TXB: Tell us a bit about what the character, Xavier Fox, will look like and how he will move. Are there any special traits of his design that you’d like to point out?Cliff: He was basically just built around Steve and Dean’s specifications. He has a skeleton fully constructed by hand. I didn’t use Character Studio or Biped, so I didn’t cheat. He’s going to move, very human like. He’s bipedal, he wears clothes, he’ll progress from a walk with lower confidence to one of complete confidence. He’s very limber like an Errol Flynn type of Robin Hood. He’s suave, debonair and graceful. He’ll have IK (inverse kinematics) from the waist down, so he’ll react realistically to environments. Also he’ll be able to hold most any item he comes in contact with. Whether that is a sword, a rock, a story related item or whatever the player wants him to.
