Very reasonable.

You trying the new retopoflow 4 beta or are you using retopoflow 3?

This looks awesome! I have done something similar with my current project when I blocked it out, but didn't go nearly as granular as you did with the muscle groups. Only the blockouts arms come close, and that is after I reworked them.

Depending on what animations you want to look at you could buy monster hunter rise when it's on sale. It's built to run on switch and has probably 90% of the same weapon animations which you can test without engaging in the game too much. Monster animations will come from fighting monsters though.

Whatever system they use is pretty good but still has some flaws. Like picking up an item with a long use animation while running around prevents you from jumping off ledges until the animation finishes. Combat animations for hunters and monsters flow very well though.

I'm hoping to use this to make the testing of the splits pose easier while I struggle on the hip rigging. Most of the examples I've seen just rotate the leg from the rest-pose, but Unity adds some twist to the upper leg which is dependent on the orientation of the knee and the rig's twist values.

Legs are a part of normal rigging, but they are probably reffering to the fact that Meta didn't have legs on thier avatars for a while. Not sure why they mention it for second life since animations in that are a little different than IK legs that I usually see in VR games.

They are pulling a surprising share of users these days on account of fortnite and all those free games they give out like candy. I don't think I'll ever use thier platform but there is a growing number of kids who have never used anything else.

You reminded me that one of the "cars" I wanted as a kid was the Carver One, a funky enclosed bike/microcar thing. You get the coverage of a car but the size of a large motorcycle.

Here is another example. You can create something that acts like an absolute value function. This works by utilizing a quirk of aim constraints that have the up vector set to an object. With a little extra work you can even alter the setup as a way to establish minimum (or maximum) bounds.

Super excited for this update. More so with all the goodies you've shown off with this status report.

I also know a lot of people go to club events on the weekend to listen to different DJs. That's another option you could look at. I think I remember that someone set up a website calender thing that has a bunch of these events on it, but I don't remember is name off the top of my head.
