Which program will you be using to do the animation? I have the first set of chatacters completed - the Builder faction. I guess you'll be able to use a lot of the same animations and slightly tweaked rig for all 5 of them, thjough they will all require soe of their own special anims. They all have the same hand models. Obviously you want to be animating one of them, storing the animation and then when you rig the others you can apply that animation. Not all apps let you do that very well.

We'l have to get an official list of animations drawn up, and you can be part of that process since you're obviosuly experienced.

YOu need acces to the modling and animation forum here though, we can continue the disscusion there.

Mods - if he hasn't got access there - GIVE IT TO HIM NOW!

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
