I know children are asked alot, but will there ever be body types other than male and female? Like a Giant/Monster type and a Child/Gnome/Dwarf type? Or one type that's resizable?
I assume the code to interact with the objects are built into the objects- but they don't have to sit on sofas. Walking, running, postures, gestures, being shot at, etc., would be fine. If I had a bigfoot (and a dog and raccoon), I could film one of my short stories. |

I wonder if any of the modders who have had time to work with the Moviestorm Skeletons they released to us have tried resizing them. That might work but then you would also have to make new wardrobes for them.

SHUDDER Not good...not good at all... I think the only way to do it would be to build an entirely new skeleton using the same names as the original skeletons. Even then, I'm dubious about the results. In all likelyhood an slight arm animation when scaled to the smaller skeleton would still be massive. It's a big job that only MS or a group of us with their help MIGHT MIGHT be able to pull off... C |

C I know what you mean about it being a lot of work Each of the children I created took a couple of days to do and they only have about 10 animations each and no change of clothes, except you can change the texture image to make the clothes look different. -------------------- |

There are only two skeletons. One male and one female. I'm sure you could change the size of them, but then, apart from breaking all the animations and probably a lot of the props, you would still have everyone the same size again. So why would you even try?
