Questions regarding distance and sensor operation

Hello!
I am currently following the “AdonisvFX2_tutorials_rigging_an_arm_asset” tutorial and am in the process of connecting the triceps to a sensor using a distance node.
It works fine at the original scale, but the setup fails when I repeat the same steps after increasing the size of the joints and muscles; is there a way to fix this? It stops working when I adjust it to the size of the character I intend to use.
Please excuse any awkward phrasing, as this was written using Google Translate.


Hello!

Yes, each setup usually requires some adjustment to the sensor ranges depending on the scale of the character.

We provide remapping functionality that lets you fine-tune the final activation and compensate for scale differences. For example, if you are using a Distance Sensor and your character is 2x larger than the original setup, you can use 2x the maximum distance as a starting point.

If you need to adjust multiple sensors, this can be automated with a script. Alternatively, you can use the Exporter/Importer workflow: export the setup as a .json file, apply the appropriate scale factor to the sensor input and output ranges by modifying the .json manually or using any tool of your choice, and then import the setup back into the scene.

You can find more information about adjusting and remapping sensor ranges in our documentation:

I hope this helps!
