Creating Custom Templates Again Part 3-The file

Now, Eventually, I will get to writing some more of this. Not like last time where I withered away and never finished it. No, I plan on it this time. To show how serious I am(hopefully), here's the file I intend on using for this series.

When you open this file, you will see a semi functioning rig. I say semi, because it's purposely broken up a bit into component chunks. There's a Root_component, and a Spine_component. I've taken to grouping my components in this way. It kind of seems to just make it clear that everything pertaining to this component exists here. Seems like it'd be a bit easier for debugging purposes. 

Nice and tidy!

The next part of this we will go through the root component setup. It will be pretty easy as there is not much to it. But it's more useful to see setting up components that will insert into other components. So adding the root component gives us a way to do that and learn some stuff along the way. 

That is all for this post. It's late, but I wanted to get this out there to keep this tutorial fresh in my mind and to keep the momentum going.

Creating a Custom Template Again Part 6-Let's be a chiropractor and get adjusting Part 1

    Picking up from where we left off, we have a spine component that builds and places everything where it needs to go. This is terrific. Now, we get into some of the meat and potatoes of making our components/templates. Adjustments! After all, the biggest perk of creating your own template is the ability to resize it easily and intuitively to any character. Let's make it so!

The VID

I thought I ought to jot down some stuff during this once in a lifetime experience known as Covid-19, or corona virus, or some other shit if you're a racist ass hole. This has been my experience: I have been able to work from home once a week for years. Work has been cool about that. I usually do so on Thursdays. So all February I had been reading headlines regarding this corona virus that was apparently decimating China. I didn't do much research or anything because it was miles away, right?
