Hi There,

Would you please ensure that more rigorous testing is performed on the Marketplace Character assets in regards to retargeting? The last two assets I’ve bought (sum of which are priced at USD100+ worth, new-ish content from different artists) don’t retarget correctly. It looks like they were built on the old mannequin skeleton (where you get that wonky shoulder issue).

It might be fine for some low-fidelity third person projects, but you simply can’t use them in first person.

Example of a correctly set up skeleton: Works with another artist’s animations

Example of incorrectly set up skeletons:

First

Second

At the price points for some of these assets, I’d expect better from the Marketplace curators to ensure that the content is actually as good as advertised. Judging by the first bad example above, no retarget testing was performed whatsoever - eyeing it from afar just isn’t good enough for these types of assets.
