.... How?

I thought that character modeling was as of yet impossible, as you could only move polys and not add or delete any.

Can anyone else confirm/deny?

it looks like it's not a problem for them..?
Making new species without been able to model characters doesn't seem to be an important question

I don't know you should ask stoffe as she's a scripting master here.
But it's not the right way I think

Running straight forward into adversity is not the best way to get around it. You might get somewhere if you can get a master coder (not scripter but actual coder) on your team. Otherwise, it'll be rather difficult.

But hey, more power to you if you can do it.

If we have to we can just do a skin for it or something like that but we really do need more answers as to what people would like to see to figure out what would be the best angle to try to come at this from so please if you could find the time to do the poll thank you in advance!

To make life easier for others here are the links;

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Anomid)

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Muun)

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kaleesh)

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yubookoo) is not a species... its a wookie?

Interestingly as Gsccc, pointed out to me in another thread; while heads with moving parts would still be impossible something like the Anomid; may well be possible, especially if you got a talented moddeler to model a mask, instead of head. Just my 2 cents.

Very true, seeing as the Anomid has a mask on and that it has no inner eye detail, it should be possible to make that a species. However there seems to be a bit of conflict with the others, especially that last one as Jonathan pointed out.

Also, thank you jonathan7 for posting those pictures, it makes it much easier to make a decision on things like this, when you actually know what the species look like :).

i guess it woulda helped if i'd looked at em before saying it wasnt possible, i guess if anything it might be possible to make a character to resemble the anomid though it wont be exact....

You were still right - it is impossible to do something how the OP was saying. But this might be a valid workaround.

Although, if you think about it, it kind of does make this poll a bit moot. If the masked-species is the one that is possible, then that's the one that you should do.

It's not like you can just "find a way" to remodel characters... doesn't matter if you have the whole forum involved. There are a few members that have the knowledge and skill to work on that problem, and they're working. It is what it is.

I like the idea of a shaved Wookiee, would make a great replacement for Hanhar (sp?)
