Kewl, I'll keep plugging away with this Manny, see what I can do. Still not happy with the head, gonna simplify it a bit..

Animations done on an entire piece within the files would imply thats its purely based on the selection of the groupings.. would that be right.. or is it on a vertex level? Subdivided faces could be done but its a hell of a lot of sub-dividing, avoided this due to the model breakup. For example in m...

Henshaw, To update the models you need to introduce more vertices and faces. Any additions will surely not get animated and/or have any UV mapping applied. If we can't move any existing vertices then creating from scratch is a no I'd presume? If we have stick to these constraints I don't think we ca...

I wish I could tell thee. I literally haven't modelled for the last 18-24 month. Just got 2012, the latest version.

Blender may display it, but its a POS to use..

I will post updates!

Now to start..

Guys, I've just had a nosey through the files. Here's my thoughts: - If models are going to be changed, this should be done at the start as the UV Mapping / Textures / Colour Maps will all need changing. Maybe a two phase approach would work here where textures are made a higher resolution until tha...

I've also made manny in the traditional 3d sense, too

How close are we to a 3do exportor or converter from OBJ? I used to do a lot of 3d modelling, texturing, etc and this project sounds awesome. The progress so far is awesome... Couple of things: If you're updating the file resolution of images but sticking with the original models - the UV maps shoul...
