I followed the Valve Developer Wiki on how to implement face flexes and I have tried pretty much everything there, but it resulted in the same result. And yes, I have set the MouthClose flex to 100% in frame 1 only, so I am not too sure why it isn't working.

QC File:

Code Select Expand

So I do not know with cursory inspection why your model is failing. It could be in the QC settings for the flex. But I haven't worked with flex deeply for last year so I'm not sure if the syntax has a problem at first glance.

I recorded a video to help explain the WW process to do it most efficiently, but I won't get a chance to edit and load it until the weekend.

Actually, never mind. I managed to figure out what I did wrong. It turns out I was doing it correctly the whole time. It had something to do with the scale command in the qc file that I didn't mentioned here. I solved it by scaling it inside Max.
