When you are finished you should be able to: • Understand how geocaching works on deformed geometry. • Create a geometry cache from an animated character. • Identify do's and don't's for editing geometry after geocaching. • Create skin clothing by extruding animated geometry cached polygons. Here you go! Related links: area.autodesk.com  |
