Today marks the start of the real work - Will shadow make it in as a recognizable avatar with functional new bones and facial rigging in tact. Today was a very long and boring day for multiple test and checks to see how and in what way the model should be manipulated in order to add new animal bones and keep the pre-made facial rigging intact while heavily modifying the humanoid model. What is desired is having to do the least amount of repositioning of already skinned assets, while added foreign bones and not disturbing the link between the facial expressions and the core original avatars skinned mesh state.

Its a tricky procedure and Shadow was WAY different from Bunnie as he has custom everything to deal with. In the end I was able to fine the appropriate way to export a customized version of his rig back into CC4, with the facial expressions mostly intact (minus the blink that always gets destroyed) and with the newly recognized spines bones needed to add some spring jiggle to all his animal parts. Next session I will try and add back the real deal intentional bones again and not waste more time now that I have seemingly found the most correct and non-invasive way to merge this stuff in and still keep the character model valid as a CC4 humanoid. Doing so means its eligible to still use body animations and facial puppeting over in iclone - without it Im totally out of luck if I wanna do a film solo lol.

If you are a CC4 user you may wanna follow this whole process just to keep up with some success stories, missteps and backtracks. There will be plenty of mistakes made I assure you, but the point is taking advantage of these pre-rigged humanoids, putting your own new bones and appendages on them and still retaining CC4s built in facial rigging if you are like me, a character modeler/texturer with no animation chops whatsoever. Come along for the journey, this mess is finna be wild!
