Click Joint. Attribute Editor -> Joint Labelling -> Other and you can type in whatever you want. Make sure to tick draw label. Dont think you can name an ik handle. But just use the text tool and parent it under the ik handle. Can also do like a constrain against the camera to act as a sprite.
Ahh - yes the Acorn .... I got myself a ZX Spectrum from my first holiday job money, about arround 83/84. Long after my friends got one: my parents simply could'nt effort this expense, after they already sent me to technical college ( including required boarding home rent) in 1982,
You can technically do this without bones by having each movable part as an individual child under a parent portion of the building (such as the foundation); but it probably depends on which engine you're going into. I know Unity recognizes basic transformation keyframes if they are exported with your model but if you want…
Kids games at full retail price are a thing of the past, now that we have Facebook/Flash and phone games that are almost as sophisticated for free to 99cents. Even PSN and XBLA games are cheap alternatives. I don't think 40 dollar+ price games for children are purchased by parents anymore, when the alternative is just as…
Thanks for the comments guys. I worked a bit on rigging this guy today, just basic parenting for the parts. Anyone know of a really good tutorial on how to rig tentacles? I duplicated along a curve for them today but that obviously isn't ideal. Dis, Ferg - Still working on the tentacles, so yeah, they definitely look…
Take your time to grieve but don´t overdo it.Make a cut somewhere and try again! My parents had a chance about 5% to get kids and you know what?I´m here nontheless spitting on percentages. I hope you and your family get over it fast, this would be better for your kids too ;)
Blender has two strong, automated human rigging templates that you can use if you're familiar with Blender. Just add a rigify rig in the scene, adjust it to your character's proportion and hit generate. Then you can parent it to your character and use auto-generated skinning (which works okay but has a lot of troubles with…
I have created a vanilla run cycle and I parented the stand in axe to the arm. My plan after this is to add weight to the axe and add characterisation. My character has a cocky attitude of a teenager jock who over estimates his abilities at times, but still performs a heavy blow with his axe, when motivated.…
K I forgot, I really was freaked about Body Snatchers but don't know why then. Also I was allowed to read the Exorcist at 10 and I read all the way up to where she started fu(king herself with the crucifix and I freaked out and wanted to see a priest and my parents took the book away. Does that count?
Just hoping to keep this thread going, it's not new but i made a deformer to bones script a while back. Basically, if your engine only supports bones, this will convert any maya deformer (blendshapes, wraps, wires etc.) and parent them to your existing skeleton.…
