at some point the basic avatars also came with the client, but seem to be provided as sepate downloads now too: http://www.realxtend.org/page.php?pg=downloads realXtend avatar model source files for 3ds Max 2008 (25 Mb) (NEW!) realXtend avatar model source files in obj format (0.3 Mb) (NEW!) the bone structure is AFAIK an own custom thing. i don't know what the content license is actually but would guess that something you can use. you might need max to be able to do the collada conversion (the .obj files i figure are just the meshes, not skels as AFAIK obj has no skel support). > source models in the net? Rigged Collada model With H-Anim bone > structure would be a dream come true. if you want a flying squirrel (lento-orava), the Frankie in YoFrankie! - a create commons game (demo) from the Blender institute, is available in http://www.yofrankie.org/?paged=2 (that's an old tech demo, the more recently finished full thing is apparently not available for download yet, but any day now) .. you'd export the model from Blender using the Collada exporter there. i don't know h-anim from before actually, reading http://h-anim.org/Specifications/H-Anim200x/ISO_IEC_FCD_19774/ concepts.html#SkeletalHierarchy seems to allow basically any kind of structure: "The only requirement of this International Standard for the definition of the skeletal hierarchy is that it shall have a HumanoidRoot Joint object defined. All of the other Joint objects are optional and are not required for a humanoid figure to be H-Anim compliant." .. but is it actually their humanoid that you want? http://h-anim.org/Specifications/H-Anim200x/ISO_IEC_FCD_19774/ concepts.html#StructureOfAHumanoid also i don't know if a normal collada export of a rig fits in that specification otherwise (do they talk about joints there? i'm more used to seeing just bone chains..) > Tommi ~Toni --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ this list: http://groups.google.com/group/realxtend realXtend home page: http://www.realxtend.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
