Wow this is exactly what I was looking for!! I needed reassurance that this workflow is possible. Specially the bridging back and forth with unreal. The meta human stuff was AWESOME! Thank you for sharing ! You are the man !!

Probably won’t get an answer since this vid is relatively old but I’m at my wits end so here goes: How do you go about retopology and potentially rigging for multi-layered clothes?? It’s easy enough with single layer clothes like a shirt or a skin tight suit, you just erase the model underneath the clothes and you rig the character with the clothes tied to the body bones as if it IS the body. But what do you do with layered clothes like a shirt, vest, and suit on top of each other?? Do you retopo each one of them separately?? Or do you retopo them on top of one another as one mesh?? If you retopo them separately then you surely do a similar thing as previously mentioned and delete the parts of the clothes that’s hidden under other clothes right?? But then the conundrum happens with what if the visible part of the clothes is super tiny like a shirt under the vest and the suit is only visible by the collar only so is it worth it to retopo the whole thing?? Or even make it a separate mesh instead of combining it with the vest?? Do you then combine everything that is separate under one mesh umbrella to be rigged as one single entity?? Ps. When I say combine I don’t mean connect every mesh piece my merging vertices that would be immensely hard and inefficient, but I mean that the mesh pieces won’t be “connected” in the literal sense but more so act as one mesh in the space.

@@hardcoregamer739 hey mate, cmon video isn’t that old lol. Yep so you wouldn’t retopo a WHOLE shirt, if it has a jacket over the top, and that jacket doesn’t come off. All elements can me retopo’d seperately, and should be, but it’s all imported as a single mesh in engine anyway. I’m due to update this, has I think there’s a lot that should be updated for proper in engine assets, not just presenting like I have here.

@@animarch3D I genuinely can't thank you enough bro and your dedication to your videos is something else man 90% of CCs don't interact or look at their vids weeks after it was released, yet here you are still responding to queries and feedback almost a full year later. Hats of to you!! I'll definitely hop into discord you definitely seem like someone who knows what they're talking about. Also please if and when you remake this vid or if you're looking for a video idea consider going in-depth on my question since as someone who has been going over every crevasse of the internet with a comb could hardly find anything about my question after weeks of research so you'd be the only one on the entire platform that tackled this issue that no doubt plagued plenty of people other than me.

yoo thanks dude. Yea that's right, not rigged. I was thinking id do a separate video for externally rigging in Maya, using the metahuman skeleton. thought that deserved a video of its own haha. thanks for the support man, glad I found your channel too

Hi there. Did you use virtual shadowmaps or cascaded shadows ? I have an issue with my character , it's retopologized and is quite low poly 28k triangles , but the shadow artifacts i get from using virtual shadow maps in project settings just breaks the character. They look like a shadow terminator problem and shadow acne and with VSMs you cant adjust shadow bias. The only way i found to fix it is to make the faces really smooth , but that takes away from the silhouette too much , or to subdivide it , but that would make it 80k triangles just for the body and i think it wouldnt make a good portfolio wireframe piece. So any tips on this issue ? How do artists render their characters in ue5 with good and low topology without showing those faceted shadows.
@animarch3D
@animarch3D 4 ай бұрын
Hey man, I think I understand the question. I usually soften edges in maya, and then “unlock normals” will smooth the mesh, and get rid of any bad shadowing. If you wanna send me more info on the problem or screen shots, message me on discord! Cheers

Hey! yep so in the games industry that would be job of a rigger, not a character artist. If you were to animate this character in UE5 (sort of easily) would be to skin it to a UE5 skeleton, the use the rig inside of UE5. If you would be interested in this workflow I can do a video on it! Cheers
