Went on a tour of the farm and got to feed the sheep and alpacas. Also saw some hot air balloons!

The League section still has room for a few more, which is good because I’m pretty sure I have a few on preorder 😅

Once your proportions are locked in, I recommend exporting a static mesh of these changes from the editor that the artist can use to line their source model back up to. Then, you can pass back to rigging for a final update.

Of course, for limb lengths, you need to get a little more creative and utilize the translation mode while also moving the pelvis to offset the change, like so:

As we run the game, we can tweak that variable live and it will keep once we're done running the game. Using this method, we can setup all sorts of variables: head size, hand size, arm length, leg length, torso length, character scale, etc.

Using the Transform (modify) Bone skeletal control inside of an animation blueprint can give the artist direct control of proportions while be able to see the results live in game! Let's start with head size as an example.

Want a cool tip on how to quickly iterate on blockout models/rigs no matter the complexity (using Unreal), thereby reducing the iteration cycles required between character art and rigging while also giving character art more control? Then let me introduce the this little guy:

Tonight, this lovely boy passed away, shortly his 14th birthday a few weeks ago. I loved this dog so so much.

I'm trying to get the collector's edition, but your site isn't working. I go to the cart and it just says this after clicking "Proceed"

This is so funny to me. I’m pretty sure this is not, in fact, a positive pattern lol
