Because of this, each sub-part has its own set of properties that can be manipulated, without changing the properties of the other sub-parts. However, Alice 3 models are built around a single skeleton, using sets of joints. This allows for more realistic animation for the model, and also better supports an inheritance structure for teaching Java and object-oriented programming.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Therefore, it is not possible to change the color of the Mad Hatter’s hat, as it is not a separate object.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">However, there are some models that have different forms, such as the YetiBaby. In the gallery, the YetiBaby has three forms, the default form, one with a scarf, and another with a tutu.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If in your animation you wanted to put the scarf on the yeti, you would use the models setYetiBabyResource procedure.
