How to change the size of different parts of an avatar?

Hi,

I am working on avatars in the vizard, is it able to change the sizes of different body parts on demand? For example, change the size of the arm, the body or the leg? Thanks.

This is possible if you have the Max files that come with the Complete Character set. In Max you could split up the body mesh into meshes for each body part and scale them there.

Thanks for your reply.
But what about I don't have the Complete Character set? Now I only own male.cfg, female.cfg, vcc_male.cfg, vcc_female.cfg.

The only way would be to create your own models for different body parts and link them to bones of an avatar.
For example if you created your own hand model that was larger than the avatar hand you could try linking it to the hand bone. Then you would need to perform operations on the link so that your hand model overlays the avatar's hand correctly. This would not work if you wanted to show a smaller hand though.
