Creating a Deformer Script with an Already-Made Animation?

[Kia Sierota]

Hello :)

 

I'm trying to make a deformed character on purpose for the sake of a freebie avatar I'm making. Since it's free and for others, I cannot use the other no-trans deformations for my own sake.

 

Anyone know any site to learn about making a deformation WITH a deformed animation already in SL?

Unless you are doing something totally crazy, like something with super long arms, deformers are not really needed. Mesh it coming in less than a month, which allows you to create any size avatar you want with its own rigging, which can be modded and is part of the avatar. By making a deformer, you ensure that your product will be extremely limited, animation wise. With a mesh tho, as long as your z offset is set right, most animation will work.
