Quote - Mike, those look great. I really like it that you're going to make all the scaling controls fully functional. There's a lot of unused potential there in existing figures.
I agree, the controles are already in the rigg and may as well be used.
Quote - I'll have to check with Mike how he would like the rig licensed, though, seeing as he is thinking about using it for other figures as well.
I can answer that right now. A bit of a rant, but I don't believe in saying someone else can't use my ideas just because I thought of it first. Knowledge, knowing how to do something, is a function of the mind and is free to all of us. Rigging is not something you can just pop into a new figure and use, you're going to have to move things around and fit it to the geometry of the new figure, so your JP's are going to be different anyway. So anyone can use my rigging ideas anyway they wish. There has been too much of this I thought of it so you can't use it stuff, and it's rediculous. A mesh is a different story it's a tangible object and is copyrightable, However the methods and techniques used to create the mesh are not and can be freely used. Know what I mean?
well that's my answer.
cheers
Mike.
