This thread does have me curious about something. Are we talking about skin swaps using too much memory? Or the cpu performance? Both? I got this character with lots of skin swap parts. We spam it in unreal engine to stress test. Like hundreds of characters... I notice that the performance (frames ...

Yes but wat I am saying like other people, is that this is still buggy and not working at all. Process: 1) click shrink Atlas 2) when asking to remesh click OK ---> Most of Meshes (these mantain the previous names) are generated in wrong way, overlapped, plus in empty aereas several brand new and wr...

As I said, like other people, If I click ok to remesh instead of Cancel, it creates new wrong meshes named "TextureMesh32" besides my original meshes (overlapping on them) destroying the rig. Instead we would like to preserve everything when we shrink and repack an atlas...

Hello, After packing the meshes need to be remeshed in order for them to be synced up with the new locations on the atlas. Sorry but you will need to remesh, give that a go. In that way I destroy all my rig... so what is the advantage of adjusting the atlas if in any case all the rig information wi...

I have this terrible bug too... Repack atlas doesn't work...
I shrink the atlas, i click cancel on remeshing, and all meshes do not line up... why? how can we fix this? thank you

Enlarge/Shrink Atlas Function Added feature to Enlarge/Shrink character atlas without changing rig meshes. In Mesh Mode, Import -> Repack/Enlarge/Shrink Atlas Texture -> Pick Just Resize Atlas, No Packing This feature does not work correctly (at least for me anyways). It tries to give things too ma...

Where is the doc where you explain how to use it? You wrote 3 years ago you would have updated the documentation. Has been or updated or not? Could you provide any link ?

Hello, Yes and this depends on the runtime. In Unity you can use the CreatureSwitchItemRenderer to do swapping of images at runtime: http://www.kestrelmoon.com/creaturedocs/Game_Engine_Runtimes_And_Integration/Unity_Runtimes.html In UE4, the feature exists but is currently disabled since we just sw...

Which is why the best option ( and correct option ) is UV swapping to another part of the texture. "UV swapping to another part of the texture" DOING THIS MEANS: EITHER------> MEANS that this texture is inside the same atlas of the charcter body and THIS IS NOT FEASIBLE AND SCALABLE BECAUSE of memo...

Regarding the First Option: That is not as intuitive as you describe.. It Tried this. In order to do that we need to create two submeshes, one with a material containg the charcter body atlas, and another submesh with a material holding the weapon atlas! Is a bit hard to me to manage this, I believe...
