Scale
How should we determine what scale the models should be set to?

Procedurally Generated Models
Will Obsidian know everything about everything about the game, or just the stuff seen from the visual tiles? In other words, will it know that Urist McMiner has green eyes, a convex nose, brown hair, and that he likes to take long walks on the beach?
If so, maybe we could make dynamic models of of the miners, with an assortment of possible beard, nose, hair, ear, etc. models, that then get cobbled together based on the description. We'd first need to know the range of possibilities for each aspect, though... and I'm not sure where to find that.
We could also do something similar with statues, and items have have been encrusted with jewels, etc... --Crunch 17:03, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
