When creating characters with elasticity and realistic exaggeration, we need to sometimes even out the surface stretch and spread out bones as needed. The only other way around this is to add two additional neck bones and have the 3rd starting as the main head bone but we don't always have...More
I accidentally pressed K and the view zoomed out far, then I tried to reorient the view with J but it does nothing. Even if I orient the view to Front, the J key does nothing nor does the option to select the view to J....More
Title: Animation At Work 2022 Explore Space | Twitchymo Studio Author: Mark Dent My submission for the CTA Animation At Work Contest 2022, and published on the webpage. I noticed that my WIP playlist link does not work. I have included a list of all the WIP youtube videos and the links....More
I've cycled through the list of bones to identify influences and also selected verts on body parts such as the foot to know why the verts are being stretched over to the opposite side as if the Characterization ignores the toe weight paint - Also why in bone edit mode the breast bones are symmetric...More
I don't know if this is a bug or an oversight, but bones that weren't included in characterization should be adjustable, this is essential! FK mode in Edit Motion Layer still allows us to animate non characterized bones with FK which is awesome but we have no way to refine the bones in CC4...More
I would like to be able to create non-human hands and feet, as well as non-human attributes including wings, and horns. Every hand is 5 digits and a thumb. We see Andorians on Star Trek that have head mounted appendages that move. We have Ahsoka Tano in StarWars that has unique head appendages...More
Most of us usually don't sculpt with smooth with wireframe in sculpting programs, it's extremely hard to see smoothness with wireframe render mode. To see smoothness we usually see the normal sculpt mesh and examine with lighting....More
This is an easy method for Individual hairs, or other meshes attach to any area that has multiple joint influences. With right click and copy over the mouse position, the user is able to copy all the weight influences from many joints then then select another object's verts, either partially...More
Pose based retargeting by using a Dynamic 3D version of the Human Retargeting Characterization map -the user customizes the 3D Characterization pose altering it to match the character to be retargeted. For example If you posed the Dynamic Human Characterization model into a quadruped pose there...More
Some times the bone order is not ideal or the model has too many/unnecessary joints. Some might want to simplify the joints for games or prep a version of it for sale etc. Often after creating an experimental character externally I'd import into CC4 and examine functionality with animation...More
