    Wow... You just blew my mind with this. I used to think the Corrective baker was broken in the voxel heat addon. Separating the deformation bones only really adds 5 minutes but saves hours of weight painting, so it's completely worth it. Many thanks, brother

    Man amazing tutorial as usual. I noticed that whenever I have challenge with skinning your channel is first thing Im checking on 🐒. I tried to test this approach and results with with simple cloth were impressive. But what i noticed is that Repeat values higher than 9 makes sleeve area less "sensible" to armature and arm goes out of the cloth boundary. Additionally small details like little cloth pieces shrinks with corrective smooth. Hope to be wrong though

    Hey, thank you for the tut!! One question please : is it possibloe to sculpt corrective shapes on top of the corrective smooth modifier? In my case when I want to scuylpt the shape key it neutralizes the corrective smooth bakeer and the mesh looks like at the begining

    • @CGDive

      Yeah, corrective smooth smooths out shapekeys. One solution is to use the Vertex Weight feature of the modifier to make it not effect certain parts of the mesh such as the parts affected by the corrective shapekey.

  • @xxyychannel
    @xxyychannel Рік тому

    A pretty thorough presentation to the addon, thank you!
    To use the baker, is it necessary to join all the meshes(such as clothes, hair pieces, face, or parts that are already deformed well) into one piece? For example, the connection between the face/head mesh and the neck of the body mesh is fine, but the root area of the neck and shoulders has bad deformation; is it recommended to join the head to body first and then bake?
    Will there be a difference between baking each separated mesh once and baking one joint mesh once?

    • @CGDive
      @CGDive  Рік тому

      I think it's best to bake all at once. I still have to test this but I don't think you have to join all meshes.
      I think you need:
      -all meshes that will be baked are bound to the armature
      -all meshes that will be baked have an active Smooth Corrective modifier
      -all meshes that will be baked are selected and their armature is also selected
      Although having a single mesh is simpler for sure :)

    For whatever reason, every time I try this it ends up completely breaking my face rig weights. I've tried parenting the bones to the head, not parenting them, deleting them, even locking them; I always end up with distorted face weights. It's not the end of the world; I just select the bones and go into Weight Paint Mode and Assign Automatic From Selected Bones, but I feel like I must be doing something wrong. Plus, I have to go back and re-fix all the inner mouth, teeth, and tongue weights all over again. Would be nice if there were a way to exclude the face rig entirely.

    Fantastic, does this work with complex rigs? Its something similar to a bipedal humanoid, no arms and long neck with teeth, im having trouble rigging it the bones twist, and then doing it manually the Ik dont behave because it's complex and will move it out of the mesh and its a pain forcing it back, being horribly twisted. Im redoing it with some extra caution but anything would be helpful. It would be helpful to be able to do this for animating attacks.

      If the ARP algo does the work, then you don't need anything else. Only buy stuff you need.
      As for Cascadeur, it has features that Blender doesn't. So in Blender, just use your sense of motion to make the animation grounded.

    Thanks for your great videos. So first apply Voxel Heat and then Corrective Smooth Baker, right? It works but causes some problems: When I move the character's fingers, small parts on the character's shoes move! :D
    It has slightly extended the vertice group of fingers to the shoes.
    Also the vertice group of the hands and the head have parts at the shoes!
    Of course, this makes no sense and had to be corrected manually.
    I don't know if this is important but my character does not consist of a single mesh but of several meshes that I select.

There is a Corrective Shape Keys addon that comes included with Blender; you just need to activate it from your Preferences. It's a bit of a convoluted workflow, but I've been able to save CorrectiveSmooth modifier results as Shape Keys using the addon. Very useful for making corrective shape keys!

    In fact, It is not baked. It is just an improvement of Voxel Heart. If you try to bind the cylinder to bone with Corrective Smooth and then bake, it doesn't working like Corrective Smooth. it's not bake, it's improvement of Voxel Heart. I recorded a video for your reference. ua-cam.com/video/ucGEe287H7U/v-deo.html
    This is not suitable for use in games as it will result in messy weighting. When you apply it to a game with only 4 bones, you will encounter errors.
