True, I too will sometimes use simple manipulation to pose a model into the t-pose so its easier sometimes to paint weights etc... I do this with rotate manipulator and sometimes have to tweak the geometry once in pose, and as stated before me, the Tpose isnt always crucial for rigging. By the way, this one has me curious as my 9 year old son is BEGGING me to do Sonic and animate.. he's a total Sonic fanatic!! ( and I mean FANATIC! ) :bow:
