Hi,

I am currently working on a piece of furniture that will have the cushions, padding seperate from the main body/base. I want to be able to apply MAT poses to these models so that The fabric can be easily changed, also I would like to apply morphs to the models so that they could imitate compression caused by a character sitting or leaning against a soft surface. I would also like a couple of the soft cushions to be posable (so they can be rolled up like a futon mattress or bent).

I really like the idea of using alternative geometry (could be used for the soft furnishings) and I may want to combine this as well.

My main question is, would you advise creating these objects as props or posable characters or a combination of both. My main aim is to try and get as much versatility from my object, without clogging up my pose and character folders with too many selections.

Cheers,

Simon.
