Revamped Free Characters
We have more gifts for you with two revamped models that were introduced in 2020.3 and made available in akeytsu Indie 2020 & 2021.
Akeyboy V2 got a considerable update. We've remodelled the character with a fresh and modern look. We have included low-resolution textures in our installation package to keep things light but PBR versions can be downloaded from our Free Characters page. Looking at the rig, we have reworked the position of joints and pivot orientations for the skeleton and reskinned everything for improved Move, Rotate and Scale transforms and added a basic facial rig that you can draw your inspiration from for your own cahracters. Taking advantage of Space Switching ie. Dynamic Parenting we have also updated animations with skateboard to show you how it should be done.
On the other hand Sky Surfer is getting new toys for Christmas and can now play with a skysurf and a gun. A Jump Trick sample animation is provided here too so that you can see how to correctly build an animation with a Space Switching layer. PBR textures are downloadable from our Free Characters page.
