So, um, I thought I might like to try my hand at skinning.. I've been doing a lot of 3D texturing and stuff for animation lately, and I've been enjoying it, so I thought maybe I'd enjoy skinning too...
Problem is, I haven't had Freedom Force installed in abouttttt 3 or 4 years now. And now I'm on a Mac.
Did the Character Tool ever come out for OS X? I know a port of Freedom Force arrived for Macs but I can't for the life of me find the character tool available for anything but PC anywhere.
Slightly on that note, anyone on here skin on a Mac?
Heh, thanks guys.

IPS is the resident 'skinning on a mac' expert round these here parts...
IPS used windows to check his skins on ctool, iirc. Do Nifviewer and nifskope work on Mac?
No, unfortunately neither of those programs work on a Mac as far as I can tell... Hmm...
I mean, I guess I could use my roommate's computer to check skins on ctool.. he's on a PC. Just seems very inconvenient.. hmm..
CM, I have no idea if this works, but have you tried WINE (http://sourceforge.net/projects/darwine/)? Let me know if that works. Good luck!

My suggestion would be even if nifskope doesn't have a Mac version, ask the Niftools team if they'd consider one. At least they haven't vanished from all eternity.

for skinning?
Yeah, the nifskope program can be used as a poor man's character tool if need be.

Heh, thanks for the advice guys.. Regarding Bootcamp, I used to have my PC partition on my computer (and it worked beautifully but I just don't have enough space anymore.. (I'm on a laptop, heh..)
Proto and Tiobe, that was just juvenile. I'm surprised, I wouldn't have expected it from you two of all people.
If either of you were willing to actually discuss why you don't like Macs then I would love to have that discussion with you. To come into a thread, however, where I'm trying to get questions answered and to leave (completely off-topic) comments obviously intended as flame-bait is just non-constructive. :mellow:
Everyone else besides them though, thanks again and have a nice day. :)

who moderates the moderators?
Yes, but that line sounds soooo much better in the original latin - but the original klingon is pretty good too.

pst... *I* hate to be the voice of reason, but i'm pretty sure they were just messing with you.
Actually, I thought I was "messing with" Proto in a clannish sort o' way. :unsure: I have no problem with Macs, CM. Besides, I've had the pleasure of knowing many fine MacLeods, MacCulloughs, and MacVarishes. ;) I have used Macs (the machines) and enjoyed using them. Moreover, my brother, a graphic artist and art director for a profitable marketing and branding firm, swears by them and runs his own Mac blog.
Don't hate me, CM. *sob*
