Asset Pipeline Tech
Project config, exporters, and rigging so Maya, Substance, and Unreal agree. Time goes to assets and gameplay.
One project-wide config for folder structure by asset category, tell it where textures, mesh, and animations should go. Bridge all of your project's exports with consistent naming conventions for pristine organization.
Assets land in the configured Unreal folder with the configured names.
Assign materials by mesh name without the scavenger hunt. Batch necessary tweaks before export.
Maya naming keeps Substance Painter layers and Unreal slots aligned, and exports to your project's templates.
Merge texture sets when the project wants it.
Destinations come from the config, so you don’t hunt for files.
Substance Designer searches the content folder by those names so lookdev iterates instead of hunting. The custom menu helps align conventions for existing character models and non-standard cases.
Build a skeleton from locators placed at the main joint axes, and an integer to dictate spin joint count. Set joint orientation via scripts and your project's settings for consistent results without excessive manual checks.
Actually it's a few clicks... but has configurations for standard engine skeletons, and works with any humanoid setup. Generate the control rig after assigning a schema, then use the controller adjusters to get any character moving in minutes.
Squash and stretch, FK/IK switching with smooth blending, SDK-driven controls, and translation-space switching. All the basics.
Generate an FK control set with adjustable settings, and change sizes and shapes with a custom tool designed for speed and accuracy. This rig has radial symmetry on joint orient for easy animation and intuitive curves in the graph editor.
Dynamic script launchers synced to the IDE for instant scripting iteration. Organize your scripts into folders, for both organization and instant iteration.
Generate locators from a designated format, tweak placement as necessary, and organize their hierarchy in a click. Dynamically generate controllers through your customized list of attributes such as emotions or visemes.
One click to apply Maya's HumanIK rig. Use the custom interface to adjust controller size in a jiff.
Same names drive one-click material instances on a mesh, Blueprint children, and consistent animation scenes from templates. A cohesive pipeline setup makes in-engine tooling much more viable.
