You say there is other ways to simulate soft tissue, can you elaborate and maybe give some directions to how that's done. Is it possible to do that with A6? It would help a great deal in my project to know if there is a way around it. thanks, Noob65

My understanding is that this technology is used for faces. If so, there are many systems that do that in games (some better than others).

Well, of course The point is that XSI automaticaly attaches vertices to more than one bone What about the the converted file ? I suppose that the converter must detach some bone I am concerned about such operation Can I expect problems , in some critical situations ?

So it works in Lightwave and I exported an animated flag that way into gamestudio. I think it will be the same in XSI. Gamestudio does not support more than one bone per vertex. So you also could convert an animation to vertex animations and it will look superb but will use more memory than a bones animation. Regards, Frank Models, Textures and Games from Dexsoft
