So, I've got here a nice and simple trick to use with 1.8 skins
As we know, we cannot have two layers on the body, legs and arms
Over mine-imator, with two characters, we can have the second layer on the body (but not in the arms and legs, I think)
Using the instances, we can join one to another (the second one to the first one) and make the second skin (the body layer) bigger with the scale option
So, it can get like the 1.8 skin models!
Hope it helped, even if it was just a bit =D
(I'm not that good in this stuff so be nice, please)
No pics yet, I'm new in this forum stuff and it is always saying that the pic must be smaller
