I'm not sure what you mean.
You can easily change the pose of the hand by changing some #declared values
that controls the hand. But if you want to change the shape of the hand you
have to change the source code itself.

I think the hand is cartoonish already. What changes did you think of?

Get away with it? Nah... I'd rather improve it!

Is it better in the new version?

Here is a needed function, a branching blob statement.

So that component (A) blobs with (B) and (C) but (B) and (C) don't blob
together.

Before someone suggests that I start to work.... not a chance, I doubt if I
will even be able to learn to use it if someone else -does- make it...

I'll second that.

That's what I've been having problems with. I'll have to try it.

Not very well at this point, but it's getting better.
I use Colefax's clockmod macros for all motion control.
It allows for many type of non-linear motions when interpolating
between points. I've got the head done, and the mouth movements
look good. I'm working on the limbs now. The modelling is easy
enough for a cartoonish character, which is what I'm shooting
for. (I leave the really impressive modelling to others like
H.E Day!) As to how it will turn out once I start trying some
complex movements, I'm not holding my breath. We'll see.

Very cool.  The only thing I've been able to make with blobs is... er...
well... blobs.

I'll third that. I've wanted something like that since forever. Maybe HE Day
can give us a hint on how to do that in Official POV.
