Character Height Adjust in CC5

Character Creator Bugs & Issues - CC5
1

Hello,

I’ve been trying to change the characters height using the Character Scale A slider which does change the characters height in the viewport but the info shows the same height as before so I have no idea what the actual height of the character is.

I used ActorMixer Pro to make the base mesh and have tried with the character isolated if that’s useful or relevant.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hi…

Adjusting the “Character Scale A” under Full Body is working fine when I tested it. You do have to let go of the mouse button when dragging the slider to see the height info update? Have you done this?

Also, to eliminate an issue with the custom character, try with one of the default characters or load a neutral base from the Modify Panel and see it works then.

I just tried again with a neutral base as well as a new ActorMixer base but unable to get the character below approximately 180cm?

I can reduce and bake multiple times till everything is reduced but the height info still displays that approximate value?

In the linked image below I used the Character Scale A to scale down the character 3 times and baked each time before the next, this is the result, as you can see it has “shrunk” but still displays the wrong height value?

Thanks for explaining more about the problem and that the issue is scaling down. Scaling up appears to be working fine. The issue also only appears to affect CC5 HD characters as CC3+ characters do not have this issue.

I would recommend reporting this issue in the Feedback Tracker. The tracker is your direct link to the dev team who will investigate the problem and give you a status update regarding a fix.

As a workaround you can start with a CC3+ character, scale down to get the correct size displayed, and then convert to a CC5 HD character by using the Subdivide controls on the Modify Panel.

Please Note: If you wish to scale down below 100cm you can use the down arrow at the right hand end of the Character Scale A slider. You don’t have to bake each time you reach 100cm.
