Blending meshes for Character Creator?

jitensha

Hello!

I'm interested in building a character creator on Unity, and will be using Spine to create the animations. My end goal for this project is to be able to slide between masculine and feminine body types.

My idea for tackling this is to create 5-6 different 'key' bodies, and through transforming of the mesh, have them blend into one another seamlessly. Is this a viable option? I'm still rather new to Spine, so if I could do this, how would I go about setting this all up? I appreciate any tips or relatable tutorials you could point me to.

I'd also maybe like to make a separate slider for weight (any suggestions?) but I think I may be able to fake it by stretching meshes. Thank you for your help 🙂

What you want to do is rather complicated, especially if you plan to have very different looking body types.
You could do the weight thing rather easily by delegating some bones in crucial parts to be responsible for stretching the meshes or moving them around, but first, what will these characters do? will they turn around? will they stay in place? fight with each other?
what's the art style going to look like?

They will be flat 2D characters broken down for Spine animation. They will not turn around or fight or do anything too animated. They wont even walk, so we were hoping to reuse the same skeleton. I thought to prevent stretching I could add more points on the mesh for the outline of the character where stretching is more noticeable.

Thanks for your help!
