Gustave in two parts...
 

This is the Gustave model from 3DMM. In seperate top and bottom half varieties, allowing better animation possibilities (like, say, decapitation.)

Wow...........I really need to get this thing working...

oh the possibilities! quick shit test movie: http://www.klown.info/uploader/image/gusthalf.vmm

Check mines out....lol

Holy...

EDIT: Haha, not to Red's post, oh no. The link doesn't even work.

The only problem is it's 1MB for a joke that'll probably last about 5 seconds.

I'll use thumbkiller then...next time...

No, the top and bottom halves are around 500kb each. You'd have to take a few actions and costumes out off the two models to reduce the size.

thumkiller only takes off about 10k/scene

I suppose Destra's idea's good for smaller file size. Like.. the legs' actions (some of them) are very similar, like, talking and mad sad or something, because the main movement's in the upper half. Still..

Will there soon be everyone in two parts or just Gustave?

Arghh...Thats hardly the point - we can now manipulate the body parts a lot easier. It doesn't matter if that technique is used throughout a 5 hour movie, it'll still only bump the size up by 1mb.

...Anyone could probably do exactly the same without these expansions...Idiot.

hahah, he starts showing up if you change the costume...

In that case can't someone just make a model with a transparant skins and then we could interchange limbs from visible to invisible on just one model when we want?

HAY.


from left to right: Funny Hat Gustave, Slightly More Realistically Proportioned Gustave, Normal Gustave

Oooh, I like the middle one.

How much would removing the default actions (grow, shrink, spin, etc) reduce the filesize?

Just about none at all.

taking out unused textures does, though.

Hahahaha. Awesome!

Haha!

I did a test movie of Gustave's legs walking and his top half in the walk action (so.. it basically looks like he's walking, believe it or not) but then turned the top half round 180 degrees. Looks fucking freaky.
