Hi, could you help me with these 2 problems?
1. I want to animate the Arachnid-mesh made by William Burningham to let it look like it would walking. I tried with bones, but to me it looks more complicate then modelling the best ship. Some suggestions(espacially on this mehs)?
2. Is it possible to let the particle emmit meshes? I mean that the particles would be replaced with an object, so I gould animate szenes with many many without to spend much time on it(I mean withou to copy and copy and copy...)
thx

you can replacd particles with objects and animate it via LW_Cyclist... that way you would only have to do ONE walkcycle... I know that it works, I tried it with spiders once... been a while though..

Can I replace the particles from the particle object from 6.5? I dont see the options to do this. Or do you mean particlestorm?

no, it's in LW 6.5 and is called 'Particle Linker'

Thx, I've found it. But if I saw right this plugin is only for the motion, it would mean that I have to clone my object. Is there another plugin which does this automaticaly. I mean that my object will created when a new particle is created.
