Started Picking at a new character for a personal project. Grabbed the hair from an abandoned exploration. Still playing around with proportions.
Wanna play with my wing feather setup to drive the cloak...think it might work.
cgmTools update
MRS FK orient dynamic parent setup added to limbs and more. Josh had been doing some fps work and forgot while we hadn't originally added it. So, it's in.
Sorry we've been quiet. Just plugging along making stuff.
#midjourney had a new release this week and I wanted to see how it worked with my proxy rigs from MRS. This is my giant otter proxy rig (top). Removing the control curves would be better results.
Pretty neat visualization tool for rough geo before committing to a final look.
Been a bit. We've been busy.
New cgmTools update dropped focused on Scene (our asset management/export tool).
- Directory masking
- Maya grid settings support
- bugs
On py2 and py3 repos.
A big congrats to our friends at Frost Giant. They're using cgmTools and the Morpheus Rig System to stellar ends. Well done on the kickstarter!

Unreal Tip | If you've ever needed a specific order on materials coming into to Unreal from Maya. The '_skin01' post on this worked.

Ran into a weird bug with 2023 where Maya wouldn't update the timeline between files. Data is stored in the scenes but not being updated.
This worked for now. I added it to cgmScene's load button for Maya 22 until it's resolved.
{Birds-of-a-Feather : MRS Build-a-long}
We're going to do mini build a long of things with wings for subscribers on our Discord. If interested, hop on the link in our bio and check announcements.

Up on both py2/py3 branches of tools.
Added dynamic spring functionality to KeyEaser. This one is a lot of fun, and is gonna save a bunch of time I won't have to use simulating the same effect. #techanim#maya
Adding noise to KeyEaser. Not super happy with the workflow. Going to adjust my undo queue to complete when the keys are deselected as opposed to on slider change, so amplitude and frequency can be tweaked together until you get what you want.
