This is what I want:
I want a normal-looking droid who, when the disguise kit is activated, turns into a normal-looking clone.
My question is: How do I accomplish that? Without using XSI.
Either you do it in XSI or you live with it, from what Ace posted, there may be another way to do it, but I'm not quite sure of it.

It sounds like you can give the droid skeleton the human animations, and keep the figure of the droid, but I'm not quite sure.

off-topic: I forget that clones name, but I liked the part at the end where he sacrificed himeslf to blow the charges.

XSI won't work on my computer. Oh well, I guess I'll just remove the unit.

*off topic* I liked that part too - his name was Hevy.

..."Skeleton" and "Animation" references are - essentially - the same thing...
excerpt from BF2 Jedi Creation.doc simplified by me wrote:the next line can be one of 3 choices:
1. Not included (blank)
if the model wants to use the basic human skeleton and animations.

2. AnimationName
if this model uses the basic human skeleton, but wants to provide its own animations as a set of files in the "munged" folder.

3. SkeletonName
if this model wants to use its own skeleton in addition to its own animations.
What Ace is saying is units can use the same animation set but use different skeletons case in point is the female sniper. It uses human animations but uses marksperson skeleton but since there is no animation set called marksperson it uses human animations same for the gungans.
For the CIS rifleman it uses the sbdroid skeleton but since there is an animation set called sbdroid it uses those first and then falls back to human animations for anything there isn't an animation for in the sbdroid animation set.
