Absolutely great Characters , I like that style very much ! 👍

Charly is right , looks amazing.
Pioneer Toy , is that offset happening when simulation is ticked when playing sequencer?
If yes , it could be "physics" or "collision" , cause it will only be activated when rendering or simulation is ticked.
?

Think I bit off a bit more than I can chew, spent the last two weeks putting some non-meta characters together for the contest, stylized as that's my thing.

It's part of a bigger project with a short for Unreal, nearly finished Mother and Daughter characters. Mother is from a Daz base mesh with some Zbrush mods, and the daughter is my own model using Zbrush with CC base. Anim tests next week. The scene is set in Downtown NY, and the lipsync part will be in a seedy Diner late at night, overall short will be about 2 minutes. Wrote the script a while ago so thought I would use it and try the replica plugin with it for voices. God knows why I'm doing this. 

The hair is placeholders and will be grooms in Unreal. Let me know if you guys see any obvious character flaws.

Excuse me Toy, I was not concentrated to your problem because I'm so amazed seeing this fluids movements on this great character and with a incredible camera movements, so did you say ?....:D

Now, we are waiting for a certain sicario to give you a idea :)


     

Hm, I have a strange problem...
I used this:
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/dystopia-mech-and-pilot

As there are several single parts; head,... to create character,



I did this to get a functional actor with body and head:


Result is a ThirdPersonCharacter...

To get the built in animation working, I had to do slightly transforms of the character on timeline:



Not sure if it is related to beeing a ThirdPersonCharacter
but in Render those transforms seem to be missing...

Here is viewport screen capture:



And here is Render:



So, character is clearly on different position as seen in viewport...
WHY??
Any thoughts?
Is there another way to create a character out of these parts (head/body/armor)?

As car only records correct with sequence recorder and there is no such option in SR I will skip that here.
Found it in Take Recoder.
Thanx! :kiss:
