Decisions to make

What is in scope?

For RealityScan capture, define the asset, destination, and release condition before editing. Keep a clean source copy and state why joint-area topology is relevant to rig readiness.

What can block delivery?

For rig readiness in RealityScan capture, treat unresolved neutral pose as blocking. Decide whether it needs a technical fix, additional evidence, or a qualified reviewer.

What proves it is ready?

For rig readiness, require a representative result in RealityScan capture, the accepted export settings, and a clear outcome for rigid-part separation. Record who approved the final package.

Production notes

RealityScan capture is a starting point, not proof that an asset is production-ready. A rig readiness pass should distinguish generation artifacts from deliberate form before anyone spends time polishing the result.

For RealityScan capture, use a short representative clip to verify joint names, rest pose, frame range, root motion, and deformation. Preserve the source rig until rigid-part separation passes review.

Check edge flow around joints, neutral pose, separate rigid parts, naming, and expected deformation before rigging begins. Apply this rig readiness guidance to the actual RealityScan capture delivery path.

Practical answer

A useful result needs clear evidence: for RealityScan capture, begin with joint-area topology, then test neutral pose and rigid-part separation in the actual destination. Keep the accepted export settings and any unresolved rig readiness risks with the source file.

Preflight checklist

  • Before rig readiness, confirm that RealityScan capture is the actual source cleanup destination, not just an intermediate preview tool.
  • For RealityScan capture, keep an untouched source file for rig readiness and record the starting state of joint-area topology and neutral pose.
  • Verify rigid-part separation in RealityScan capture during rig readiness rather than assuming the editor preview is authoritative.
  • For RealityScan capture, save the approved export settings, fallback file, and owner of any remaining rig readiness work.

Recommended workflow

Inspect the source asset

Open the original file before making changes. For RealityScan capture, record its format, units, dependencies, and current joint-area topology so the rig readiness pass has a reliable baseline.

Check joint-area topology

During rig readiness for RealityScan capture, establish the expected state of joint-area topology. Resolve or document any gap before moving on to neutral pose.

Test in RealityScan capture

Do not rely on the authoring viewport alone. For rig readiness, load a representative export in RealityScan capture and verify neutral pose together with rigid-part separation.

Package the result

For RealityScan capture, keep the accepted export, its settings, and a short note about unresolved risks. Name the person responsible for the final review of rig readiness.

Common failure modes

Unexpected change: joint-area topology

During rig readiness, compare the source and destination values for joint-area topology. Do not continue until the difference is explained and assigned to the asset or the RealityScan capture pipeline.

Destination mismatch: neutral pose

For rig readiness, capture the RealityScan capture result and isolate the responsible layer. A clean authoring preview is not proof when the exported neutral pose result no longer matches the baseline.

No pass condition for rigid-part separation

Define an observable rig readiness result or move the decision to a qualified RealityScan capture reviewer. Do not hide an unresolved rigid-part separation risk behind a general “ready” status.

FAQ

How should I plan rig readiness for RealityScan capture?

For RealityScan capture, start with joint-area topology on the untouched source file. It gives you a baseline before the rig readiness pass changes geometry, materials, metadata, or export settings.

What should the RealityScan capture rig readiness checklist include?

During rig readiness for RealityScan capture, record the source format, units, texture locations, material slots, exporter, destination version, and observed neutral pose behavior.

Which joint-area topology requirements matter most?

The rig readiness pass is complete when joint-area topology, neutral pose, and rigid-part separation have been tested in RealityScan capture, the export opens correctly, and remaining review has an owner.

What happens when neutral pose does not pass review in RealityScan capture?

For RealityScan capture, use a qualified reviewer during rig readiness when rigid-part separation cannot be verified automatically or when licensing, device, marketplace, or domain rules affect approval.
