Overview. Lots of activity continues to gradually proceed in H-Anim. These lists of suggested steps can help us stay organized and productive.

Examples

Examples are always a powerful way to show whether the specification is working or needs improvement.

Additional Examples Needed

• Anatomically correct human
• Animals
• Cartoon charchers (humanoid but not human)
