When more Staff visual options will be added to the people module ?

Hi,

In FlexSim HC 5.3 there are many different visual options for staff / doctors / nurses:

Currently in FlexSim 18.1 there are only 2 differents shapes for staff:

I know that the people module is using bone animations, whereas FlexSim HC uses legacy animations with components for each physical part of a human, so it's not that easy to migrate the new visuals with bone animations.

In which future release does the dev team estimate to add more staff visuals in the people module ?

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.1.2

Part of the 18.2 Beta is the ability to change the features of the people in the model piece by piece. For example, you can change the color and texture of just the shirt of a staff member or choose to make certain layers transparent, etc. The 18.2 Beta is now available and this feature will likely become an integral part of future releases as well.

To add to Tanner's explanation, 19.0 is the release that should incorporate more UI for customizing people visuals in the People Module.

18.2 includes the engine features necessary to customize the internal meshes of shapes, such as bone-animated people. 19.0 should include a variety of new people shapes and customizations using those features.

This feature is still a work in progress and didn't make it into 19.0

This feature should be available in 19.1.
