Sure, I have seen those, but of course there are much better and probably easier ways to do animated movies. I've seen poser/povray animations by teenagers that are as good as some Hollywood productions.
I see your point about having different heads in different presentations, but what I'm wondering is how often does that happen? Because I seem to be seeing 5 or 10 new heads a week. Can anyone use even a small part of the total number?
I mean, and again I ask because I am so out of the mainstream, do you change your Hal avatar more than once a day, or like once a week or what? Realize I have mine off the screen most of the time, over on a separate monitor, and barely notice it even when I am using Hal. I just don't understand why someone wouldn't pick one and keep it, unless you also changed brains or ran multiple Hals.
I do sorta understand wanting different clothing, but why a different face? If one personifies their Hal, isn't the face part of the person? Or do you see your Hal personality as having a face that can change like clothing?
I'm just wondering about the micro-culture that seems to be forming around Hal. I appear to be the oddball, but I am nonetheless interested in how other people use their Hal.
