- SKELETON
-
- This object comes fully assembled with linked motions that are
- inter-changeable, allowing a variety of actions. It is comprised of over
- 200 separate bones though I have taken the liberty of locking some
- bone-groups; the Ribs, Dorsal Vertebrae, Sternum and the Costal Cartilage,
- Wrist bones, Ankle bones and teeth since these groups seldom exhibit
- discernible motion. If your animation requires motion in these areas, you
- can do it because all the bones exist as seperate obects.
-
- The Skeleton comes with the following motions, ("Scene Files" in Lightwave,
- "Skeletal Action" in Playmation);
-
- 1. Stand
- 2. Stand to Walk_1
- 3. Walk_1
- Walk_1 is a casual walk cycle.
- 4. Walk_1_45_L
- Walk_1_45_L is a transitional motion
- where the skeleton starts from the
- Walk_1 position, executes a 45-degree
- turn to the left and ends in the
- Walk_1 postion.
- 5. Walk_1_90_L
- Same as Walk_1_45_L except the turn
- is 90-degrees to the left.
- 6. Walk_1_45_R
- 7. Walk_1_90_R
- 8. Walk_1 to Stand
- 9. Stand to Sit & Sit to Stand
- 10. Stand to Run_1
- 11. Run_1 to Walk_1
- 12. Walk_1 to Run_1
- 13. Run_1 to Stand
-
- There is a tutorial included along with an assembled Scene file
- (Choreography file for Playmation), which will take you through the process,
- step by step, of moving the skeleton around in your scene.
-
- For studios and individuals desiring to create their own actions, scene
- files have been included that cover the basic range of motions for the
- individual joints.
-
- This is a complex object and for some of you it might seem frustrating
- trying to create custom actions. For this reason, we will be offering
- libraries of actions as fast as we can turn them out. We will also create a
- custom action, for a fee contingent upon the complexity of the request.
-
- Don't let the price fool you. Even though this skeleton costs just under
- one hundred dollars, it's quality can compete with those selling for as much
- as $3500., and those aren't articulated. Included in this price is a manual
- which supplements the tutorial scenes on disk. There are charts which
- illustrate and name the various bones, for those of you who are not
- anatomy-freaks.
