[Expression-main] Hi

[Lee S. <le...@ab...>]

Hi my name is Lee Sandberg, I run a smale outfit in Sweden =
(www.abcmedia.se) and we have been working with 3D modelling of game =
characters and a middleware for modelling emotions and behaviours using =
(HFSM) well finite state machines, for a while know. When we encountered =
Expression now we started to work with it and it is for us the first =
real test of our 3D work and behaviour scripting system. We will post a =
demo of our stuff once it gets going.=20

We are currentlly refitting one of our characters to Expression and =
writing our own version of Expressions MapExpRotation function, so the =
body animation system we use can control the Expression head and neck =
bones=20
We will simple have to heads one simple just a jaw and then an =
Expression head. Once the character is in view close to the screen we =
will swap heads as a kind of level of detail, we can also have different =
heads on different bodies which is a plus.

The we are currently trying to get the neck bone and head bone position =
and orgientation to match.

We use 3DSMAX (soon 4) with Character studio 3 to do this. We use Deep =
paint 3D and Texture weapons for UV mapping and texturing.
