No problem. Just make sure you credit me.

Will do, (I have a few people to credit and get names of before this can be released though) oh and for the v2.0 (if you do one) possibly add some anims for him like head turning and such .

I don't think elfie will do that

That's... quite some work

Edit: There are several ways of doing it.. Most simple is animating the texture, this means no new anims are required, and since the head is round, it will look like he rotates his head all the time.. Tricky, but should definately work without new animations, and strange envelopments or whatsoever

I definetly don't think I will have the time to make all new anims, like Manderek said, but I could look into that animating textures.

Quick tut:

Import model
Make it look okay (importing might mess up)
Give it it's texture
Keyframe frame 0
Keyframe frame 1
Go to frame 10
Rotate the UVs (or the head, dunno, maybe an animated mesh might work, no one ever tried)
Keyframe frame 10
Export with anims as well

Should work.. right? I think it will this way

animating a mesh should work.

That is really cool. Every last detail looks like the real thing. Genious.
