Stephen, Thanks for bringing up Humanoid here. >>Humanoid has been in release in LW format for a long time now (2-3 years?).<< Not for PC, just for the Amiga. The files have to be reworked a little for 4.0 PC users, because Win32 users still have to deal with 8 character file names. >>They are, however, working on a (plug-in?) that will increase the functionality of their already impressive models. If I were to guess (since that's all I can do right now), I'd imagine that the potential plug-in will work with the new inverse kinematic features of LW, allowing scenes to be generated automatically based on user input.<< Good guesses. Although our software will be not be a “plug-in'' in the most strict sense of the word, it is possible they'll support IK, and they'll be offered on CD-ROM. -Tim
