biped

why doen almost nobody use a biped for his charakter? that would make it far more easy to use it without a intensive preparation.

 

Um...thanks for the heads-up? If you want a biped in there why not rig it yourself? I don't see the point of complaining to the whole forum about it. If you have questions for the authors send them an e-mail but please don't post a new topic unless you're going to be more specific and do something other than complain.

 

First of all, many characters available on scifi3D do have biped attached. Then it's also because biped are only available for max models. And finally, applying a biped a long and borring, and not easy at all (I hate skinning shoulders). Sure it looks easy when it's already applied and you just have to play with it.

So that's why I support DVEditor. There is a french expression saying: "On est jamais mieux servi que par soit-meme". It means "nobody can't serve you better than your-self"
If you want a biped attached to a model, go for it. And don't forget to submit the result to Scifi 3D, so it will make the work easier for other people

 

Actually, they are not all that hard to do on Canvas, although they do not look quite as good as max animations do.
