How to make Conforming Props for G8

gibrril_fa945a6cee

Hi all,

I want to create a conforming prop for the G8 figures: a puddle of slime that sticks to the figure and follows its movements when posed (eg on the hands and arms).

This would be my first attempt at such a project. How would I go about it? How do I make the prop or figure conform?

Thanks a lot,

Model it to fit the zeroed figure, import as OBJ and make sure it lines up with the zeroed figure, then use Edit>Figure>Transfer Utility setting the Source to the base figure and the Target to your model.

Thanks! Can you save it as such (so that you have to do that action only once?)

Yes, one you have the item rigged (and there may be a need to edit the weight maps or add extra joint controlled morphs - it depends on the shape) then you can use File>Save As>Support Assets>Figure/Prop Asset to save it as an item you can load (you could also just save a scene or scene subset).

Thanks! Any insights on how to add said joint controlled morphs?
