Ditching Geometry Caches for Maya-to-Unreal Lattice Rigs

tokestuartjepsen

Wanted to drop a quick pipeline piece we did solving a data-bloat problem. We needed a reusable, highly deformed eye rig setup for a stylized project, but relying on geometry caching to bake out the lattice deformations was killing our data foot print.

We’ve shared a quick, high-level teaser of the rig over on LinkedIn if you want to see the visual results:

For those who want to see the actual node structures and step-by-step pipeline bridge, we recorded a full breakdown video:
