Maya - How to rig suspenders?
Hello polycount! I'm rigging a character in Maya and having trouble when it comes to the suspenders. Originally I just skinned them to the body bones and weight painted those as well as I could, but while it stretched and contracted nicely it would shear badly when twisting. I think the solution is to give the suspenders… -

Detecting Edges in Normal maps in the Unreal material editor

[CRITIQUE] Head sculpt and retopo
(I'm very new to Polycount, so if I'm posting this in the wrong place or something, let me know.) I've challenged myself to make a new head (almost) every day, sculpt, then materials or retopo or both if I have time.
