Given that my visual storytelling is 95% comprised of the male characters and male Sole Survivor in the game, I was frustrated by lack of support for the male figure when making and importing my own poses, and while most poses work for both sexes, not all of them do, and I wanted a proper reference. Unfortunately, there weren't any, so I decided to do something about it.
I'm not very proficient with 3DS Max, but after a whole lot of swearing and trial and error, I was finally able to take the female CAT model from the FO4Biped Animation Rig by MaikCG and import the MaleBody, MaleHead, and MaleHands NIF wireframes from the game over the IK rig.
This is for strictly for animating and posing in 3DS Max with the intent of importing .hvk files into the game for custom animations and poses.
- This is the .max file Character Animation Toolkit (CAT) MALE form with full IK rigging.
- It does not include any other models, textures, biped, Havok files, animations, poses, instructions, or tutorials.
- I do not plan to release any other 3DS Max tools, animation tools, or tutorials. You have to set that all up on your own from the FO4Biped Animation Rig.
- I'm not great with 3DS Max. Everything I've learned has been from watching tutorials by DaveTheDrunk and other key Fallout 4 modders I found on YouTube. If you ask me questions about how to do something in 3DS Max, importing, exporting, animating, or Havok, I will probably not know the answer. You can ask, but I can't guarantee I can help. I may be able to point you to some resources, though.
I made this as a tool for myself because I couldn't find anything else out there, and I thought I would share this with all the other beginner modders, creators, and other storytellers out there who were also frustrated by the lack of tools for male figures. Hope it helps!
