Creating more characters

High on my wish list for Antics 3d is the ability to import Poser characters. In the meantime here is a hot tip I've just started using. Find two characters of similiar size. Say Girl A and Girl B. If you'd like A's head on B's body, then animate B to do whatever you want first. When you are done, use the shaders editor to set the head of B to invisible. Now save out poses of B and get A do follow the same animation. Hide A's body (leaving the head!) and you've got yourself a new character. You could try experiment with link/attach the head to B's body also. Good Luck!

cool.

Not nearly as sexy, but kinda worked - as long as you don't mind their underlying bone structure -- I found the TGA files that were the maps for the various characters and mapped new faces on.

I agree though - more character import ability. poser would be sweet.
