It is perfect for professionals!
What’s the difference between the three deliverables?
• Delivery in MAYA scene contains a ready-to-use faceboard for your animator to control the blendShapes
• Delivery in MAYA scene + FBX contains a ready-to-use faceboard for your animator to control the blendShapes + an FBX format that allows you to use your rigged model in any 3D software.
• Delivery in Unreal Engine project contains a ready-to-use faceboard for your animator to control the blendShapes
What are the requirements?
When you proceed to checkout and upload your model, you need to respect the following criteria:
• We can process up to 200 000 polygons
• Your 3D model must have a neutral pose (eyes open and mouth shut)
• You must include your model’s eyeballs and inner mouth (teeth, gum, tongue) as additional elements
• Model can be uploaded with full body, rig and skin
If you have any other additional features such as eyelashes, eyebrows, or beards, they should also be included.
After uploading your model, it is added to the queue and our team will check it. As soon as they approve it and your order is the 1st in the queue, it will be processed within 72 hours.
By default, we combine the different geometries in one single mesh to facilitate using the model in motion capture. If you would like to have the blendShapes for each geometry, we do that too, just let us know when you make your order!
Support and retakes are provided free of charge for 3 months after the delivery date.
