Okay... here's an idea I just got. It might not be filled, but...
I am wondering if anybody would be able to do a mesh that could change into nothing more than mist for certain animations. He'd be a human mostly, but when dodging or flying he suddenly changes into mist. Maybe for when he dies too, wafting away into nothing.
That would be super sweet. Of course, I don't have a full costume or anything envisioned, so I don't know what sorts of other keys or pieces would be good, but even if this can be done with a simple male basic, then other things can just be skoped to it.
So, fellas... is it possible?
I have a kind of idea. It would involve a mesh with FX, like flame/smoke/etc (Human Torch for example). What you'd need to do is to vanish the body, leaving the FX or just activating them during those animations.
How to do that, is beyond me. I'm just an idea man :P
I have a gas cloud mesh somewhere...
Tommyboy's older and current Red Tornado meshes switch between a full body and a torso only meshes; Ren's Martian Manhunter switches between 2 meshes; Texas Jack's sandman or plastic man. Any of these might be skoped to fit. I'd go with MM.

Is that a character mesh, with keyframes (of some kind)? Does it look like a thin gas, smoke, or a dark cloud? I was wanting something like that for one of the Serpent Society gals (Black Mamba, I think).
There is a mist-guy in the Pulp Fiction mod. I have been meaning to look at him as a possible base for Vapor Man from The Galaxy Trio.
It's a cloud. No animations to speak of really.
You know, I downloaded that pulp mod when it first came out, but still haven't gotten around to starting it... I really ought to.
Glad to see there's some interest in this, though. Might look into a few of these ideas myself.
i hope this helps but beyonder made the female_bald_fx mesh and tap43 did a villianess skin of the mist which she has a mist/smoke effect coming off her.as far as a person changing into a mist form to fly/dodge that would be awsome...especially for the character vapor from the u-foes.
