[Brainstorm] Jewelry Placement & Scaling Fix

Project Brainstorming: Jewelry Placement & Scaling Fix

Objective

Develop a replacement script to properly place all available jewelry on both female and male characters, ensuring accurate positioning and scaling.

Key Considerations

  • Model Compatibility: Ensure jewelry items fit appropriately on both male and female models.
  • Scaling Adjustments: Adjust jewelry scaling dynamically to prevent clipping or floating.
  • Bone Attachments: Verify proper attachment points to avoid misalignment.
  • LOD & Distance Rendering: Confirm that jewelry maintains proper rendering at different distances.
  • Compatibility with Clothing: Test how jewelry interacts with various clothing items (hats, coats, etc.).
  • Performance Impact: Optimize placement logic to avoid unnecessary server/client load.

Development Steps

  1. Identify Current Issues: List jewelry items with improper placement/scaling.
  2. Map Attachment Points: Determine correct bones for placement (e.g., hands, neck, ears).
  3. Implement Scaling Fixes: Adjust per model type and gender.
  4. Testing & Debugging: Verify placements in various scenarios (standing, sitting, aiming).
  5. Finalize & Deploy: Ensure compatibility across player models before pushing live.

Potential Challenges

  • Variations in head/hand sizes between models.
  • Unexpected clipping with certain animations or clothing items.
  • Ensuring jewelry remains visible and correctly placed in all LOD states.

Next Steps

  • Gather a list of affected jewelry items.
  • Test initial placement adjustments.
  • Begin scripting corrections and optimizations.
