Description
Hi fellows Unreal Engine BLENDER Character Creator 3 lovers <3
Welcome in my Soft Body Course wich i lead you from CC3 to Blender then to UE 5 to get nicely and beauty rly soft bodys of your beautiful Character Creator 3 chars. I can ensure You its not diffucult you may think like that but its not , its just only 4.5 hours with english subtitles ofcourse :). This is my very first course but i did my best. If you will find any problems bugs or something like this please send my messege on my email account. Be patient in each video , if you dont understand everything just step back and try again. Be absolutely carefully when you naming bones, vertex groups in Blender, and later when you are going to naming physcial bodys in Unreal Engine, this is really super important, if You do mistakes in giving names for your bones nothing gonna work correct. I suggest doing many save doing backups, after each part you can even do a different files its your choice, but when you have more backups its easier to back when your files is damaged or broken. Remeber in Blender we are doing just Base for Physical Bodys in Unreal Engine, Unreal Engine physics its working a bit different than Blender. But its allways the same point , to make realistic movment of human body parts.
Enjoy!
