hi all. im creating a simulation, which will have, to begin with, an army of stickmen. each man will have a variety of movements, running, walking, skipping, not moving at all etc. now along with the regular boids idea, where they all move in an ordered way, i also want each man doing his own individual thing so it looks like a crap version of the lord of the rings army. my problem is im not sure how to implement this.lets say one single man can have his legs in "walking mode", but his arms could be in running mode. how do i get the wakling method, and the arms running method to run at the same time? this has to work for each individual man, in a field of up to 30 men. after this my next prob will be to go from stick men to turning them into 3d people. is there a dll from 3d studio max or something that i can reference in my c# app to give me 3d capabilities?if anyone can suggest any better websites/discussion boards for info id really appriciate it. thanks
