Hi - just wondering if anyone knew whether, when you rig a character in Character shop, it creates a 3d entity with the same set up and rigged bones as with most of the fpsc character packs? It seems to, but just checking?

Quote: "Fully Animate your Models

Character Shop is the solution to this long-standing difficulty. The program contains 80+ professionally produced animations that can be applied to any humanoid mesh scaled to the fit the skeleton. This means you don't have to do any of the animation work yourself - it has already been done for you by professionals. You simply rig the skeleton to your models and save the end results. The vertex weighing process is straightforward, with powerful selection tools to reach every nook and crevice. Use the auto-attachment feature, then view the mesh deformation in real time and make final adjustments to the vertices.

err, yes.

Still doesnt answer the question. :-|

Let's put it another way, are the skeletons rigged (with same number of limbs/bones) the same as with the (majority of) FPSC characters?

Say if I pulled out the animations (Enhanced Animations file) from a character rigged/boned by CharacterShop, could I apply those animations to (most of) the humanoid FPSC characters...??
