Week 22: UE 4.7? Hallelujah.
How is time going this fast? It feels like the deadline is next week already, send help.So you know the rabbit I was remodelling last week? Here he is all finished and pretty. I'm a little happier with how this guy turned out - the topology seems to have a more consistent flow to it and he'll be soooooo much easier to rig! I haven't put any clothing on him yet as James wants him rigged and put in engine ASAP.
I started a basic rig on Friday so I can start animating him on Monday. Apparently in the new update of UE4, it's possible to animate within the engine. LIFE. MADE. I wasn't sure how to tackle the rigging at first, bones or CATrig wise. I've never done the latter of the two before, so I decided to give it a go anyway. Sweet Jesus it's so much fun. Everything is a funky colour and is 10x easier to place than regular bones.
Well. It might've been easier to place, but it didn't last long. Firstly, Max kept moaning at me that there were issues when exporting, which I was told to ignore, but that was nothing compared to the nightmare I had when importing into UE4. Apparently, at some point I'd managed to include multiple roots within the rig. God knows how. But it sent everything to hell. It didn't really help that after 2 and a half hours searching for something that might help, I still hadn't found a fix.
Brilliant.
