Auto Character System 3

DESCRIPTION

Auto Character System 3 is next generation of auto rigging and animation tools for Foundry MODO and a continuation of production proven Auto Character Setup series.

Features Summary:

• Fully modular architecture that allows for assembling rigs from pre made assets using drag and drop actions.
• Non-linear workflow, rigs can be readjusted at any time, even if the animation process is in progress already.
• Contextual approach for easy focusing on a single task at a time: assembling, fitting, binding, weighting or animation.
• Biped and quadruped rig presets included.
• A plethora of modules such as biped/quadruped leg, biped arm, spine, joint chains modules, etc. included for easy custom rigs assembly.
• Mesh resolutions for setting up variants of the rig (proxy, low resolution, high resolution, etc.) or for creating variations of the character such as different clothing sets.
• Improved binding workflow including tools such as: binding using existing weight maps (Bind From Map), duplicating bind setup, transferring bind setup from one mesh to another and an Unbind command.
• Improved weighting workflow via custom palette combining standard and proprietary tools.
• Automatic holder joints for limb modules for improved deformation around areas such as shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles.
• Single click weights mirroring that supports both standard and topological symmetry.
• Automatic mesh and box proxies setup for improved animation performance.
• ACS3 rig evaluation is up to 50% faster than ACS2 rig with comparable feature set (tested on biped rig).
• Poses and actions library, poses and actions mirroring.
• A set of tools for faster animation process: seamless IK/FK workflow, space switching for rig controllers, keyframe editing commands.
• Almost setup-free space switching workflow enables easy dynamic parenting of rig controllers during animation.
• Rig clay interface support for intuitive posing of characters by directly clicking or dragging on mesh regions (gestures support is experimental).
• Retargeting support for using motion capture animation with ability to animate over retargeted motion.
• Seamlessly integrated interface with many features and settings available directly via item properties panel.
• Standardize tool for making ACS3 scenes compatible with vanilla MODO.
• Rig baking tool for export to external applications.
• Dedicated game export tools for streamlined workflow with Unity, Unreal and other game engines.
