Skinning Help

kanser03

Hi, I need some help on how to properly skin the shoulder armor that I've made. It has a strap aside from the main armor, and I don't want that strap to move along with the rest of the armor when the bone where I attached the armor into moves. How can I do that?

I also need help adding weight on the clothes so it would sway when the character moves. How can I do that?

Thanks in advance guys.

If you want stuff to sway while it moves...

You can't That sounds like you are changing the bone structure of skeleton.
Skinning the armor and weighting are 2 different things.

Pics will help us help.

not really swaying... what i mean is... just like the capes, the back parts of other hero.. when the hero moves it sways

I imagine properly skinning the cape to the correct bones will help.

But then again this is a vague problem, and pictures could help troubleshoot.

I think what he means is have it moving like a jiggle bone, independant from the actual model. Like Medusa's tail.

From what I've heard, dota doesn't play nice (at all) with jiggle bones.

^There are jiggle bones in DotA like Snipers cape, Jugg's fur, etc. but you can't add them to heroes that don't have them.

Assuming the OP meant jiggle bones

Dota 2 soft body physics are handled by cloth simulation, and hand animation. Like other said pics will help, what you want may not be possible
