Stop wasting time on technical setup. Start creating beautiful animations today.
For characters outside the common rigs you listed, how well does the auto-mapping actually hold up? Asking because half my library is custom rigs from various Gumroad packs and manual remapping always eats my evening.
How well does it handle custom rigs that aren't standard Mixamo or SMPL setups? My characters often have unique bone hierarchies, so I'm curious how much manual tweaking is actually needed.
Dragged in an SMPL-X file from a quick test capture and it just worked on my character without me touching a single bone. Honestly impressed by how fast the retargeting happens.
Retargeted a VRoid model in under a minute without touching bone mappings, super smooth. Huge time saver for anyone juggling animation pipelines.
