WOW!
Well I have just had a 15 minute serious play with Character Shop. It's the first time I have tried one of my own characters and used the new help files.
With in 15 mins I have my own (really really crap) character doing all the funky animations in Character Shop. Most look brilliant, a couple look odd without guns and stuff - but once a gun is in place I should think that will look fine.
I agree with some of the above comments about more animations - realtive to none fps games - but for fps games development this programme has to be a very powerful addition to the tool set.
I used the auto attach and because I had scaled my character to the size of the .3ds example with Character Shop Practically all of the vertices attached correctly first time.
I simply fired up the instructions and less than a minute later I had ALL the vertices properly assigned and working!
Josh - you've done a great job so far with Character Shop - version 1.0 release is stable and very very quick to use. I was gob smacked at how quick in fact as I have Max and Character Studio is so complex and results are a little irratic for me.
I would like to see some platform style additional animations so I hope this version sells well for you.

BTW Josh with the Singularity Engine, the World War II models pack, textures, Cartography Shop and Character Shop... what's next from you????
Excellent work!
