im curious to know if you have the modeling worked out yet - especially on changing appearance of a character via equipment (different shirts or possibly adding armor). if this could be done via laying models or reskinning the character model only.

This is an area we hope to look at shortly. At the moment we are working on a basic test avatar for use with the EWB. It comprises just a few meshes. The engine can cope with this at the moment. The area we need to look at is the ability to change these meshes 'on the fly' so that, for instance, clothes can be changed in real time. This is fairly near the top of the list in our development program.
Once we are into Beta we will start developing our own demonstration game. This is important to us as it allows not just the testing of the system, but allows tools to be planned and developed as they are needed for the EWB. We are also hoping for feedback from members who develop their own worlds.
