After Robo Bladin, I have this idea of Robots on skateboards. And I want to iron out some techniques for using my new ZBones script.
As a start, I created the Zbones for my figure using my Zbones Script (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=004304) with a nearly front on perspective to build my stick figure.
Hopefully this guy will look like he is crouching down and doing a trick on his skateboard. As I placed each piece, using my new mouseclick feature and adjusting the centerpoint and angling the part, I placed a Marker.
When all pieces were placed I used the MagicMarker tool and created a polymesh of the whole stick figure. One note, is the MagicMarker did act a little weird. First thing was the hips and the head was aligned off to the side from where I placed it, and the head, thou I made it with a sphere turned into a 3D Cylinder like the rest of the parts. Go figure! So I had a do a little adjustment before I made the polymesh.
By making a polymesh of my stick figure, even thou I created it as a front view, I can now rotate and position my figure any way that I want for my final image! I can imagine him flying thru the air coming off a big whoopTeeDoo!

Anyhoo that is where I am at now, I will need to make some background and props etc... and then place my Zbones in the picture. From there I can build ole Robo again hangin ten! Got to brush up on my skateboard lingo heh
