I exported both "heads" (h_Fanielle.gm and h_towngirl1.gm) with Inez' nifty tool, open them in Cinema 4D, deleted the head for Fanielle and the body for the towngirl, then imported the remaining head and body back into the game. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" />

<div align="center"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/justagrrl/Dani_Blazebottom.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /></div>

This is an original-texture version - I have done nothing to the textures from Blaze (Nathaniel) and Danielle, so it kind of looks like her top is short, heh.

I also found I basically had to "merge" two vertices (points) to keep the legs from ending up having two rather nasty spikes in the rear, especially during death or landing - it will distort the texture somewhat (as can (barely) be seen in this shot), but it is only on the upper part of the inner thighs where few details go anyway... There is a slight distortion now, as you can see by the "thinning of the thigh" up towards her crotch. Can't do much about that I think... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :shrug

Of course you should upload them, we're all looking forward to it. I don't think there's any formal procedure for the assignment of numbers - you posted in the sticky and that's that.

Oh gosh, yes... I made that Tim Curry as Long John Silver from Muppet Treasure Island, but really, if I could make a Dr. Frank N. Furter with really girly legs, that would just be perfect.

As for fleshing out and such, it works as long as you keep things (joints, mostly) close to the original - too much will give odd effects when vertices decides to have a walkabout... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :rolleyes:

My nom-de-plume here (Catalina) is based upon a real life folk hero of Spain, Catalina de Erauso, or the "Lieutenant Nun".
