Nightly Build standard pose

[3DNewb]

Hey all,

I love the nightly build, but I'm have trouble changing the pose of the model to the standard "T" pose that is default in Alpha 7 from the slightly crouching pose that is standard in the nightly build. When I try to switch to the "standard" pose out of the options, it remains the same. Any thoughts?

Attached is the default nightly build pose I'm referring to, which I would like to change to the T pose.

Thanks!

The mesh bind pose is the A-pose you see in that image. Which means that the mesh was modeled in this pose and consequently bound to a skeleton in that same pose.

It's possible to make the human pose in T-stance if you export a rigged character (not OBJ format but something like MHX, DAE or FBX) and reverse-pose the bones to get it in T stance.

It's possible that there is a feature in the blender scripts to move the character in T-pose, Thomas might know more. I know that the Mocap scripts retarget BVH files to the rig by first correcting the rig pose so that it matches a T rest pose, and then apply the rotations of the captured motions. So the data is already present there, I believe in the .src or .trg rig mapping files.

We will also add a static T-pose later, so it will be very easy to convert it.

Yes indeed, that would be a very cool feature.
We probably can do both. Convert the static geometry to a T-pose and export it to a static mesh format, and convert the rest pose of the skeleton to the posed one, and export a T-posed mesh to rigged formats as well.

I'd also like a T pose. It's confusing that some of the MH documentation says that T Pose is standard.

Most of the documentation is outdated and needs rewriting.
