3 part player models

by Leon · in Torque Game Engine · 10/10/2005 (1:26 am) · 3 replies

Im searching a way to let the player customize his character.

I know a way to do it is to have all geometry on only one model, and then shut down the visibility of the unused nodes.

But I dont want to load ALL models plus ALL textures at once, so Im searching if its posible to handle player models divided into 3 parts (remember quake3?): head, torso, legs.

Also, if people wants to share another solutions, ill be pleased.

Regards.

Heres a good place to start

mountable heads

from there you would just extend this to other body parts. A while back there was an extensive thread about mounting all the body parts.. i just cant find it atm, you'll have to dig..

Thanks, im I dont think It can be done mounting, since the legs arent a static object, it needs bone animation itself.
