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.
