The import tool also selects the highest resolution mesh as being activated by default.īy editing this file you might choose another poly level (they are "hipoly", "midpoly", "lowpoly" and "ultralowpoly") Or you could choose not to import by changing OnPreprocessMeshHierarchy.
The material mode "Fade" goes to full transparent. Second Unity's transparent materials still show specular highlights and thus hair looks like glass sheets. Max materials assume that diffuse material was set by the texture, whereas Unity multiplies the texture colour with the flat colour. This will fix the import of the 3dsMax materials to Unity. The FixRocketboxMaxImport.cs script under “Assets/Editor” needs to go in “Assets/Editor” in the Unity project.

If you are using this library for research you should consider citing it. This release goes together with a paper that highlights and documents the creation of the library and reviews the research done with rigged avatars as well as explains the importance of having rigged avatars for Virtual Reality. The announcement about the release here> Ever since their launch, laboratories around the globe have been using the library and many of the lead authors in the VR community have extensively used these avatars during their research. The diversity of the characters and the quality of the rigging together with a relatively low-poly meshes, makes this library the go-to asset among research laboratories worldwide from crowd simulation to real-time avatar embodiment and social Virtual Reality (VR). The Microsoft Rocketbox Avatar library consists of 115 characters and avatars fully rigged and with high definition that was developed over the course of 10 years.
