is there a way to obtain male-to female slider values?

[Rosanna]

Dear group,

I was wondering if there is a way to read out the value corresponding to the Gender slider bar.  Is this information stored in the .fg file in a way that could be made accessible for users?  I am asking because I would like to obtain a distribution of the slider values for my male and female faces I am already using as stimuli in an experiment.

Thanks!

There is no way to read a precise numerical value in Modeller (or from an FG file), you would need our software developer kit for that.

You can set a precise value by starting at the limits (-3 and 3) and using the arrow keys to advance by 0.1 per keystroke. On that scale, male is at -1 and female at +1.

Best wishes,

Hi FaceGen Guru,

Can you please elaborate on this. I found the Gender variable and started at male and went to female with the arrow key. I counted 31 arrow presses to get to male to female. Am I doing something wrong here to not get the .1 per keystroke you mentioned? Is there an easier way to manipulate gender? Please let me know.

Thanks,

You are right !

My apologies, that advice was from an earlier version of Modeller or a different slider. I don't know what I was thinking.

You can both view and set exact slider values using Modeller Pro, which has numerical fields with every slider control.

Male mean remains -1.0 and female mean at 1.0.

Modeller Core does not have this feature.

Sorry again and best wishes,
