Creating Poses in Blender 2.8/2.9/3.0 - Rigs & Compatibility Tips for S4S
🔔 Update as of October 4th 2022: Sims 4 Studio released a new beta version and now supports the Blender version 3.3. Therefore, the info below concerning S4S is obsolete, but some tips might be still useful, if you need to switch between different Blender versions or maybe you like to use the prepared rigs I shared below. Leaving the post up here, just in case.
In our Pose Makers server I notice more and more questions about working in newer Blender versions and how to make poses/animations created in the newer Blender versions compatible for S4S, which until now, only supports the 2.7 series.
Some people would like to use the new features and the more modern & convenient interface. Some people are struggling to get the old 2.7 series to work on their computers.
And since I am sort of in the process of moving to Blender 3.0 (from 2.7) myself, I decided to write down what I understand to be the options, hoping that this will be helpful to someone out there and so that I can refer to this post in the future. Feedback is also welcome, and I will add more info if I learn more.
For convenience, I also re-enabled the textures on the S4S rigs for Blender 2.8/2.9/3.0 and share the prepared rigs below.
