Awesome!
I'll be in touch, but you feel free to PM me as well!
Question, do you know how to make a whole body mesh out of those two separates? I've never done it, but it'd be cool if it were possible. I know the difficult part will be the bone assignments. I am not up to date though and am wondering if there is now a more automatic way, rather than having to do this all manually.
I've tried adding both separate gmdcs into a full body mesh, since obj files don't seem to have the bone data. I wanted to try this so that all of the mapping and categories would stay consistent. Eventually I planned on tossing the original body once the two separate parts were in there, but wes_h's plugins always give an error (after the warning that adding another gmdc could make the mesh unstable, heehee...I had to try..LOL)
Does that make sense to you? I'm still trying to make sense of it myself. :/
Another thing that separate parts method would be good for is using the top on all of the other bottoms meshes, so that they're always consitent. What I've done with all of my athletic meshes was a very long process since each time I made a new mesh, I did the top all over again trying to get everything as close to the original as possible.
It always looks to me like your amazing meshes are made from the same "base mesh", so I'm hoping you might be able to enlighten me about how to do so.
Otherwise, I can just send over the files and you can work your magic and make any changes that you'd like.
Anyway, I'm excited to do this project with you! I think it'll be lots of fun!
Take care.
