I'm saying we only have 3 body types and make the changes like breasts part of
clothing that only females can wear. then we can change the armor/clothing
looks thing in conjunction w/ texture/color changes... I think we're both
thinking the same thing

ok i was just wonderin how you had pictured it working out, i didn't mean
that your plan wouldnt work
hey, so anyhow how do you think we should handle the case of different body
types wearin the same items?
BTW kent you are right on with the helmet thing, heads could all stay about
the same size (and we could make a setting on the item for whether it hides
the hair model or not), and shoulders are easy-ish too (:
