Organization Per Character

whispers65

So I'm creating a bunch of characters.  So let's say I have this situation.

Character - normal skin.  maybe tan line
Character - wet skin, wet hair
Character - swimsuit, soccer uniform, regular clothes, basketball uniform, golf shirt, hallowween costume, whatever

Anyway, you get the picture.

Until now, i basically either recreate as needed or save as a scene.  but then it makes a lot of different scenes. no problem.

But what about an entire team?

I've thought of making each person their own folder.  But within Studio (I haven't done this so I don't know for sure) can't I save the skin, hair, and settings as some kind of preset and the outfits too?

At least that way I don't have a lot of files on the computer in scenes.  In the content folder, I can set up my own categories and have each person as a sub category?

How would you do it?  I have a lot of characters to make for my forever project.

Thanks.

A Wearables preset could save outfits and hair (and pose, if desired), a Character preset could save the shape and materials. A Scene subset can include everything, and will merge into the existing scene when double-clicked.

Thanks.  I do the scene subset all th time and do the merge.  I wasn't sure what the others were called so thanks for that.  I'll try them out this morning.
