There are two main issues with visualization when it comes to adjustible meshes (the “body sliders”). The way that all of the customizable character data is stored isn’t actually a body at all, but a common default mesh with offsets for each adjustible value. The engine gives the thumbs up and the model with those values gets rendered.
