Anyway of shrinking the bone structure?

[Genesis]

some of you maybe aware that i am in the middle of creating genesis for FF7

im using kimera and having genesis replace barret, so other characters can soon replace the others

but im having problems with barrets bulky size as it involes a large bone structure which genesis would not fit



ive moved the parts in but it still isnt great

should i use another program or can i actually shrink the skeleton down for him?

Yeah there is. Apparently some people find it easy, some find it hard :/
This guy used a hex editor to do it.

P.S. I wanted to try a Genesis mod :O
But I thought it would look better if maybe I replaced cloud with him. Meh.

i was going to replace cloud but this mod is goin to be part of a set of characters

No need of an Hex editor.  You can either do it with the notepad or with Kimera.  With kimera it's a lot easier though, just select the bone you want to shrink and click the "-" button of the length (of course if you want to make it longer you hit the "+" button)

Hope it helped­.

Ah, that makes it much simpler.

It looks really great, are you gonna release this?

[Genesis]

well the '+' and '-' technique works to a point

his arms are still quite far out, i'll use the hex editor technique as there is more freedom but takes more time

and JordieBo yes i will be releasing this along side several other characters in a new patch im doing, im going to release genesis alone first to make sure it works well and people can report bugs and then im going to work on the 'SOLDIER' patch which will be replacing all the characters with characters from SOLDIER and this will include a new dialogue and some more character changes, making Hojo the main antagonist in the game =)

The "+" and "-" option always work while shrinking bones... that's the idea: it shrinks bones.  But it doesn't shrink the P parts, you have to shrink them with the bone XYZ scale or with the P editor.
