proxy model

[LIGHTBEING]

i was wondering...what is a proxy model?

[KenH]

It's a spline lite version of the real model that can be swapped for the real model later. It's purpose is to make animation faster.....if the model is too spline heavy then realtime speed reduces.

What TWO model are you using?

Of course both models have to use the same bone-system and the same poses, etc. to work properly. After that you can just change the shortcut to the model and the animation will be transfered to the real model.
