[Plib-users] ExPoser help required.

[Steve B. <sjb...@ai...>]

I know from the volume of "Wow!" and "Thanks!" emails that quite a few
people are having fun playing with ExPoser.

I was wondering if people who are just playing or learning might like
to contribute some ".bones" files for the "human.ac" model that comes
with ExPoser.

My next game needs:

  * A variety of martial arts "moves" - anything that looks cool
    will do.

  * Shoot various weapons (these would be separate models - or
    added to human.ac under a switch node).

  * Walk, Run, Jump, Land(eg from a fall)

  * Climb a ladder, Swim, Ski.

  * Dive to the ground, get up again.

  * Crouch down (as to place something on the floor), get up again.

  * Rolls and gymnastic flips (as if to dodge a bullet - as if you
    actually could! :-).

  * Die (in a variety of creative ways - falling forwards, blown away
    backwards, or even slump, take a couple of steps, collapse to knees,
    say "Tis a cruel, cruel world" then fall flat on face!)

  * Anything else that you can think of. :-)

Any '.bones' files that would result would be released with 'ExPoser'
under a "do whatever you like with these" kind of a license (licensing
data is tricky)...so I'd expect these moves to start showing up in
other games.

For consistancy, load 'human.ac' and then 'human.bones' as a starting
point (so all of our bones files have the same names for the various
joints).

Bones files are tiny - so please email these to me at
<sjb...@ai...> and I'll coordinate the distribution
of them - with appropriate accreditation.

If everyone does just one or two, we'll be done in a day!
