I just pause it at a very specific time during the animation. My character's face doesn't reset, at least during the emotes I did/do.

If you have an expression selected, it can get a bit fiddly. Make sure you have no expression selected, then change to the emote you want (If you're already on the emote, switch off to another, then back).

Are you selecting the correct portrait? ((Just asking because that's the simplest explanation for what you're encountering.))

Was feeling cheeky. May delete later.

Yeah.. This is what I was doing too... but my face always resets.

I do have it on "none" so I dunno what's happening.

it's the exact right portrait.. it just doesn't hold the expression for some reason. Swapping to it SHOWS the right expression for a moment but it just DROPS off your face and I get what's below.




this is basically what happens. On the left is what I want to have. Paused at the perfect time. no expression selected. From there I just hit save... however. on the right is what my portraits show.


As the window likes to remind me.. this is a beta version.. so I expect bugs but I'm a little annoyed OTHERS can seem to get this to work but I can't. There's a couple posts in the bugs forum about changing hairstyles fixing things .. so I'll try that later today I guess.

I did some testing with cheer. I think there must be some issue with that portion of the cheer's animation. I paused my character at what should be around the same as yours. Saving the portrait resets her face. However, pausing at an earlier time during the animation, her expression is saved.

Weirdly enough it's nice to see this isn't a "me" problem and someone else can duplicate it. I guess I'll submit this as a bug and find a more "stable" point in the animation to work with.

I also ran into the issue where the facial expression resets when the portrait is saved. It was with the /blowkiss emote. When I saved the picture, my character had a straight face instead of a smile. I had to manually select /smile as an expression.

It seems to very much be a certain point in the different animations that won't save correctly. I remade my cheer one:

Works fine.. but no hand grabbing the camera since it has to be much earlier in the animation.
