Is there any way to have the tool remember my visibility state on the armature?
When I am working on the hands or feet I like to turn off the bone display in the outliner. However, when I make an adjustment to a slider value, the bones are automatically turned back on.
You can do this manually for the color by baking Diffuse with just Color selected. That should work.
Custom visibility is not implemented yet, but you can try to change the armature display from āOctahedralā to āWireā, as workaround.
you can also try āOnly Renderā in the N panel.
The proxy function might still need some tweaking. This is the hair asset proxy fitted (with default values) to an Asian Female, which has her head shape changed during the creation process.
Her .json file:
FACSvatar_MB-161a_asian_femalebackup.json (1.9 KB)
Any other combination of offset+influence didnāt really give satisfactory results. Iāve never encountered this problem with v1.6.1.
EDIT: I removed, re-downloaded and re-installed v1.6.1a of the add-on, init Asian female, no changes, finalize, add hair asset, proxy fit with default values <-- hair still goes through skin.
I also have a request: With your add-on, we can change eye color and skin deformation. The _body_derm.png however does not reflect these changes, making it hard to get the same effect when imported in, for example, Unity3D. Could you provide an option to save an image with all effects applied?
Itās the corrective smooth modifier that is automatically added to the proxy object. Usually it helps, in particular for distant elements, but in some cases the smooth surface can intersect the body.
You can try to:
set the influence to 20
It was already at 20. If you saw my edit, it also happens on the default asian female model.
then select the proxy and disable its corrective smooth modifier in the Blender modifers panel.
(select the hair assets, then the wrench icon to open modifier and youāll find [mbastlab_corrective_modifier], unselect both the eye and camera icon).
This indeed fixes the issue at hand, thank you.
I quickly re-installed v1.6.1, did the proxy fitting thing just for the hair asset and re-installed v1.6.1a ā also solves it.
Hi, Iām trying to weight clothes to my MBLab character but every time I tried, I get the skirt moving forward after use Automatic weight. Does someone have an idea?
Thanks!
Clothes must be modelled on a reference base template, in order to be automatically fitted to all derived characters: http://www.manuelbastioni.com/guide_a_detailed_tutorial_about_clothes.php#prepare_proxy
This is planned, but after the 1.7.0.
Thanks for the reply, Manuel.
I should have mentioned that I know the proxy method but I would like to use this one that Iāve used before and that is working fine for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imhTnlKrTOY (Rigging Technique for Mutliple Layers of Clothing and Accessories in Blender).
Iām sorry if I make you repeat something that you already explain to someone else but Iāve search without success. 
Can you just explain me why itās not possible to use it and why the skirt is moving forward, please? 
if you arent using lab tools, then you will get alot better support if you ask in the modelling section.
Hi Manuel, I have a small request. Could you do displacement maps for lips and skin in general? When I say lips displacement I mean things like this:
Details and realism will be greatly improved in lab 1.7.0. As example take a look to this recent preview of new male base mesh: http://www.manuelbastioni.com/gallery_170_05.php
Awezome, I plan to make Blender my main DCC tool 
Hey @Manuel, there seems to be an error for me for female models such that there isnāt a closed eye morph target for the right eye. There is an Expressions_eyeClosedR_min but not an Expressions_eyeClosedR_max. Itās still in the f_ca01_exprs but isnāt being applied for some reason. I donāt yet have a full understanding of how the morph system works, would you explain how this error might occur and how to fix it when you have the time?
Thanks!
This was fixed in version 1.6.1a: http://www.manuelbastioni.com/wip_170005_manuelbastionilab_161a_release.php
Amazing!! Do you have a thread for the WIP?
@Manuel I remember you once wrote you would like to have as a feature to your add-on that a user could take a photo of a person, and it would automatically create a model that looks like him/her.
Seems AI could help you in that direction:
