| May 24, 2020 at 21:33 | comment | added | Ed Park | Hey that's a really handy suggestion (at time of this writing, face sets is a new feature in 2.83 alpha)! I'm going to have to play around with this because after creating the UV seams and trying to pose the various body parts I get mixed results (sometimes the parts get disconnected from each other and can't be posed). Failing that, I'm just going to have to go back to the drawing board and use a different character. Thanks moonboots! | |

Is it fair to say it's game over with not having them in a T pose? If so, it confuses me that the author says that the model is rigged for animation as you're given the vertex groups but not the original armature. | |

| May 23, 2020 at 17:07 | comment | added | Ed Park | Hi moonboots, thanks for the suggestion. I made a short screen capture of what happens when I try that; grabbing the hand and moving it results in the arm moving in an unexpected way. The bones are named correctly so I'm not quite sure why this happens (also, attempting to grab and move other bones doesn't always move the mesh). youtu.be/Fon7OT2nlok | |
