Animation Tool Puts You in the Game

Matthew Sparkes writes "A new technique could take a simple body scan and allow a user to upload it and use it as an avatar or game character. Previously an animator would have to create a skeleton inside the model and describe movement capabilities manually. In tests, an inexperienced user could produce the animations in less than 15 minutes."

I realize you and the folks above you are being funny, but there are those of us who look more like Legolas than Gimli and have a bitch of a time finding clothes, specifically pants, since the stores deliberately, consciously and with malice, refuse to carry them in our size.

Yes, I'm looking at you Macy's, The Bon-Ton, Boscov's and all the other stores out there. Until your buyers get their heads out of their asses, I will continue to let everyone know of your discriminatory practices. I hope your stockholders are happy with you deciding to forgo a 5-10% increase in sales.

Now mod me down for being offtopic.
