>>>First of all this has been a great thread and I'm lovin' it….
Steve,
Now that we have your attention, I have one idea for the next AM and a
question. (Sorry can't change the name of the tread with my WinCis).
>>>>>>>(Two guys can be a *single* "actor" — it is easier for making them
interact)…
1) Idea: It is a pain to make a "double-single" actor, as it is now. (Means
recreating the figures from scratch in Character). What the program *really*
needs is to be able to bring in whole ready figures with their atributes in
Character (with all the inverse kinematics presets, of course)… This should
be a simple matter, I would think… Another button with a little man as in
Direction and just merging the .Fig and .Att files. You should also be able to
delete a segment with all its children in one shot, not just one by one (a
crossed little man button ?).
2) Question: Is there a way to do it now by edditing the .Fig and
Att files in Notepad? What would happen if I had 2 figures: John.fig and
Paul.fig and wanted to create a single Johnpaul.fig?
What I am thinking is that I would start in Character with a new file and
simply add a ghost and save it as Johnpaul.fig. Than in Notepad copy and paste
the contents of both John.fig and Paul.fig into it… (Same with John.att and
Paul.att). What would I have to look for? What parts of the files would I have
to edit? Is it even possible?
Pawel
