Hi Again,
I have more sugestions... :)
Thing i find most dificult is setting up the texture mapping coords. Let me describe how i do it, and tell me if this is the best way.
.5. first i set up a dummy frame that i will delete later. this is so when i rotate objects to face front/back i won wreck a good frame
1. set up my skins window to stay on top and basically select groups of faces in the 3d view, rotate them to face front/back.. and import them to the skins window.
2. I then need to tidy up the vertex placement so that its nice and neat and so that arms and legs wrap around neatly etc....
This is what i find so slow and painfull because selection is so dificult. ie Push the select button, select vertex, push move button, move vertex, push select button ... etc..
In theroy your eye (and the mouse) should never leave the vertex your working with. And will therefore be much quicker.
There are a couple of ways you could implement this.
In alias, you can push your select shortcut key( ctrl or alt) and draging left over objects adds to the selection group and draging right object from the selection group. When you let go of your shortcut key you go back to whatever tool your were using before (M R S etc..). This is the coolest ive seen so far.
by the way.. like the old hag im working on at the moment?
