Main article: CTA Asset Creation.

Size Comparison

Scale Problems

Make sure that the size of the characters are within the normal range. Typically, this means that an adult character is about 2 squares tall. The size of your character can be determined by its role and type but try not to deviate too much from the norm.

Characters can seem like giants if their heights exceed 2 squares.

Scale Adjustments

Steps:

  1. Enter the Composer and click on Edit Pose.
  2. Select the character's hip and resize the character accordingly.

Check the Position

After scaling the entire character make sure:

  • The bottom of the feet is placed on the red floor line.
  • The center of the character is aligned to the blue symmetry line.

Default Positioning

Frontal Positioning in the Composer

Make sure the bottom of the feet are touching the top of the red line. Make sure the character is centered on the blue line.

Side Positioning in the Composer

The bottom of the right foot should be on top of the red line while the entire character should be centered on the blue line.

Skeletal Structure

The basic skeleton structure.

Limitations

The skeleton can stretch and shrink to accommodate the proportions of the character's limbs. This applies to legs, hands, neck, etc... but the bone angles should not be adjusted.

  • ✔ Right: Symmetrical and correctly aligned.
  • ✘ Wrong: The wrist should not be pre-angled.
  • ✘ Wrong: The knees should not be pre-angled.
  • ✘ Wrong: The ankles should not be pre-angled.


  • ✘ Wrong: Undesirable bending are highlighted in red.
  • ✔ Right: Make sure the bones are aligned.

Joint Rotations

The bone joint should be located at the junction between adjoining images of limbs.
