am trying ot do something pretty simple, create a curve preset crowd -
render it in 2 passes, BUT I am using the random scaling tool in the
populate panel to scale my characters - works great for the 1 pass,
until it finshes simulating, then the characters in the XSI
viewer/world file pop to their normal scale - all of them - now this
kinda makes it difficult to redo the sim for the shadow pass render
setup?? AS if I now repopulate to get the random scaling, it becomes
random - and the shadows don't match the previous pass! Anyone know
how to get round this, and also how you can easily randomly scale
characters after painting them into the XSi viewer, as this poulate
tool does not have any randon scaling capabilitites!!</span></font></p>
