Re: [Algorithms] Easy question for you lot on skinning.

[Richard E C. <ri...@co...>]

    It was a test mesh that was a tube and four bones so its quite posible
that a charcter mesh could be ok. But my test mesh did not work at all if I
ignored any of the bones.

    A PS2 game I worked on a year ago had a lot of skinned peds in it and in
the distance we just skinned with one bone and it looked fine.
