Chalk "Outline" of Guy - Innoventive Software, LLC - 02-26-2004

Need a murder "outline"?

You could draw a true outline on a bitmap in your favorite paint program and then apply it to the top of a cube and then stretch the cube to say:

5% height
300% wide
600% depth

which will produce an outline like the one on the left in the image below.

OR, you could download this “flat guy” character who is all white and basically two-dimensional. You can pose him like any other actor but he remains 2D and functions as your stand-in for the outline as shown in the right half of the image below.
