      1. Now i created this character myself to animate but take note the legs, feet and the size of the head are completely out in size compared to the animated skel above
        NEW KYLE RIGGED.png

      2. Then i resize the skel which is animated to the size of my character (bareing in mint the animation data still works after i do so) to the size of my custume character for example
        NEW KYLE RIGGED.png

      3. then i replace each of the componants of the skel with my characters componants, much the same of the replace componant option in shaderlight render, once this is done i click the animation botton and my character animates the same as the original skel
        NEW KYLE RIGGED walking.avi

      and there you go, simple, now for the good part, the skel would be available for download by everyone, the create more animations for example jumping, crawling, cycling etc.... and those animations will be available for download also, and all you need to do is repeat the process again with resizing the skel and replace the componants, so can it be done, why not???

        IMO the most difficult thing to overcome would be the mesh updating at the joints. Modo put up a video in 08 that illustrates it nicely at the 2:00 mark. Now if SU or a plugin for SU could do that then we are in business.

          That's exactly what I was talking about, if SU could bend the mesh without ripping it, we would be in business.

            Ok organic surfaces that change and morph when the joints move is complicated, proberly impossiable, but if you not in the post my second video for download doesnt need this to happen, my concept is fairly simple enough leaving this alteration to organic surfaces out, my concept is only a start to animation, maybe in the future, lets say 20 yrs or more down the line they might just add organic morphing,lol

                    I know im using the wrong tool for animations but it can be done using SU, SU might consider making SU more friendly to this sort of aniamtions, i wouldnt say im stubborn, i just cant be bothered learning something like Blender to do animations, i like using SU

                      i wouldn't want to learn blender either πŸ˜„
                      use cheetah 3D.. it's relatively cheap and while not exactly sketchup, it's sort of along those lines..
