 +Classical full body game rig. Skin weights up to the torso.
 +Corrective blendshapes for the hands and the back.
  
 +==Head Rig==
 +Combination of Joint hierarchy and over 200 Blendshapes.

-=== Shading ===+Non-deforming body parts like the gum don't have an optimized topology. 
 + 
 +All the hair consists of cards. Hair is exported as a separated object and is not part of the head mesh. It's attachment to the deforming mesh happens in Unity.

 +
 +The Unity Team developed a set of very useful tools to attach elements to a deforming mesh in realtime. You can implement those tools in your own project by getting them [[https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.demoteam.digital-human| here]]. 
 +
 +First an empty dataset is created in the Assets Window. (right click -> Digital Human -> skin attachment data )
 +
 +Then in the outliner you select the object you want to have attached to the deforming mesh.
 +Add a 'Skin Attachment Target'-Script to it's Inspector and specify the dataset you just added.
 +
 +Select the mesh driving the deformation, add a 'Skin Attachment'-Script to its inspector and specify the targets. (This only works if you insert the script after the 'Skinned Mesh Renderer'/'Mesh Renderer' )
 +
 +Go back to the inspector of the target and fill in the dataset with the required mesh information. 
 +
 +As for now these tools only work with meshes being deformed by the GPU.

 +The skin and eyes are using a dedicated shader connected to a set of dedicated scripts.
  
-===== VR =====+The eyes can easily be customized to fit the needs of the required reference model.  
  
-  * 2019 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYsaAOOl6FQ|AYAHUASCA]] +We're still looking into the skin shader, particularly the system they applied to blend 82 different textures based on the faceshape.
