3dsMax [Biped Spine Rotation] Reverse Curve??

StephenVyas

Once upon a time, when I knew what the hell I was doing in 3dsmax, I thought there was a button in the biped rollout menu that would allow the biped spine to rotate in a reverse curve manner. - As shown with biped #2, in the picture
#1 is the normal way the biped spine rotations look.
#2 wasn't there a button that would allow for reverse curve like this?

There is the bend links rollout in the biped menu (motion tab of the control panel, when you have a biped piece selected). It does have different rotation settings for the biped spine, but I don't think there are any tools to do what you are doing in #2 by just rotating one bone.

You could rotate it with "Bend Links Mode" turned on to get the curve (just like #1), then turn it off and rotate the bottom spine to bring it back into alignment (just like #2).

Yep
Ah well, thanks for the reply- It saves me from searching for that non-existent reverse curve button any longer :-)
