MrHappy interview with yoshida from tokyo

[Kazran]

I really don't want Hrothgar to share Roe's model even if it's easier to just retexture and rig it so it hunches over like it appears to be in the video... I don't want Hrothgar to have orangutan syndrome. Roe's legs look shorter than they should for their body. I want Hrothgar to be proportioned right. However in the reveal video they appear to have the same problem so perhaps I shouldn't hope.

They wouldn't share a body model, each would have their own body 'morph' as it were, this morph tells the gear mesh how to shape itself to appear as if your Avatar is wearing it, how to conform to the shape of their body as clothes and the like would naturally do! And so they could share gear models instead!

If they were to try to use a less thicc race as the base the gear would looked stretched out and weird and so they could use the gear made for roes as their body types would be much more compatible!
