I heard that this was possible. That somebody released some type of plugin for DWI and SM to do so. Never heard anything more about it though.

It's being created at the moment, The creator of SM is making charaters possible by using Milkshape 3D so you can use almost any character to use.

Own this section, probably.

I guess by locking 5 of their topics that needed to be locked anyways.

AWESOME E4.gif I was quite disappointed when i found out there were no dancing characters in stepmania frown.gif I liked the dancing characters because I used to play Bust-A-Groove, and those dancing chars were awesome! E7.gif

There is a screenshot from Chris Danford with the characters. Characters will be in SM soon enough, we just have to be patient in the meantime.

I wonder how smooth the arrows would run with that. Probably has the same needs as the movie files.

And I know my SM is choppy with the movies.

Movies are a special case: they require a lot of CPU to decode, and updating a texture often. Dancers should be easier to optimize, at least, since they're just models.

Well, if they're anything like the orignal psx characters, they won't have alot of polygons so the frame rate will still be high.
