Oh, I missed that thread, since I included the keyword 'Action' in my search. :)
My point of view is animation, but I think a generator's view is quite
similar. I've read somewhere that the main object in animating a human or
humaniod is the hips. So with that in mind, I'd like the hip joint axis at
y=0 both at the hips+torso (body?) assembly and the upper leg parts. The
knees shold be at y=40 at the upper legs and y=0 at the lower legs. The same
applies to the arms and head. The origin of a child object should always be
where it's attached to its parent object.
But that's just my opinion...
Maybe I should make crude mockups of all the parts to make it easier to
discuss the parts orientation and let the generator gurus begin their work?
