Plate Armor Tier 1-3 High poly update wip. (Final armor set before the RPG starter 3 pre-order goes on the site)

 

What's the poly count for the Male and Female base avatars for UMA?

 

Default Male with low poly head is: 6,612 plain

Default female low poly head is 6,932 plain

Male base 2.0 is 15,274 (with underwear)

Fem base 2.0 is 19,409 (With underwear and hair)

Thanks for that. Do the male and female bases come without underwear, or is it built in to the textures?

 

M/F 2.0 is separate from the base mesh. Default UMA is an overlay.

 

Willb what kind of update have you thought for hair pack? Are you going to use some other shader + make those more detailed etc?

 

Similar to the current fem base 2.0 hair. Updated to alpha planes. No particular shader in mind. Will probably end up using Secret Anorak's double sided soft edge.

 

Have you compared Secret Anorak's shader to the genesis hair shader? http://standsurestudio.com/genesishair/

 

Thanks, just noticed I have forgotten to buy Fem base 2.0 , can't wait that shirt pack 2 to hit Asset Store

 

New hair packs? That is exactly what I need. I'd even like to see hair with bone so we can make it move with IK chaining.

 

New hair packs would be great! (Luke - the "boneytail" in 2.7 has bones and is setup with joints if you want to look at how I set one up).

 

Is this the hair shader that comes with UMA? (HairFadeCutout)

 

I'm not sure which one was included with the latest updates. I'll be looking into that once the hairs are started.

 

Greetings.

Having been a user of Morph3d, I am switching to UMA2. As a result, I am really new, but reading as much as I can.

As my first really silly question... Lets say I bought the RPG pack with multiple outfits both Male and Female. Theres a lot of codes such as MB1 (Male base 1?) etc.. but simply put.. will this be 100% compatable with UMA 2 as it stands and does it use the Basic Chars, the DCS chars or come with it's own chars?

Sorry for such a basic question, but as I say, I am learning.. hopefully pretty quickly.

Another Morph3D to UMA convert here,
WillB's packs are all compatible with the base UMA meshes or Slots. It is a very good system, and you can tailor the code to suit your needs. DCS is built on top of the core UMA code to provide easier methods of doing things, especially in the editor. It wasn't to my tastes, so I removed it - but that is the joy of UMA. It is so customisable.

Every one of your gripes with Morph3D is fixed with UMA. It even has poly removal tools so you can paint out poke-through.

 

OK thanks.
I was asking because I followed a video to add UMA into Inventory pro by Secret Anorak which went fine, but noticed that it only worked on DCS and normal chars not the high poly ones.

I think I have since worked out that it's the recipies that were setup that way and that you would need to substitute recipies that worked on high poly chars, but wanted to be sure and confirm that these great outfits from willB worked in base UMA or with UMA DCS as setup in the recipies (or with his own character base).

I have to be honest, working with Morph3d was just such a fight, every time I tried to do something, it fell over somewhere, whereas so far.. the UMA has been a lot easier to work with.

My next job will be to find out what character controller works best for melee with UMA.. unless anyone has any suggestions, I'll prolly try ootii first with the MC, Swords and Magic packs.

Yep. Recipes are the basis for the Race data for DCS. Contains the basic base mesh parts and underwear. If your using DCS it would swap out the base mesh parts for whatever part it replaces ie. Torso swap. Wardrobe recipes are available on the site.

All of the armor/outfits are compatible with the default UMA base and the Male base 2.0 and Fem base 2.0 bases:

http://willbgameart.com/product/uma-m_base-strong-2/

Your best bet would be to ask on SLACK about controllers. That's where most of the UMA devs and users hang out. If you send your email to: will@willbgameart.com I'll add you.

 

Ootii's Motion Controller should be pretty much plug in and play, but go about it in small sequential steps, like hooking it up to a normal character and testing before hooking it up to an UMA.

Remember that virtually every issue UMA has integrating with other plugins is that it procedurally creates the character.

 

MB1 is not UMA, but a different set of characters/clothing made by Will. Some of these he converted to UMA, hence you may see them in the name. Just make sure you get the ones for UMA. If UMA is not included in the name, it is not for UMA.

 

OK thanks.. getting the hang of this.. so this pack .. https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/uma-rpg-starter-pack-45732 will work with either will's chars or UMA 2 chars and on UMA with or without DCS both male and female if I understand all this correctly.

M

 

You understand correctly - the RPG starter pack works with the UMA2 characters, and the new Characters from Will. And they work with both DCS and without.

 

I should rephrase the question. I am currently testing hair shaders, where can I get the Secret Anorak's double sided soft edge hair shader?

 

It's in UMA 2.6+ - UMA/Hair Fade Cutout

 

OMG shirt pack 2 is online!!!!

Plate Tier 1-3:

 

Very Nice!

 

Yes please! That looks great.

 

Absolutely lovely. Especially the overlaying pieces, so it's really a whole range of clothing options. Outstanding.

 

@justb Your work is amazing. BUT Only 2 critisizms. Hoods (Leather, Cloth) are looking kind of bizzare with back of the head sticking out, and leather is slapped to head, just a tought...

Other one is Cleric armor, Female one is awesome but lower part of male one is lookin dull, female version have robe and all other interesting things but male one is just standing there with tights..

Thanks for your work they are #1 UMA Armor Packs.

Putting the final tweaks on Plate Tier 1-3. Should be finalized next weekend.
