I've now made 33 cyberpunks using this method, they all animate fine via BVH files (brought in via DAZ and aniblocks).

This is a 3 part series, starting at part 2 and ending at part 4 (part 1 was a demo)

I am releasing part 2 today, part 3 on monday, part 4 on tuesday. Then I'm doing a little scene with music, lights and everything to celebrate!

Rather than explain the process here, I'll leave you to click on the link.

If you feel this is a duplicate of my demo post, then please remove the original post, let me know and I'll edit this post to talk about part 1 as well.

Future parts 3-4 will be added to this thread.

Cheers!

Great!!! Thanks for sharing!

Skeletons, attaching them, Clothes, UV savings,  and reducing the object file.

I won't make a fuss usually, but you need to know this info.

In this episode I show the reduced figure imported again into Carrara and we look at the quality of the model, the shading domains, and how to attach a skeleton.

Now we import an aniblock (that could easily come from a BVH file).

Next we look at some of the issues that will arise if you model for skeletons. Particularly the legs can be a problem.

Finally without UV maps you'll be limited to colours (not texture files) with your shaders. although you might get lucky I guess at a texture file would still look ok (box mapping).

However for far away shots these figures look fine as colours and contours only as I will show in a forthcoming tutorial.
