Data Structure for Imported Characters

After an FBX format character is imported, its associated data will be well organized and distributed into different folders.

Folders

  • All textures will be connected to a material ball.

  • Double-clicking on either of the material ball will reveal multiple parameters that can be adjusted.
ClosedMotion
  • The animation sequence will be imported along with the motion files.
  • All Morph data is also included.
ClosedRigs
  • The skeletal mesh will be separated into face and body, according to the Unreal control rig specifications.
  • The IK Retargeter is also applied.
