Interesting. Check out this idea I was working on:
sync on
autocam off
color backdrop 0
position camera 0,0,-50
make object cylinder 1,1
`big bone mesh
scale object 1,300,1000,300
make mesh from object 1,1
`medium bone mesh
scale object 1,100,1000,100
make mesh from object 2,1
`small bone mesh
scale object 1,70,200,70
make mesh from object 3,1
delete object 1
`shoulder joint
make object sphere 1,4,20,20
position object 1,0,10,0
`upper arm
add limb 1,1,1
offset limb 1,1,0,-5,0
`elbow joint
make object sphere 2,4,20,20
glue object to limb 2,1,1
position object 2,0,-5,0
`bicep muscle
make object sphere 21,3,20,20
glue object to limb 21,1,1
position object 21,0,-0.5,-1
ghost object on 21
scale object 21,100,400,100
`tricep muscle
make object sphere 22,3,20,20
glue object to limb 22,1,1
position object 22,0,-0.5,2
ghost object on 22
scale object 22,100,400,150
`lower arm
add limb 2,1,2
add limb 2,2,2
offset limb 2,1,-1,-5,0
offset limb 2,2,1,-5,0
`wrist joint
make object sphere 3,2,20,20
glue object to limb 3,2,2
position object 3,-1,-5,0
make object sphere 4,2,20,20
glue object to limb 4,3,0
position object 4,-1,-1,0
make object sphere 5,2,20,20
glue object to limb 5,3,0
position object 5,1,-1,0
`upper fingers
add limb 3,1,3
offset limb 3,1,-1.5,-2.5,0
add limb 3,2,3
offset limb 3,2,-0.5,-2.5,0
add limb 3,3,3
offset limb 3,3,0.5,-2.5,0
add limb 3,4,3
offset limb 3,4,1.5,-2.5,0
`knuckle joints
make object sphere 6,1
glue object to limb 6,3,1
position object 6,0,-1,0
make object sphere 7,1
glue object to limb 7,3,2
position object 7,0,-1,0
make object sphere 8,1
glue object to limb 8,3,3
position object 8,0,-1,0
make object sphere 9,1
glue object to limb 9,3,4
position object 9,0,-1,0
`lower fingers
add limb 6,1,3
offset limb 6,1,0,-1,0
add limb 7,1,3
offset limb 7,1,0,-1,0
add limb 8,1,3
offset limb 8,1,0,-1,0
add limb 9,1,3
offset limb 9,1,0,-1,0
set text font "courier"
set text size 10
selected=1
do
text 0,0,"Use mouse wheel to select limb."
text 0,20,"Use left mouse click and drag to control selected limb."
my#=mousemovey()
mx#=mousemovex()
for object=1 to 9
if object=selected then color object object,rgb(255,0,0) else color object object,rgb(255,255,255)
next object
if mousez()>mz
inc selected
if selected=4 then selected=6
if selected=10 then selected=1
endif
if mousez()<mz
dec selected
if selected=5 then selected=3
if selected=0 then selected=9
endif
mz=mousez()
if mouseclick()=1
xrotate object selected,object angle x(selected)+my#
yrotate object selected,object angle y(selected)+mx#
if selected=1
if object angle y(selected)>80 then yrotate object selected,80
if object angle y(selected)<-80 then yrotate object selected,-80
endif
if selected=2
if object angle y(selected)>45 then yrotate object selected,45
if object angle y(selected)<-45 then yrotate object selected,-45
if object angle x(selected)<0 then xrotate object selected,0
endif
endif
if selected=2
scale object 21,100,400,100+object angle x(selected)/1.7
scale object 22,100,400,150-object angle x(selected)/1.7
endif
sync
loop
... then combine this idea with your foot idea, and we may be onto something .......
