AAA Quality FP Hands Pack from Ironbelly Studios

Thanks for the comprehensive explanation. We actually had the hands completely re-rigged a month ago after we realized our first update didn’t do the trick but it’s been delayed getting pushed to the marketplace. That’s the reality of having 30-40 marketplace packs to keep updated and debugged. With any luck we’ll see this fixed and on the marketplace in the next week. That being said it is still possible to use the current hands as is.

Sure I can appreciate that, but come on friend. I’m looking through the reviews on the MP page and it’s not looking great. People are complain about the same issue and its been months. This doesn’t look like a major overhaul here so I don’t think this is the kind of update that is half a year in the making. On that note, something that some others do with their packs when they need an update, is they can email the creator proof of purchase and get a temp download link to the updated asset. If I can do this I’ll try the update out and report back here asap.

Import them with the setting that it uses the frame1 as its bind pose option turned on and it should work fine

Maybe I’m missing this option? I see an option for frame 0 but not frame 1. Can you point that out? I tried importing a bunch of times on frame 0 option, on and off, update skel on and off… but got the same results as before see below screens. But even so, you’ll see more and more people asking for assets to match Epic’s baseline. My first VR project VR wasn’t really supported yet so there was no baseline. By the time I got to using these hands I ‘struggled’ with them to get them to fit “somewhat right”. It will never feel perfect having to offset it so much.

But here’s the thing, if someone spends a month or two building out a VR project on the cheap, with place holders and etc… using epics hands. Spending lots of time making their weapons fit the hand perfectly. It’s easy to create grip and shoot anims by mdifying the idle anim… etc… when they go… “Ok lets replace the robot hand with something cool.” and go to the market place and buy this.

1. It’s way off 0 so you already now have to rework all your stuff to accommodate new positions
2. None of the anims you made will work now… back to re doing a bunch of work
3. Even if I could import this to frame1 to get rid of the offset issue I mentioned… points 1 and 2 still apply. The orientation is completely different. My pick up and shot, snap to targets are all gonna be messed up. All the joints I used to attach my weapons wont exist. If only I could use your mesh on the base epic skeleton… I could save a TON of dev time REDOING tons of things.

Do what you want, but honestly you’re gonna find most will use the basic epic assets to start… and building from this means a lot of re-work later if purchased assets arent matching. If you want to fight that, feel free… I just think its not a good way to do it in a marketplace like this.
Hopefully this update comes soon. I’ll stick to the epic hand for now I suppose on the new projects until your update fixes it… or I can manually fix it myself.
