I agree where weight is concerned. Its easier said than done. People from medical backgrounds may find weight estimations useful but, I know that it will need to take in to account the human physical attributes of bone density, muscle density, age, etc.
I understand that certain other sliders will not be quantifiable either, like ethnicity for example.
Where measurement is concerned much of it will be accessible via the measure tab once it is operational. In alpha 7 I used this as a tool to tweak the model.
It would be great to have these length and circumferential measurements (if not alterable, then at least visible) on-the-fly, whilst moving a slider.
With any artistic modeler, it is not so much about weight or measurement anyway, its about proportionality. So, even if the slider did indicate a simple value between 0 and 1, it still serves as a guide to the modeling sizes and an aid in attaining symmetry.
Thanks for your thoughts.
