I've edited my base character with extra bones to be dedicated and labeled "spring joints" I show the result of movement in the attached video by adding joints in key locations. I further recommend you allow batch import of joints built into the character identified as "SpringJoint" with...More
It can be hard editing weights with the weight painter especially if you don't have your reference/skin textures showing.. they can often help/remind users where the limits of hard and soft should be - texture borders....More
I have a big issue with this. When you've lined up your camera angles just right for weight painting such as 8inside the mouth for example but after you realize you need to scale a bone from that perspective and open up proportions, it takes you out of your ideal view that took you a long time...More
I can create a body motion with facial animation in iC8 and then use it in CC4 but that doesn't help because I'm trying to create and test custom facial expressions. So this is strange that we can use the facial editor with an existing animation in iC8 but not in CC4. I'm using spring effects...More
CC4 had a crash and asked me to restore and I pointed to a location on a USB stick. The saving process looked normal but the recovery just loaded a blank project instead. So i checked the file itself and it told me it has a error and can't load. I realized later the USB stick had become file...More

With the new standard blendshapes, the morph to close the eyes does not completely close them when the eyes look up (so when the eye-look-up morphs are active). This is really noticeable in closeups whenever a character that is looking up blinks, it would be great if that could be fixed. This...More
One of the the most amazing things about vertex assignment + physics weights/cloth hybrid is that If you have a slider that shifts the strength from balanced (vertex assignment + Soft cloth) then shift it completely to soft cloth, then all those pieces can fall! So imagine hair suddenly fall...More
Am informed that Character Creator4 is not backward compatible (at this time regarding Custom characters) and I am now required to save a duplicate character in another directory for CC4. This is eating up precious storage space, aggravating, and the constant re-installation of already installed...More
