OK... about de Bones (C2 supposedly offers them)...

I've used bones in other programs for posing and animating figures (I do very little animation)... my question is are they useful in modeling a figure (other than positioning it)... like for shaping, blending...?

What is the full scope and advantages of bones beyond animation?

--- one reason of many why I was hoping to get some sort of preview help files, etc. for C2 prior to release... I have it on order, but guess I may just have to wait to see just what it is we're getting.

thanks.

They should be excellent for positioning the models and you can also resize the bones to make changes in the mesh"muscles" It all depends on how you created the skeleton and if you added the bones to the part you want to modefied. You can also create a library of skeletons that you can keep on using. Ringo
