crowd, different animation on right and left turn

[Tjommas]

Hi Tyson!
I'm close to finnish but I have a couple of questions:

1- Can I tell tyflow not to render the bones of my skiiers? and keep render other hierarchical objects (helmet, goggles, skis...) ... Edit : OK I could do this with a transparent material but I still have some shadows 

2- Since skinned mesh are not treated like other meshes, it won't inherit its material, and therefore, I can't randomize the material of my skiiers by particleID... Is there a simple method ?

Thanks a lot... a video soon if I can solve this.
