Files & Asset Structure

General Recommendations

• Use consistent naming conventions for:
  • FBX files
• Avoid:
  • Namespaces
  • Special characters in file or node names (e.g., accents, symbols, non-ASCII characters)
• Supported content includes:
  • Bone-based rigs
• Set a consistent scene axis orientation (Y-up or Z-up) to match your project and template.
• Ensure all animation files use the same FPS setting.
  • Any value between 15 and 60 FPS is supported.
  • Low FPS values may produce visual artifacts.

Animation Guidelines

Best Practices for Animation

• Always use the same bone deformation rig as the template.
• For game animation, use looping animations with seamless transitions between the start and end frames.
• If you are using a control rig in a DCC application, follow these steps:
  • Animate using the control rig.
  • Bake the animation onto the deformation bone structure.
  • Delete the control rig and geometry before exporting the animation.

⚠️ Note: Scaled animations may cause artifacts if the control rig is not properly set up. For example, in Maya, enabling “Segment Scale Compensation” on joints can introduce issues.
