Jonas, This is really a good one — one I've wished for for quite some time. For those of us without artistic talent, 3DS would make it possible to do things that looked quite like traditional cell animation if it had this feature. If Softimage (and others) can do this, then why not our favorite program? (Can you imagine what the demo reel would look like, what with Bones and Skin, if we could then reduce the frames to look like Disney?). I own LensFX and I'll certainly ask Aaron about this, but I'm not sure his routines correctly handle objects that cross themselves (like an arm in front of a body, for example). Maybe Gary could comment on whether this is even possible within the current structure of 3DS (of anyone I'm sure he knows how other programs accomplish this).
