The idea for this scene came about as I wanted to set up a scene with multi charaacters,
and I've been relying on pre-built *free* rigs that I've found to go along with the
*free* Maya PLE <g>. I've collected about 20 rigs, but only 2 or 3 great ones, PM, being
one of the best.
I thought it would be fun to put multiple PM's in one scene, with their personalities being
so different, that the viewer could easily tell them apart after a few lines of dialogue
The chars :
Mr. Johnson (BOSS)
Wilson (Wimp)
Zicoli (Dude)
Donnelly (Hyper)
Sullivan (Slow)
Waichowsky (Nerd)
--- scene - a board room, 6 men sitting around it
There's a problem with the Anderson account, and the team have to come up with a
solution.
I don't know if anything more than this scene can come out of these characters, I was thinking that since most (all ?) Maya users already have packageman, you could add to this scene or create another scene to add to the "The Adventures of PackageMen".
Here's a ~5 minute rough dialog that I sketched out. I think if you listen to it, the personalites are obvious :)

P.S. I'll upload the scene I created after I try to redo it using references. Initially I just started with packageman and imported that scene 5 times, and now the file is 29 meg !!
