==== Are there any limits on parameter count, layer count, animation length, node count...? ====
  * No. As long as your hardware holds :-P.

==== Does demo version has any limitation? ====
  * No, it's fully featured, just has a 10 second nag screen every start up and a friendly reminder in welcome panel to buy a copy to help development funding.

==== Is there any free model to train rig or example psd files to check how model should be cut? ====
  * Inochi2D has example psd files. You can download them on [[https://lunafoxgirlvt.itch.io/inochi-creator|Itch's demo]] (or check this [[https://github.com/Inochi2D/inochi-creator/releases/download/v0.8.0-rc1/example-models.zip|link]] to download on github).

==== What are specifications to import KRA file? ====
  * Model .kra need to be: only raster layers, 8 bit. [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/888154799357440030/1170947838243524668/image.png?ex=6642ed27&is=66419ba7&hm=67ba206e1133776d8e0e94207a5e8865c837a9989996545d95914b270a5f03c1&|Visual info]].


==== How do you copy mesh to another part? ====
  * To copy mesh from one art layer to another, ''click'' on art layer that you want to copy to, then ''drag'' other art layer you want copy from to **edit mesh**, that now will be named as **copy mesh** while you are hovering. After ''dropping'', it'll open edit mesh mode so you can edit copied mesh as you wish.

==== How do you copy and paste a deform from one parameter to another? ====
  * :!: Requires Flip Pair Configuration :!: Requires same number of keypoints :!:
  * Click on engine icon of parameter you want to copy, then click on ''Copy''. Go on parameter you want copy to and click on engine icon, then click ''Paste and Horizontal Flip''. [[https://discord.com/channels/855173611409506334/1209600232766316594/1209600232766316594|Visual example]].
 
==== How do you auto mesh something small & detailed, like lips?  ====
  * Small and detailed parts (specially if it's too thin) will never make perfect auto mesh. But you can get better results when using ''Thin and minimum parts'' and modifying the minimum distance between vertices until you get satisfied. Probably you'll need to edit a little after auto mesh.

==== Is there an Inochi Creator equivalent of the Live2D warp-deformer? ====
  * Yes, the [[en:concept:meshgroup|Meshgroup]] node acts similar to a warp-deformer

==== How do you group nodes together? ====
  * You can group as you like. Each node has own strength, for more detail, check [[en:software:creator:edit-puppet#nodes|here]]. Or check [[en:software:creator:how-to-rig|this]] for rig example.

  * Group in ''Simple Node'' for those nodes that share same position when moving;
  * Group in ''Composite'' for those nodes that must work like one object being;
  * Group in ''MeshGroup'' for those nodes that must work like they have one single mesh.

==== Are there any Tutorials, blogs, videos or streams I can follow along with? ====
  * There are some listed in  [[en:resource:start|Resources]] 

==== Does PSD/KRA importing preserve the files folder/layer structure? ====
  * Yes, you need to go to ''Edit > Settings > File Handling > Import'' behaviour to activate it. It'll import folder as Simple Nodes

==== I get an error (Additional Layer Information section seems to be corrupt, signature does not match "8BIM".) when importing my PSD, what's wrong? ====
{{ :en:faq:error_corrupted_psd.png?nolink&400 |Corrupted psd error}}
  * The software you're using may be exporting PSD files in a way that Inochi Creator does not support yet. For now a free software you can use to export Inochi2D compatible PSDs is [[https://www.gimp.org/|GIMP]] (Import corrupted .psd on GIMP, and export as .psd). :!: Note, this is currently not a high priority issue but is acknowledged and will eventually be fixed in later versions.
  * Double check all your layers are raster only and do not have any vector layers. Inochi2D** only supports raster** art at this time.

==== What art softwares are known to export PSD files that Inochi Creator does not support yet? ====
  * Fire Alpaca, Medibang, ibisPaint, Affinity Designer, Sketchbook, SAI, and Procreate.

==== I imported KRA file and it has some weird black boxes ====
  * ([[https://discord.com/channels/855173611409506334/855173611409506337/1303671072683724840|Black boxes]])
  * Check if all layers in KRA file are raster layers
  * Check if there's any empty layers, if exists, delete them

==== There's strange blurr on model compared to drawing software ====
  * [[https://discord.com/channels/855173611409506334/855173611409506337/1310198710013267989|Example]]
  * Select Puppet on Nodes, go to Inspector and check "Use Point Filtering"

==== I'm getting a "fromString failed to parse float" error ====
  * Usually this can happen when you merge PSD or KRA file to your model. It's safer to merge with PNG.
  * Sometimes can be fixed with [[https://discord.com/channels/855173611409506334/855173611409506337/1299953344936280065|inpunpack (win64)]]. (Afterwards, you can rename .inp file as .inx if you need it).

==== When I use PSD/ KRA merge, Creator crashes ====
  * Make sure to not replace any parts (make sure layers don't have same names: no arrows when merging)
==== Does Creator have proportional editing? ====
  * Not currently, but is planned

==== When I drag something into Creator it says it can't load? ====
  * Dragging and dropping is reserved for specific things, you can try doing File -> Open and then selecting your file

==== What does the Grid Vertex tool do? ====
  * Quickly create grid-shaped mesh (it's not perspective grid tool).

==== How do I increase the subdivisions in the grid tool? ====
  * Click on the edge of the grid

==== What blend modes does Inochi2D support? ====
  * [[:en:concept:texture-b-m|Texture, Blending & Masks]]

==== How do I export something as a GIF/Video? ====
  * As long as a [[:en:concept:camera|Camera]] is setup you can export to GIF/Video. To make transparent GIFs, choose to export to APNG first, then use a third party tool (for example, [[https://ezgif.com/apng-to-gif|Ezgif]]) to further convert to GIF.

==== Is it possible to have parameters depend on other parameters? ====
  * No, there are no ways to make parameter depend on another one. But if you want to some physics be trigged by some parameter, it's possible.

==== How move vertices by smaller increments? ====
  * Hold down ALT and move the vertices 

==== How do you change how physics behaves? ====
  * Change the mode, default is Pendulum

==== How do I flip something in Creator? ====
  * Set scale to ''-1''




===== Inochi Session =====
Frequently asked questions about [[en:software:session:start|Inochi Session]]

==== Which webcam should I use for face-tracker? ====
  * Any webcam that is at least 1080p should be fine 
  * Lighting matters more


==== What face-trackers work with Inochi Session? ====
  * OpenSeeFace, VtubeStudio, IFacialMocap, PuppetString (or any other tracker that can send VMC) 


==== How do I set up mouth tracking in Inochi Session? ====
  * For simple mouth tracking: ''ftMouthEmotion'' for X, and ''ftMouthOpen'' for Y
  * ''mouthx'' is for tilting your mouth
  * ''mouth emotion'' set tracking in to be ''-1 to 1''

==== Can you toggle expressions? ====
  * Not out of the box yet, but it is possible with [[en:resource:software|custom software]] that emits quantized parameter values (like ''0, 0.5, 1'').

==== Is it possible to make a tracking lost animation? ====
  * Yes, it needs to be named ''tracking_lost''

==== Is there an option to stay at some pose when tracking is lost in Inochi Session? ====
  * If you name an animation ''tracking_lost'', Inochi Session will play it when tracking is lost.

==== Is there a way to make face-tracking less snappy? ====
  * Yes, adjust your tracking-in 

==== What does tracking-in and tracking-out mean? ====
  * Tracking-in is the value that's being received from the tracking software.
  * Tracking-out is the value being passed to the puppet parameter.

==== How to make idle animation loop that doesn't use tracking data? ==== 
  * ''Right click'' the name of parameter, then click ''Expression Binding''. Below dampen there's a space for math expressions, you'll need to write there to make animation loop. For more detail, [[https://github.com/Inochi2D/inochi-session/wiki/Expressions|check here]].

==== How do I oscillate something up and down? ====
  * Use Math expressions, for example, ''abs(sin(time / 3))''

==== Is there any way to understand easily those math expressions? ====
  * You should write down math expression on this [[https://www.desmos.com/calculator/|link]], it shows visual graphic of that expression.
