Joint Deformers are OK to use if you're never going to export to a game. Most of the artists here seem to create animations for in-game use. But if you're just rendering it, then go crazy. I have heard the advanced Skin deformations are not mirrorable, currently, although people seem to be very interested in it. It is…

As much as I like Blender I often find some of its features somewhat lacking, and feel envious of more focused commercial applications.

If the app or engine you're using to visualize the normal maps generated with xNormal uses the OpenGL's…
It isn't standalone. At least, not at the moment. The initial plan is to release the necessary tools and documentation to allow users to construct their own interactive objects for use in the "rooms" system that they've already constructed.

Im using 3DS Max's biped system for a quick rig for my current character. I have been trying to get the rotation of the UpperArm bone linked to the rotation of the clavicle bone so that when the spine rotates forward, and the clavicle rotates with them, the upper arm should be "locked" to the same rotation in the X-axis…
