Avatar viewer (Wishlist)
Avatar viewer // Wishlistdavid pickeringJan 13, 1999, 4:34pm
What do I want on AW ?
I want a capability to view available avatars ... not just from the back of the head ... not by asking a friend to assume each one .. one after the other ... I want to be able to walk around it ... look at it front and back .... see the actions ... so I can select which one I want to 'wear'. I see it as a button that puts me in a new viewpoint - one outside the avatar (similar to 'camera view') but which will have limited mobility. Arrow keys all me to move VIEWPOINT up / down / left / right / in / out - but direction of view remains directed to the avatar. Action buttons still work - so I can check out what it does .... and then a click of the mouse again allows return to 'eyes' viewpoint. Comments ? Do I have any support in this ? Is it possible / easy / difficult to implement ? Jan 13, 1999, 6:13pm

I agree it would be useful.

Wow, what a change from a few years ago!!!! I suggests the exact same thing
about 2 and a half years ago and nobody liked it at all. I got so many negative replies that I felt like crawling into a hole and hiding for even suggesting it. Yes, I think it is an awesome idea!!!

hehe, and I thought of the same idea just some hours ago!
Great minds think alike.. hehe.. Anyway, yep, it's a great idea, but you two were first, so one of you get the credits (c: -Joakim, CyberTwins (Fredrik and Joakim Stai is my brother, not me) ishmaelJan 15, 1999, 4:06am
heh. felt like replying. it should be a tab. if you have ever played
Unreal, the skin selection shows the character walking while being rotated. this is what I think it should be. in addition to the aforementioned suggestions.

Yes, I've seen that in many games, and it would be very nice, but you
can't make a mirror out of that (wich is very important to me, hehe), and it may be slow..?
