I need to know one thing before i can really get to editing these things...
how do i edit the hierarchy... is this the 1: 0: 2: 3: section in the beginning?
My idea is that instead of making a hierarchy and all that you could make an
entirly new 3do using box modeling or something like that with 3dostudio or
something... i just got a .obj exporter for 3dostudio so it makes that easier.
I think that when the model is just one object instead of many you could make
a single skin instead of many... this would be hard to make by hand so you
would need an editor similar to npherno's skinner for quake (it paints directly
on the 3d model)... this doesn't seem too difficult as it would simply record
the vertices you are painting on and then translate that into whatever the
jk equation is for stretching the skin. thanks
