Maya to Unreal Lattice Workflow! We recently got some time to evaluate our Autodesk Maya to Unreal Engine workflows with a focus on how to transfer geometry deformed by lattices. Our show Tiny Buds features characters with large expressive eyes, combining that with a small team meant we had to look at reusable eye rigs. This resulted in using lattices to deform the eyes for each character while maintaining the animation requirements. During production we resorted to using geometry caching to meet the show deadline, which leaves a heavy data foot print. With help from Media Cymru we could look more deeply at the problem, which lead us to our Maya to Unreal workflow and would like to share our findings with others facing the same production issue.
