if Hurricane Michael don’t wash this out… the tail end of it is still hitting us 5+ hours southwest & looks like it’s heading toward Epic … mainly rain & high winds w/ chance for so-called ‘minor’ tornadoes!
so have to wait to see if they can do this stream or not !
Hello @amandambott, kalvothe and Adam Skutt.
Is it possible to give me an idea about the best approach to make a believable character for a VR experience in terms of numbers of polygons and shader complexity.
Thanks
Well of course this is fantastic, I was wondering… as the maps and textures are there… how does one implement using the “wrinkle” maps? I.E. How to blend the maps when a character says, squints and the forehead wrinkles and crows feet appear?
Is there an animation trigger in this Scene? Or do we just get to look at the static head?
