Creating a model, restrictions

Creating character's 3D model and texture to it is not the subject of stated below.

There is enough information on the principles of creating a character in the Internet, we will get you acquainted with the restrictions and limitations of our engine.

Restrictions

• The character must be in the center of coordinate system (see example from SDK)
• Character's height must be within 1.6 – 2 meters (as in the real life)

• There are no limitations for the number of triangles, but it's recommended to limit the number of triangles to 5000 for the solid and stable game functioning.
• Character's 3D model mustn't contain bugs in geometry, texture stretches and long thin triangles (see fixing bugs for more information).
• The engine supports texture's flip reverse.

• The model must have UV coordinates, XRay Shader and smoothing groups.
• Nullify all model transformations and delete history before binding it to the skeleton.
• The model must contain one or more XRay Shader with the parameters indicated below, it's permitted using transparency, gloss and self-lights. Please see the description of available shaders in "Creating a scene in Maya" section.

Creating and adjusting skeleton, skinning, restrictions

• In order to use animations from the game library, it's necessary to use the skeleton from SDK without changing anything

• Joints mustn't contain scale, rotate, transform before binding to 3D model
• 3D model must be bound to the skeleton with the use of Smooth Bind
• There must be not more that 4 joints per one vertex

Animation

• There are no restrictions for the animation.
• All animations can be stored in one file with character's model.
