ACCURATE RIGGING WITH FLEXIBLE REFINEMENT

Flexible Joint Refinement

By manually defining joints, rigging can be customized to match models with different characteristics and preserve distinct body shapes. The skin-weight is highly optimized for all limbs, including shoulders, elbows, knees, and individual finger bones. Online Manual >

Adjustable Shoulders

Arm and collar bones can be adjusted to emphasize different shoulder types — from broad to narrow, raised to sloped, all forms are possible.

Posture Correction

Adjustable arm and collar positioning can help you align the shoulders for proper form and accentuate the shoulder line.

Accessorizing

Skin weights can be optimized to prevent distortions in the face and accommodate different types of accessories.

Protruding Necks

Represent any creature or monster with a hulking form or a hunched posture by simply aligning the jaw line parallel to the neck joint.

Finger Articulation

Fine-tune finger joints for natural movement, position the thumb joint strategically to prevent split purlicue, and adjust its rotation axis for optimal movement.

Biodiverse Hands

Vary the number of fingers and finger joints to create any life form imaginable — a must-have for character artists hoping to explore different creature designs.

Pose Offset

Effectively address posture issues, including the appropriate positioning of arms and legs, when applying animation data to characters of diverse body sizes. Utilizing pose offsets can enhance the creation of stylized performances, particularly for cartoonish figures. Streamline the process of updating offsets within ActorCore, and seamlessly download and retarget customized animations to suit your rigged characters. Online Manual >

Posture Correction

Body parts such as the neck, shoulder, and spine can be realigned to correct skewed and unnatural movements. ActorCore makes it easy to fine-tune joint angles and rotations, allowing poses and movement to unfold naturally.

Arm Position Correction

ActorCore supports characters of all shapes and sizes. With adjustable shoulders and arms, characters with thick limbs and torsos can also avoid mesh penetrations when premade motions are applied.

From Generic Pose to Dramatized Performances

With simple adjustments to the joint offsets, you can enhance the performances of any stylized character.
