Pff. I wish I had the will to use sfm and be a tryhard.

Free to see it. But factually incorrect.

Yeah, but it is accurate and it\’s no different than what I used in the past. Stuff I made on 2.0 shows that the body gains size over the head rapidly once gear is put on top.

What matters is the technology and research put into it and they are a hell of a lot more qualified than you or I on human anatomy.

I\’m more inclined to believe the multimillion dollar company (with groundbreaking technology in creating realistic human models in digital form) on what is sized right than the perspective of the human eye just looking at an image.
Of course I am not using real human images for body references because orthographic imaging cannot be done so precisely in real life. That and using real human references for bodies could just get weird.
I didn\’t use some cartoony Pixar style human model generator, I used a realistic one. I have looked at it long enough to see it\’s pretty accurate.

The head is exactly to size, I put each limb together based on a extremely high quality models of human anatomy using UE5s Metahuman. I port the model to Blender, render orthographic shots of the models side by side, sized perfectly with each other, Each limb is exactly correct in proportion to real life. The thing that might make the head seem large is the fact it is a silhouette so certain depth is missing where you might be expecting it. Some stuff like that I can add, some of it I cannot. I do my best.

Facial details all pay off for those characters that don\’t have helmets. There is 3 so far with their faces exposed and they look pretty decent. If I picked and chose each detail to put into the base, I would lose all flexibility. The base needs to be flexible for given situations cinematically. Characters may not always have their face covered. Characters won\’t always be holding the guns on screen. Characters when they speak expose details in the mouth. If they weren\’t there, we would have a problem with consistency and quality. Not all characters are made the same, that\’s why I put to much in the base. It give everyone something to work with and sets a standard.

Well no. I\’ve had to bend limbs, make sure they all look correct in how they bend and they do in fact work for the most part. Just like the last version of the PL base but a lot more polish. Size between the genders by default is 1:1 which makes sizing much easier once stuff actually has to be animated. Still got a pile to add though. Just getting basic shapes down for the basic bodies. Then I move beyond that and add basic clothing and all that.

I like the angles and all that being messed around. Theres some clear problems with scaling where the magazine looks massive. The movement is solid though. I like the potential in it. A little choppy in some places but already pretty good.
Lastly the racking the bolt from the front of the mag is painful to see. It should be from under since the range of the arm is only so far.

Current way to dodge that, just move the character into a movieclip and the layering disappears.
