By itself, a 3d mesh is a hard object, immovable, unchanging. To get something to change, you have two main avenues available inside of Unreal: vertex morphing (the reshaping of polygons) and bones. Morphs are limited to what you calculate out while creating the model. Bones however can be hard, or soft, and even in between, which is why they are so popular. So, a ball flattens when it bounces off a surface, you need a soft bone. The computer calculates out how the bone inside the ball reacts, then transfers that data to the mesh on the outside. When you have precalculated changes, morphs are easier on the GPU, so you find them used for things such as people's faces in SWTOR when they talk. When you need to calculate it on the fly, like the motion of a cape flapping in a random wind pattern, it is a lot easier to use a bone.
So, on the "jiggle" factor which is the topic here, soft bones would be needed.

Hi Doctor Tyche!

I just wanted to thank you for weighing in on this important topic. It makes me happy that my thread is still motivating interest in this area.

You seem dedicated in making the game more like CoX and not so much like CO!

Well this thread only stayed necro'd for 5 weeks that time...
Sure it was the OP who bumped it this time, but I still have to wonder if this thread will ever die. ;)

Oh, come on! It was the second-from-the-top post in the forum when I replied to it. You can't say I am necroing something if I am replying to a thread which is the second most recent thread on the whole forum!

It at least needs to get to the point where it is on the second page of the forum before you can make a plausible claim of necroing...

Edit: Now that I think on it, I might have actually been replying to the most recent post on this forum. Instead of the second most recent... Regardless, accusations of necroing threads are obviously inaccurate!

PS: So let me enjoy the CoX breasts and stop trying to give me saggy CO breasts already! And get off my lawn, you kids!!!

LOL please! You were just the latest in a long line of necromancers. This thread has been brought back from the dead at least 6 or 8 times - the longest it was down was like well over half a year. If you bother to review this thread you'll see there's been a lot of "debate" on this topic and there have been people who have claimed this issue is not "important" enough for the Devs to pay attention to. Clearly the fact that this thread continues to resurface proves that's probably not the case.

Again if you review this thread you'll see that I've been one of you most supportive disciples. ;)

Hi Lothic!

I guess I just didn't like the necromancy claims when I was posting on a thread that was one of the top threads of this forum. I am sorry if I offended you.

Long live perky (and not saggy) breasts,
Nennafir

PS to the devs: They don't have to be huge, just not saggy...

Perky breasts need good support, to keep them from getting saggy! (insert Lothic=underwear reference) *grin*
Be Well!

PS: Don't say I am necroing. This was the top/most-recent thread in the forum at the time I replied to it.

I always want a fair hearing of things.

The following is what I get when I search for a feminist ranking of superheroines:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4073132/Large-round-small-perky-Scientists-reveal-types-breasts-men-REALLY-prefer.html

Summary: "Men prefer shapely, perkier boobs to those that are the largest."

Hopefully some dev somewhere is taking note. Perky breasts are definitely the norm as far as comic books go. Only villains would have CO saggy breasts...

Was Champions Online a success? I hope people are taking note!!! Please, this is issue is very important. It is as important as hunger/malnutrition in third world countries.
